Inspiration For Your Business

In this episode, I want to chat with you about something we all experience, especially in January, the rollercoaster of inspiration in our landscaping businesses. As we hit the second week of January, I know that initial burst of motivation might be wearing off a bit. We start the new year with grand plans, but then reality kicks in. The routine sets in, the kids are back at school, and suddenly, we're juggling time again. I've been feeling it too, and I bet some of you are in the same boat. So, let's talk about how we can keep that inspiration alive and well throughout the year. First off, inspiration doesn't have to cost a thing. A quick Google search for business or landscaping inspiration can lead to a wealth of ideas. Read blogs, like the weekly ones on TLC, covering a range of topics. This week's blog, for instance, explores how Landscape Business Magazines can be a goldmine of inspiration, offering industry trends and business strategies. Now, I want to share some books that have been game-changers for me. There's "Manifest 1 and 2," all about manifesting your dream life – a topic I'm passionate about. "Systemology" has been helping me streamline my landscaping business systems. And for mindset shifts, "You Are a Badass" and "Chillpreneur" are must-reads. Podcasts are a constant source of motivation for me. I love listening to content creators and motivational speakers. Carrie Green, from the Female Entrepreneurs Association, and Diary of a CEO are among my favorites. Of course, I hope you're a regular listener to this podcast – the Limitless Landscapers podcast! Webinars are another fantastic resource. I used to host them when I was The Landscaper Circle, and they're an excellent way to learn from experts. But a word of advice: choose webinars that truly matter to your business. Live sessions are better than recordings – believe me; I've signed up for many and rarely watched the recordings. Excitingly, I've got some collaborations in the pipeline, so stay tuned on my social media for updates. And speaking of learning, consider online courses and programs. They can give you that extra push to develop your skills and boost your confidence in your business. Don't underestimate the power of events. Whether industry awards, like APL in March, or local business gatherings, they provide opportunities to learn, network, and collaborate. Attending these events has often reinvigorated my passion for my business. Now, mentors and coaches – they've been absolute game-changers for me. Having someone to guide you, hold you accountable, and provide that much-needed boost can make a huge difference. I've got three mentors for different areas of my life, and they've been instrumental in my journey. Surrounding yourself with positive people and creating an inspiring environment is vital. Upgrade your circle, and if your workspace doesn't inspire you, change it! Inspiration often comes from bursts of insight, so actively seek out those bursts. Just recently, a creative idea sparked during a call with a content creator. Collaborative conversations can be incredibly motivating. As we navigate through 2024, remember, you're in control of your journey. Check out previous podcast episodes and blogs for a timeless dose of inspiration. Stay motivated and stay inspired!
