Inspired Help

March 20, 2016

How are you handling change this week?

Last week we talked about change being an opportunity for growth. 

So what changes -- large or small -- have taken place in the last week that have positively propelled your growth forward?

It's important to reflect on where you were, where you're currently at and where you want to get to. Taking stock in your progress can benefit your motivation to keep moving and growing in the direction you want.

There's another aspect to growth, too. There's a communal aspect. Connecting and sharing with others about what's going on in your progress with your individual endeavors -- even if unrelated to one another. Some of the most inspiring ideas come from unexpected places.

In that communal connection with others, you can further benefit yourself by being helpful to others first.

In other words, if you connect with someone in person, or even online in a mutual Facebook group (or something similar), and you find inspiration from something someone else is doing or what they've shared, be sure to pay it forward and let your network of friends know about that person.

Not only does it endear you to the person who originally inspired you, but you'll feel good that you helped someone. That kind of positive energy is further motivation for your own endeavors.

...and the magic that happens over time from doing that regularly is that good things start to find your or happen to you when you least expect it.

That being said, I'm working on a way to better connect with you, to be inspired by you so I can share with others all the great things you're doing.

In the meantime, I want to highlight Matt Jacoby, a fellow musician friend of mine who is also a great inbound marketer. He runs

, an inbound marketing and web development agency. If you need a website or need to get your business' online presence working as a better marketing and sales tool, Matt's the guy.

Hit reply if you have a story that you'd like to share with me. I always want to know what you're up to.

Thank you for your time and attention as you read my regular ramblings.

Make it a great week!
