One of my favorite questions for my entrepreneur friends: “What do you do when you need to get inspired… and you don’t have a whole lot of time?”
After all, as entrepreneurs, we get paid for the ideas we create and put out into the world.
Which sounds great in theory… but as anyone who’s had this “job” can tell you, that can be a lot harder than it sounds.
And if you’ve been in business for any length of time… I’m sure you’ve also had the experience of being up against the clock and trying – sometimes a bit desperately – to force a good idea to happen.
I’ve gotten a huge range of answers to this one… but for me, it’s always been clear…
The answer is in the mountains.
If I’m ever stuck – on a campaign, an email hook, or a big idea for a promotion – I know grinding it out on my laptop isn’t the answer…
So I lace up my shoes and go for a walk or a run in the woods. Because that’s where my best ideas show up.
In fact, it’s one of the reasons I moved out into the mountains of Durango, Colorado.
(Dan calls it “inspiration convenience” 😀)
In this episode of Dare To Launch: Chris, Dan, and I go deep on this – about why your environment matters more than you think (especially for entrepreneurs)…
… and how you can create your own personal “Durango” – wherever you happen to be in the world.
