More Than WE Know

It’s been an inspiring week for me and I hope to share some of that inspiration with you in this week’s round-up of exciting articles on the web.  So without further ado, let’s get started!

One of my favorite sources of inspiration, Christine O’Kelly, from Self-made Chick wrote a great article on breaking out of her comfort zone to reach new heights in her article How I’ve Been Holding Myself Back and How to Avoid Stagnation in Your Business.  Christine’s article is a reminder that we sometimes need to let go of the comfortable and familiar in order to achieve our next level of success.

A brand new source of inspiration for me this week is Stephen Hopson from Adversity University.   A little over ten years ago Stephen was a successful Stockbroker on Wall Street. One day he walked away from the glamour and money (not to mention the long hours and high pressure)  and devoted his life to motivating others!  And if that isn’t inspiring enough - Stephen has since become a much sought-after public speaker - despite the fact that he has a profound hearing loss! 

Stephen says ”Trust that bigger things are in store for you if you listen to your intuition, take action and believe that things will work out despite lack of clear supporting evidence.” 

Another frequent source of inspiration for me is David Bohl who usually writes on his blog Slow Down Fast.  However this week I found him guest writing on Dumb Little Man with an article called Don’t Let it Be Boring - Let Life Excite You!  Nothing more I can add to a title like that!

It might seem odd to find inspiration in an article that is talking about the possbility(reality?) of a recession.  But I liked the positive focus that Gavin Ingham put on his article Selling in a Recession - Why Some People are Going to Crash and Others are Going to Fly.  

I liked the fact that Gavin reminds us that even when dealing with a situation that seems outside of our control, such as the economy, our reaction to it is still very much within our control.  Focusing on what I can control, always helps me cope.

And the last item is a treat - a blogtalk radio episode with Wayne Hurlbert interviewing Dawn Rivers Baker.  Dawn is an expert on microbusinesses.   In this interview Dawn describes the rapid growth of entrepreneurial non-employer businesses including who they are, their business styles, and their niches & industries.

Since this category includes many Women Entrepreneurs, this interview is all about you and the significant impact you have on the US economy.  Listen directly or download the mp3 file to listen later.

This week’s reading really energized me! It’s great to see so many people taking charge of their lives - I hope you’re feeling it too!
