Last night's Wonderful Women meeting was about inspiration people. I am a big believer in surrounding yourself with positive people and things that keep you motivated. This may be your friends, work colleagues, the books you read, the tv you watch - why allow the negative attitudes of others to bring you down?

The #wwmoob had been challenged to research up to 3 people who inspire them. I hadn't told them they had to be women, or business related, just inspiring.

Here are the 22 inspiration people we chose (in no particular order):

Louise Hay
Sarah Beeny
Helena Rubenstein
Lily's Kitchen
Gabby Young
Now Voyager
What Katy Did
The Papered Parlour
Candy Anthony
Imogen Heap
Ann Kroeber
Lady Gaga
Sarah Tremellen (Bravissimo)
Crying Out Loud
Zainab Salbi
Elsie Larson (A Beautiful Mess)
Henrik Vibskov
The Olsen Twins
Lily Cole
Rachel Galley
Gala Darling
Howard Schultz

We talked about the achievements, personality traits or choices that these people (or businesses) have made, and how we can learn from them (or be inspired by them).

I love how varied and mixed this list is, yet many of the people shared an outlook, or a way of working.

Who inspires you?
