What Gets Your Blood Pumping?

I love to know what inspires people. What has the ability to pick you up when you are feeling down? What do you loose yourself in and forget about the time? Where do you see beauty in the world? What makes you smile?

For me it is books, music, nature, my sons, children and individuals who make a commit to something they are passionate about and then take action.

New Ventures Are Inspiring 

Launch of the International Association of Solopreneurs

While preparing for the launch of the International Association of Solopreneurs I have conducted at least 40 interviews of successful solopreneurs. The interviews are available for members to access and learn from others who are in the same shoes they are. The diversity of these solopreneurs is incredible. Each day during our four week give away one of the interview will be live on the front page of the site for anyone to have access to, but only for 24 hours, and then it disappears behind the membership only curtain. I hope you visit daily and listen to these incredible gracious solopreneurs share their stories.

Be sure to catch today's interview with Shama Hyder. Enter for prizes at http://www.solopreneurs.org

I love books 

These are my favs at this moment

Books inspire me. I love to read so much so that I am typically reading more than one book at a time. My library will continue to grow because I can never get rid of a book. I will continue to add to my list and would love to hear your top books as well.
  • The Bible, by God
  • Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill
