Supernatural Botanicals

We like to keep the atmosphere “inspirational” in our studio, and there’s no better way of doing that than to paint the walls…or at least a one focal wall of color.  Which color do you feel you’d be your most creative in?  Green, yellow, or orange?

Nothing improves your mood quicker than great music.  Jeff Gold’s Escapes Music for Relaxation is tranquil and relaxing comfort music, ideal for creative inspiration, music therapy, healing, massage, yoga, or just winding down.   We listen to this CD in Supernatural Botanicals’ workshop, and find it to be great music to work to, relaxing the mind and allowing the creative inspiration to flow.  It’s fabulous!  Check out Jeff Gold’s website to listen and purchase to his fantastic music.

It’s the second week in January….are you still keeping your fitness goals?  Keep yourself inspired and motivated with magazine subscriptions to fitness magazines.   Fitness magazines, such as Oxygen, Self, or Shape magazines keep you learning and yearning for more.  It’s literally the gift that keeps on giving.  Each month you’ll learn about new techniques and exercises to help you achieve a lean, strong, and healthy body.  And if you subscribe to a fitness magazine, you’ll get a new dose of inspiration every 30  days.  Without a doubt, you’ll see a body in those magazines that inspire you to work out harder, eat better, and push yourself to achieve your fitness goals.  From rookies to advanced gym rats, you’ll find something inspirational every single month.  *Frugal tip:  Borrow magazines from the library and have access to all the fitness magazines on the newsstands.

“I’ve never really viewed myself as particularly talented.  Where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic.  While the other guy is sleeping, I’m working.  While the other guy is eating, I’m working”. …Will Smith’s insight to his success.

There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, “Yes, I’ve got dreams, of course I’ve got dreams.” Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they’re still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, “How good or how bad am I?” That’s where courage comes in.

Women are starting businesses today at two times the rate of men, and the growth rate of women-owned firms regularly outpaces overall business growth according to the National Foundation for Women Business Owners.  How’s that for girl power?! 

Quote:  “I used to focus only on what was going wrong, like the fact that I was still working at the same dead-end job and could barely pay my bills.  But in the past couple of years, I’ve shifted my energies to creating the life I want.  I wrote a business plan, found some investors, and was able to start my own record label.  Now if something doesn’t go well, I come up with ways I can solve the problem.”   …..Lunden De’Leon, Founder and CEO of Dirrty Records, Los Angeles, on success.
