Many entrepreneurs tell us it’s a challenge to stay motivated. When you work day-in and day-out on the same business in the same category it’s hard to keep the fresh ideas flowing. How do you rejuvenate your self and your creativity to stay in the zone?

SHAKE UP YOUR SPACE.

Most of the time we’re on auto-pilot, always stopping at the same coffee shop, the same take-out place, even taking the same exact route to and from work each day. This kind of familiarity can be comforting – but it can also be the enemy of creativity. Shaking things up can give you big-time business breakthroughs. Seek out new environments – even if it only means changing the layout of your office. Move your desk to another corner of the room; face the window instead of the door or vice versa. For even better results – get inspired by Kiva. This microfinance organization gives employees “No-Meeting Tuesdays.” Workers have the option to work from somewhere else or from home. You can do the same – get out of your office all together and spend a few hours every week working from somewhere new, like a coffee shop, shared work space, local library, or even your own backyard.
