I'd love to hear from you all: 1) Who are the people you find inspiration from? 2) Is there someone whose work ethic or lifestyle you admire and why? 3) Are there specific skills you want to pick up from someone you follow? Let's share our sources of inspiration and maybe even discover new ones from each other!

My grandpa, because I taught me so many important lessons in life and in business as well! He is always very honest, keeps his word and respects a manager the same as everyone else who works in a company

@julia_engelsmann I remember when I was 5 years old, many people liked to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I always told them, 'I want to be a good person,' because I really had no other specific answer. Now I see that this is a huge thing to become a really good person. Your grandpa for sure achieved it! Thanks for sharing!

I am inspired by how people strive to help people with their products and solve their problems.

I find inspiration from individuals who consistently demonstrate kindness, integrity, and discipline.

@gyrusinczky, I like your tagline. Yes, life should be experienced, not expended 😊

@herwig_kusatz Thanks.🙂 I'm into philosophy and writing so I spend a lot of time contemplating life while observing the world around me during my travels. So one day this thought popped into my mind after realizing most people spend their entire lifetime chasing things that give no actual value to their lives while missing out on many valuable experiences that would bring lasting joy to them and allow them to focus on what truly matters in life.

@herwig_kusatz Thanks! I appreciate your kind words. I launched my blog back in March, and I also share my writings on Medium. Hopefully, my thoughts will reach many people out there who might benefit from my insights and thoughts and also inspire them to live with less, listen more, humble themselves, prioritize needs over wants, and let compassion be their guide in a chaotic world where sadly narcissism, exclusion, and greed are becoming more and more influential.

1) Anyone who has the guts to actually grind, put on on headphones and put in the work. 2) @daniel_bukac actually. He's able to sit down and hack until it's done. From the 'big ones' it's Elon Musk, Hans Zimmer, Christopher Nolan, Jake Gyllenhaal. Great people pursuing their passion and putting in the work. 3) Uninterrupted focus for more hours while being able to take the time off when the work is done.

Thank you for sharing! I see that you admire the important skill of getting things done and staying focused. If you don't mind, I would like to recommend a very nice book, "Deep Work" by Cal Newport. It has helped me get more things done in a day without making my schedule 12 hours long haha. If you don't feel like reading, there is also a Huberman podcast featuring Cal Newport discussing this topic.

I find inspiration from Elon Musk for his relentless pursuit of innovation and his ability to think big and execute. His work ethic and determination to solve complex problems, even in the face of adversity, is something I greatly admire.

I find inspiration from Satya Nadella's leadership at Microsoft, transforming the company culture to be more innovative, empathetic, and growth-oriented. His focus on continuous learning, empowering others, and embracing change resonates with me as an entrepreneur.

Honestly, I inspire myself. Others around me can appreciate my work, and they do. But true inspiration is within. I admire many people, but many have no direct connection with me to inspire me on a personal basis. To me, inspiration is the fuel that leads to happiness, and happiness is always within.
