Inspiration for an Entrepreneur

**steven.ruddell** · 04-26-2007 12:57 AM

There are a lot of different ways in which we, as entrepreneur, get our ideas for businesses. I personally have favorite quotes, poems, books, etc that help me attain new ideas. I have a poem that I read out of a book that gives me great inspiration to do what I do and I believe every person, whether you be a employee or an entrepreneur, should read and appreciate.

Cool poem... LOL my house is covered in famous quotes, between that and sitting in my backyard staring into space at night I have discovered thats where my inspiration comes from...

I also started reading old literature lately like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and War and Peace... After reading about half of War and Peace I had my little black book filled with about 30 diffrent ideas.

Anyway its cool to see where others get inspired...

try to surround your self with high achievers

this way you get peer pressured into being sucessful :-)

works every time

gaining constant knowledge is how I keep going. Always sticking to my plan, but at the same time keeping things fresh.

It really is an amazing book. I would suggest it to anyone who is just starting out.

Ahhh, my favorite poem as well. It was one of the only things I got out of HS English classes that has beneficially impacted my life.

That and the ability to read and write the English Language.

Always a pleasure to read it again, thanks.

I love reading business books and hearing success stories from other entrepreneurs.

get new friends - because your current friends get greedy and then act like they depend on you - BS

like akula says surround yourself with achievers

I tend to listen to certain songs which contain certain messages. I also agree with Robert. Learning new things about business and my field of real estate also give me a little hype to get going.
