This blog was created to provide a place for people, who don't work in design-focussed businesses and industries, to come and find inspiration. To open the door to another world, if only for a moment, with the intention of being exposed to something outside of their known world, a glimpse into another that may inspire a creative idea or help with a problem.

Carmina Perez, creator of the blog
Mogulette-in-the-making lives in the world of entrepreneurship. Not a traditionally design-driven world and yet she is continually coming up with inspiring and creative content. So, I asked her a few questions about how she finds creativity in the world.

How do you keep up your relentless pursuit of providing support and resources to entrepreneurs? I'm passionate about new media and web 2.0 as they apply to building a business so I regularly read
Inc.,
Entrepreneur,
NY Enterprise Report. I also follow a sampling of blogs on my RSS reader, among them
Small Business Trends,
BizSugar,
How To Change the World. I also talk to entrepreneurs directly, I find them very inspirational. And lastly I attend conferences to make sure I’m plugged in.
How do you put the spark back into your work when you are feeling stuck or uninspired?To move out of this mindset is no easy feat, but luckily I've learned a few tricks that help me snap out of it. One is to call a trusted friend, share my fears and ask for feedback.
I also check in regularly with my "action partners" - colleagues that have businesses they want to grow just like me.
That forces me to include others in my decisions and not figure things out by myself.
Having others there to support and encourage me is essential.
What inspires you outside of the business world?My business is my creation - it's my blank canvas, which is why I'm so drawn to artists and their creative process. I especially like modern and contemporary art -
Frida Kahlo,
Jackson Pollock,
Mark Rothko - I see how these ground breaking pioneers followed their gut and painted what they felt, even when others couldn't appreciate it. They didn't get discouraged by their struggle. They kept working because that was their purpose in life. In my business I feel I need to be equally as fearless about what I want, about my vision, and to pursue it purposefully and without judgment. A beautiful building, a great piece of music, a fire red sunset - they all give me a sense of awe, an appreciation of life, of being on this earth. A good book will stay with me long after I've read its last pages, and I love when I'm transported by a good movie.
Who inspires you? My favorites are John Jantsch (
Duct Tape Marketing), and Guy Kawasaki (How To Change The World). John is an author, publisher and consultant, while Guy is a venture capitalist and author. They are so successful at what they do and make it seem effortless.
What was your last creative moment?Yesterday, while jogging! I came up with a creative campaign idea to pitch one of my sponsors.
