Exploring the Extraordinary
I was surfing around and happened upon a blog by another woman named Donna, called Being Extraordinary Now! Donna describes her blog this way:
Deep inside each of us is a knowing that we are extraordinary. And while sometimes our lives may not reflect that, this site is dedicated to those who are committed to going beyond an ordinary existence – for passionate living now. Join me! Together we can create a community designed to support the extraordinary in each of us and go beyond where we have been before.
She also mentions that she “look for things extraordinary in my world.” Now, honestly, I haven’t had a chance to read many of the blog posts, but the concept itself is…well…extraordinary.
If you can bring out the extraordinary within you (and it’s there, I promise you), then you can create an extraordinary presence online. That extra “oomph” that you transfer from yourself to your site will translate into successful transactions online. I believe that our lives and our personalities directly affect our businesses. If you can learn to bring out the extraordinary qualities with you, you can learn to apply those same qualities to your online business.
If any of you know of any sites that explore the extraordinary, please let me know. I’d love to put together a list and maybe create some exercises that help us to use the extraordinary in our businesses.

I have two sites to recommend:
1. Creative Think by Roger von Oech. He really gets me to think in a different way than my normal processes. Plus, he introduces concepts in ways that no one else would - and he usually uses Russian history and culture to do it. Completely fascinating.
2. Get Fresh Mindsd by Katie Konrath. Katie outright asks her readers to consider alternative solutions to common ideas or products. She never wastes a post!
