Monday Morning Inspiration - Rick and Dick Hoyt

What is holding you back from becoming who you want to be and doing what you want to do? You'll see, if you take a few minutes this Monday morning to watch this video, that you're just letting excuses stand in the way.

Resolved to let nothing stand in their way, Rick and Dick Hoyt have demonstrated that obstacles can be smashed and "you can do anything you want to do, as long as you make up your mind you're going to do it."

What are you going to do with the New Year?

Welcome to 2013! Now it's time to get to work and figure out where things are going this year and how things are going to happen. What are you going to do with this blank slate called the "new year"?

What do you want to achieve in 2013? 

What do you want to get done this year? You've got 12 months staring you in the face waiting to see what you're going to make of the opportunities. So what are you going to do?

Monday Morning Inspiration - LT and the Navajo Chief's Blanket

You have to love it when things come together for someone who really needs it. Sometimes in life, you're just hoping to catch a break. I know the feeling. You just need something to go your way.

"LT" Who has had some health problems found himself in possession of an antique Navajo blanket. He didn't know much about it until he saw a similar blanket on the Antique Road Show and decided to look in to it.

Monday Morning Inspiration - MeTag Creativity & Ingenuity

Monday Morning Inspiration - MeTag Creativity & Ingenuity

A couple months back my friend Justin Lukasavige created a post about someone who had an awesome idea who wanted some feedback about uses for his new product. Creative and unique product ideas are always an inspiration to me. It's probably the main reason I love watching "Shark Tank" so much.

Monday Morning Inspiration | Matt Cutts' 30 Day Challenges

Monday Morning Inspiration | Matt Cutts' 30 Day Challenges

"If you ever really want something bad enough, you can do anything for 30 days." That's what Matt Cutts tells us in this video and I have to admit that I'm intrigued by this idea. Take something you want to add to your life (or remove) and try it for 30 days. Absolutely brilliant. With just a little will power there isn't any reason you - or myself - couldn't start making changes and creating new habits this way.

Custom Stix - Monday Morning Inspiration

Custom Stix - Orracle Media

A few weeks back I got a case of sticks from my friend Jeff Jones. If you don't already know, Jeff is the drummer from Big Daddy Weave, and has a business called Custom Stix that produces an awesome product.

I'm a huge fan of creative business ideas and this is a perfect example of just such a business.  What Jeff has done is create an awesome business that fills a need and does it in an incredibly creative way.

Friday Inspiration - Defeating Goliath - Small Biz Wins Big

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the size of the competition in your market and the "big boys" who seem to be able to call all the shots? Me too.

This is an amazing story about a single mom with a small business, striving to make things happen, and takes on the industry giant, Coca Cola, head to head, and wins.

She was just about to make an incredible breatkthrough in to a new market when Coca Cola came in to steal her victory. But she built a solid, loyal customer base who rallied to her defense, and she was able to defeat Coke!

Monday Inspiration - Make it Count

Monday Inspiration - Make it Count

Sometimes you just need a reminder that you don't want to leave anything on the table when you're done. You don't want to say "I should have done..." or "I wish I would have ..."

This video is by a guy who sought out to "make it count" and I think it's a great piece of inspiration. He travels around the world on the budget Nike gave him to create a video about making it count and this is what he did with the money.

It took them 10 days to go through the money, but they made it around the world. What a cool adventure!
