I hope you had a great Easter and all is well with you.<\/p>\n

As you know, I have been going through the A to Z of Success and looking at one letter each week.<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s Thought for the Week was \u201cH is for Heart\u201d and I hope you found that thought-provoking.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s thought for the week is all about \u201cI for INSIRATION\u201d \u2026<\/p>\n

There is no one right way to get inspiration. It is deeply personal and derives from what is important to and what drives you.<\/p>\n

But no matter where you find it, it is often an integral part of what keeps you going when times get tough.<\/p>\n

For me, my inspiration comes from seeing transformation happen.<\/p>\n

Most of my inspired action gets generated, not when I\u2019m in front of my laptop or networking, it shows up when I\u2019m working with my clients, out for a walk, gardening or even ironing!<\/p>\n

It is the small, quiet whisper that floats through my mind. It is unconditionally, an easier, better, quicker way to get the results I want.<\/p>\n

It is also, unconditionally, an out-of-the-box approach that I wouldn\u2019t have considered while strategizing in front of my laptop. Out-of-the-box thinking generates success for an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

So, I researched this topic and these are just a few of the things that inspire some of the World\u2019s most successful business owners \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing around passionate people. They are always contagious for me and they get my juices going. And they come from all walks of life, not just famous artists or musicians\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI am inspired by the fact that every day is a new day. I really think that there is an opportunity in every day, especially when you\u2019re building a business. You never know what is going to come, and I get really excited when I wake up\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGet people to think bigger and shoot for these outlandish feats that are good for humanity. Having people thinking about ideas that are audacious is a good thing to spur people on. I\u2019m not shooting to land people on Mars, but it\u2019s good for people in general\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really inspired by the possibility of change and how to seize that. I believe those things start with a combination of proving something is possible, telling the right people about it and then pick up the torch and carry on from there. The right way to think about it is planting the seeds of what is possible and enabling a lot of people to go after it\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMaking change and empowering people. I’m a big believer in the power of one – that one person, one action, can have a ripple effect that can make a difference\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that change is possible. If we look back at what’s been achieved in the face of incredible odds, it\u2019s amazing. Compared to that, whatever problems I face seem extremely solvable\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we can travel, you not only encounter so many different cultures and ways of life, but you also meet so many new and interesting people who can teach you completely unexpected life lessons and be the inspiration for your next great idea. I\u2019ve often come back from a trip with a completely fresh perspective on my business, and it helps me ensure we\u2019re always innovating and being creative\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCourage is something that drives me and inspires me when I see that in people\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCapital isn\u2019t that important in business. Experience isn\u2019t that important. You can get both of these things. What is important is ideas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYour time is limited, so don\u2019t waste it living someone else\u2019s life. Don\u2019t be trapped by dogma \u2013 which is living with the results of other people\u2019s thinking. Don\u2019t let the noise of other\u2019s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.\u201d\u00a0-Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and Pixar-<\/em><\/p>\n

What inspires <\/strong>you<\/strong><\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all feel uninspired at times. The good news is that it\u2019s a natural part of the creative process and something everyone struggles with.<\/p>\n

The next time you\u2019re stuck in a rut, here are some things you can do to get inspired …<\/p>\n
