Staying Inspired: Injecting New Life into Your Business

Have you ever experienced a breakthrough in solving a problem when you least expected it, during a walk on the beach or an after-work run? Have you noticed that you're most creative when on vacation or falling asleep?

The health and wellness field is hotter than ever. The good news: more and more people, including a youthful generation, are becoming aware of the importance of their body and mind connection. Body awareness is on the radar of a growing population! The bad news? More competition than ever in a field that is ever-expanding.

It sometimes feels maddening to try and cut through the clutter of fitness fads and diet trends, and working longer and harder seems to be the solution for many small, new businesses. But as Dan Pink points out in this incredible Ted Talk, "The Puzzle of Motivation," working longer and harder on any project, especially one that takes creativity and innovation, is not always the best idea.

What if you took a few hours a week, a month, to work on a creative project, even if it's devoid of a marketing plan or place in your current business? Studies show that when big companies give their workers creative freedom like this, problems are solved, new ideas are created, and incredible products emerge. 

As much as we want our clients to experience our expertise and help others get out of pain, working smarter is indeed more valuable than working harder.

"I have been studying Aston for two years now and it has made a tremendous difference in the quality of my life as well as with my Pilates clients. [This training] has interfaced with my training beautifully. My visual assessment skills have become more efficient and accurate while the client is moving and at rest. Continuing to assess the movement patterns throughout the workout helps me to change that pattern in the whole body for overall improvement." — Sarah Irwin, Certified Pilates
Instructor
 
"In 2008, I received my Aston Pilates certification. In Aston Pilates, the instructor uses visual and muscle tension assessment to select appropriate flexibility and strengthening exercises for each individual. The knowledge gained in these Aston Pilates session and classes can give an individual a lifetime of empowerment, comfort, and strength. — Tiina Mantula, Certified Pilates Instructor
