Greetings Wild Web People! Before we all get immersed in web marketing-isms like ROI, SEO, SEM, PPC, and a slew of other acronyms (that make those of us in the land of web marketing geeky), I want to bring us all back to the basics for a minute…
Remember……marketing begins with inspiration!
This blog post was inspired by two inspire-savvy professionals that touched me last weekend:
1. Misty Gibbs of www.myinspirationlounge.com
My Inspiration Lounge is a reflection of everything that Misty loves and and wants to do in life. She created an inspirational resource to inspire, inform and help us make the impossible — possible. Her website began with an inspiration…she took the critical step and made her inspiration a reality, now serving thousands of women and securing her a Wild Web Woman stamp of approval as a WMT Positive Web Marketing Role Model.
Inspiration - Life meets Art
2. Lori Lipsman - Inspiring and Inspired Artist.
I stumbled upon her artwork at LA Artcore, Union Center. The photo to the left was a photograph of a plant married with a stunning paper ribbon running through it. Inspiration was in action.
I continued to walk the gallery and view Lori Lipsman’s amazing artwork. We always hear the saying, “life imitates art” but I was picking up was “life inspires art”
Successful marketers find inspiration to perfect their personal marketing art.
Get Marketing Inspiration!
Lori’s inspiration manifested into amazing paintings, some large, some small, some a melange of paper ribbons married together to produce brilliant works of art that would have never happened without that bit of inspiration!
Beginning is 50% of a creative process (ok, maybe more) INSPIRATION is what gives us that fire in our bellies to begin.
Listen to your heart before your mind and allow yourself to be creative - perfect your personal marketing art…we all have it, TAP IT!

What a great post to kick-off the week and get us all inspire-y! You do have to follow your heart and never give into the doubt that will come up a million times! This reminded Lorrie how important it is to “always find time” to look for inspiration that will fuel your ideas….inspiration and brilliant ideas will not come from burned out souls. Have an amazing week!
