Interesting stuff we write or find that helps people do what they love.
This morning, I was out in our little paradise room with my coffee - a tropical screen room with a bar, kitchenette, seating for a dozen and a stereo.
My ears perked up as I listened intently the song Hearts on Fire by "Scars on 45". My epiphany: This is a great song for an entrepreneur or business owner. This part is the part that got me:
Cause when you're standing on your own
And you feel you've got nobody round you
Yeah you know I'll be the one who helps you from your knees
When you're standing on your own
And you feel you've got nobody round you
Yeah you know I'll be the one who helps you from your knees
My hearts on fire
Us entrepreneurs are a different breed and so are business owners. Click on this article for the difference. It's lonely at the top of your organization or company. Even if it's just you....alone. As CEO and chief cook and bottle washer, you don't have someone else to talk to. Someone to bounce ideas off. Someone you can trust will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. That's what I do for my customers every day. That is why that song hit home for me.
When I'm working at home, as many entrepreneurs do, I listen to my iTunes all day long. I thought, wouldn't it be great to have a great playlist of songs that inspire entrepreneurs.
Leave a comment and let me know why certain songs inspire your entrepreneurial genius.
Here's a couple more I find inspiring:
This one is an obvious inspiration for entrepreneurs. Especially the ones that feel like they have to over-plan everything, and talk a lot about what they're going to be doing, and don't ever really get to creating their dream. That's not me, but I see many entrepreneurs stuck in the analysis/paralysis mud.
I don't know about you, but I sometimes stay awake at night with my mind chasing pirates. As the captain of your ship, you can define pirates as customer problems, growth issues, operational problems, marketing questions, sales challenges, etc. What most entrepreneurs and business owners want is peace of mind so you can sleep better at night.
What songs inspire your entrepreneurial genius? Comment below.
Here's another one. George Benson playing "Take Five". Something all of us entrepreneurs need to do every so often. http://youtu.be/r0KOzrMUt10

I like Dream Life, Life by Colbie Caillat because its the life entrepreneurs strive to achieve. It's uplifting and I can close my eyes and envision that place. http://youtu.be/pbk560ZEIfY
