4. Participate in an activity that flies in the face of your beliefs. Nothing stirs the pot like participating in some function where you're the minority -- where there are few others who believe what you believe or hold the values that you hold. Be patient, and permit those you meet to fully express their point of view. You never know -- you might actually learn something, or better yet, get an idea or inspiration to propel yourself forward.

5. Attend an event that scares you. I recently enrolled in a coaching program where the coach is speaking about several subjects that scare me, as these subjects are areas in which I need a great deal of improvement. However, I know that in order for me to succeed, I need to follow her model, as she's already manifested great success by using it. I'm still completely resisting several of the strategies (screaming loudly, in fact), but that's ok, as I know that when I'm truly ready, I'll quickly move forward to implementation.

Acknowledge your need for ongoing creativity and innovation as an online business owner. Sometimes the change you desire may be painless, while in other cases you might find yourself kicking and screaming all the way, yet willing to take the chance to move yourself forward. In my experience, the louder you resist, the more profound the change. Are you ready to jump?
