*This pic has nothing to do with the post, I just have my own inspiration poster lol.

I read an awesome article this early today during my morning ritual of having a cup of coffee and a bagel. It was an interview with Rob Dyrdek done by INC. Magazine. I think it’s great to see someone like Rob thrive in the entrepreneurial world because he is what all the young entrepreneurs inspire to be. He is 35 and has created an empire of his own. He has numerous business ventures that go from clothing to toys, to hit television series. He loves what he does and although he is a practical jokester he’s very business savvy and seems to have his hand in everything. The place where the magic goes down is the “Fantasy Factory” which has to be one of the most gnarllly work environments out there. Having a unique work experience allows the creative juices to flow as all of his employees are very relaxed and love coming to work each day. I think that is a very important aspect of business because if you don’t love what you do and aren’t passionate about your projects, the work is obviously going to reflect that. Rob is very inspirational in the fact that he followed his dream of skating but didn’t want to stop there. He took on new challenges and continued to thrive. I love his charisma and he is certainly one of the people I look up to when thinking of where I want to be in 10 years. Here’s a link to the article: http://bit.ly/ddUkRJ
