I’m going to keep this short and sweet because, let’s be honest, it’s Fourth of July weekend, baby!
So whatever you are doing this fine three day weekend, we hope you find it restful. And what better way to rest with a little inspirational reads by the pool, or the air conditioner, or on your patio, drinking some mint watermelon lemonade (or whatever your heart desires)?!
Here are some of our faves:
For the Solopreneur…
This interview with Jane Riley, founder of Jane Reaction studio.

For the Activist…

As women entrepreneurs told me when being interviewed for my first book, Transformational Philanthropy: Entrepreneurs and Nonprofits, philanthropy is more than just donating money.

For the Starter…
Think volunteering is a waste of time? Think again…Here’s a post on how volunteering can put you on the right track for your dream career.
So put up your feet, grab your iPad or phone and enjoy the sun all the while infusing creativity to kick off your week on the right start. No matter who you are or what you do, your creativity never takes a break, even if your work schedule does.
Just for fun…
