To find inspiration is important to have an active imagination, and that needs to be exercised. Turn on your imagination by doing creative things.

Do things that encourage people to find inspiration through the use of “out of the box” thinking. When you support this kind of thinking by not criticizing it, new inspiration will really start to flow.

When exploring newly formed network connections, you’ve first got to gain the trust of those in the network. If you’re only there to complete your business task, it’s obvious to others and doesn’t engender trust at all.

Take the time to care about the people from whom you’re trying to gain inspiration. That requires sharing a part of yourself and being more vulnerable.

Finding inspiration is a journey with no beginning or end. Like anything else, most of us can’t find real inspiration the first time we try.

Finding true inspiration is something that you’ve got to spend every day doing, a little at a time. So, bring it into your daily schedule.

Being connected, but also a part of your network’s community, allows you to consistently find inspiration for both products and marketing faster than your competitors.
