The Business Blahs – we all get a case of them now and then. They are not fun. On a mild day, they can make you feel like sitting on the couch and watching TV all day. In a worse case scenario, they can make you want to throw your whole business out the window.
I have found that the only way to get the business blahs out of your life is by finding some great inspiration. This can be found in many ways. It could be a teacup in a color or shape that makes you want to create something just as pretty. It could be reading a website or blog that you find so wonderful that it drives you to make the most of your own site. It could be listening to or reading an interview with another business owner and hearing a tiny little sentence that gives you a great idea…
Inspiration comes in many forms, and I have been inspired by all of the above… as well as articles & pictures in magazines, conversations with friends, music, and more!
Sometimes, I get inspired too well! I try to always keep a notebook in my bag, that way I always have access to paper and can write all of my ideas down before I start forgetting them!
What do you do to get inspired?
So now it’s your turn! What inspires you?
Actually now that I’m in my thirties the fire has died a little. So there’s a couple of new small businesses being run by energetic younger chicks that remind me of me 10+ years ago. I read their blogs and sites for inspiration..
I like to leaf through my piles of magazines, especially anything by Stampington company. They have such wonderfully photographed and inspiring images. I get many ideas for new products and displays.
