Entrepreneur was read every month when it came in, cover to cover for the first year I subscribed to it. For the past year all of these magazines have all been piling up next to my desk, unread and unopened. Why do I still subscribe? To stimulate my brain for ideas, to relax, and motivate myself. Obviously, if these magazines have been piling up next to my desk I they really haven&#8217;t been serving their purpose.</p>
<p>So Sunday, instead of sitting in front of the computer all day I decided to read through the Inc 500 issue that I received in the mail not too long ago. I received this subscription free from <a title="E-rewards" href="http://www.e-rewards.com/home.do" target="_blank">e-rewards</a> with points that I had earned taking surveys. I don&#8217;t remember how many rewards this subscription was, but it only cost me a little time. Seeing all of these fairly young companies making it always great motivation for me; if these people can do it, then I can do it, everyone has to start somewhere.</p>
<p><span id="more-120"></span></p>
<p>An extremely motivating article that I read was the story of Stoneybrook Farms. An organic yogurt producer who went organic before it was en-vogue. This story was not written from the owner&#8217;s point of view, but from the wife&#8217;s POV. As I was reading the story, I was wondering if Q often feels the same way this woman did when thinking about my many online business ventures. I asked him to read it when he had a second, but I don&#8217;t think he will. I can&#8217;t find a link to the article, but if you get a hold of the Inc 500 issue, it&#8217;s worth the 20 minute read. Especially if you are a spouse of an entrepreneur.</p>
<p>Will a company I start every make it to the Inc 500 list? I hope so. If not, having 1/2 of the success these companies and entrepreneurs have would be quite the accomplishment and it would get me on the <a title="Inc 5000 List" href="http://www.inc.com/inc5000/" target="_blank">Inc 5000 list</a> <img src='http://downonourluck.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Do you read anything offline to relax? Is it business related or personal?</p>
