Inspiration Before Ideas
03/11/2005
Ideas are the currency of marketers and bloggers too! Diva Marketing Blog is about ideas. Ideas that look at the world sideways. Out-of-the box ideas. Ideas that put your brand center stage.
But...before Ideas there is Inspiration. Ideas can be illusive. It is Inspiration that renews your soul and spirit. Inspiration awakens creativity. Where do you find inspiration? And what inspires this diva marketer?
Would it be corny to say my dad? My dad was one smart dude. Much of how I look at marketing and business reflects what he taught me. Do business with people who respect you and who you respect. Treat your customers and employees right. Give more than 100%. Especially critical in a service gig where your reputation is your product.
What else? Walks along the beach and walking city streets. Discovering surprises around corners. And of course, Max my Westie pup who insists that I find time each day to play ... whether I want to or not!
