Make space to pursue interests outside your niche. They may lead to fruitful innovations.

Take classes, get a coach, or try creative activities to stimulate neural pathways. Approach with an open mind.
A Renewable Resource
Curiosity creates energy, not drains it. By maintaining a learner's mindset, conscious entrepreneurs tap into an endless renewable resource to uplift their work.
Approach your business and creative process with wide-eyed wonder. Let curiosity guide you to new destinations in service of your higher purpose.
