Internet Inspirations

We all need an inspirational boost from time to time, especially when we are self-employed  in a creative industry, so I'm here to share with you some online resources that really had jazz to my "job"!

Planning & Organization for Business. By now, it's now secret to you that I'm obsessed with planners. I have three right now. I'm getting another. It's really getting out of control, but I have never been more productive, so I'll take it however I get it! One site I credit with my love for planning, and it's successful placement in my work day, is Strange & Charmed. Check out just one of her videos on productivity and planning.

Some other planning resources that I've loved these past two months are:

• MissVickybee
• Mae | MaeBad
• Add A Little Shine (and I'm not even a little ashamed I've purchased planner stickers!)

Running A Heart-Centered Business. Kelly-Ann Maddox is an unapologetic warrior at the heart of a spiritually-centered business. Though her business model and practice isn't exactly product-based, her ideas, advice and ethical musings are appropriate for any creative industry. Read her Wonderworker Business Blog for fabulous tips and insightful, encouraging words meant to fire you up for success!
