When you're in the mood to learn, there's inspiration everywhere. One of my favorite examples goes back thirty years. When I was getting ready to convert a house to rental property, I picked up a book on how to be a successful landlord.
I was surprised and pleased that the book started out with an impassioned chapter on running a small business. After all, rental property involves income, expenses, marketing, sales, maintenance, taxes, record keeping, and sometimes outsourced labor. In the end, the chapter was all about doing things the right way and taking your business seriously.
As I cruise YouTube and blogs for tips on making small projects, I came across a video that started with four full minutes of inspiration along the lines of, "Lots of people have done this, and you can, too. Whatever your excuse, someone else has a better one. So get started!"
Maybe it's just serendipity, but I find inspiration wherever I look. And, in particular, in everything I read. I know for a fact that I find ideas because I am always open to ideas. And that's related to another bit of found wisdom that applies to almost everything in life:
It's not a race. Slow down. Take your time. Do it right.
What do YOU read for inspiration? (Or watch. Or listen to. Or ...?)
