I just love new business ideas!  I always have...I've always bought those Entrepreneur Dream magazines... - Make a $100 million with this new home business franchise magazines!   I just love to read about new ideas...to me it always gives me an infusion of energy and enthusiasm. Someone else's creative idea spurs my creativity.  Feeding the creativity batter....

That's why I got inspired by today's email from my friend, Lynne Homrich's, Uptown Scoop daily tip  (think Daily Candy for us working girls!) which featured a cool and hot new business: Groove Gurus.  They are your "Personal Music Stylists"!  I love it!  I work with a lot of stylists...image consultants of every shape and niche, interior stylists/decorators and I haven't had one talk about styling my music! (yet...)

I'm loving writing this blog post and listening to their sample tracks ....definitely grooving my energy!

The hip folks at Groove Gurus will customize playlists for your ipod or PDAD for business uses or personal use.  They dive into your preferences and will customize you a playlist with current music for all your lifestyle and environmental needs:  chilling, cocktails, exercise, commuting, travel. No need to listen to stale boring music again!

Knowing how music can shift people's energy in an instant .....How can you add music to your business to connect with your ideal clients?  Add to your website, blog, update the music on your podcast (are you current...is it engaging to their senses or boring "same 'ole"?)

How can new technology impact your business? 

Can you add an audio interview or audio introduction to your website?

How about adding audio interviews or CD's in your area of expertise?  Have a talented friend "interview" you about a particular subject in your area of expertise and passion.  Record - upload.  Givingaway a free sample of you is a great way to build trust and credibility without a huge time investment.

Are they available for download so your customers can listen on their own time instead of being tied to the computer listening online?

It's really easy to get started with audio. I use Audio ACrobat.  You can call and record yourself speaking and then pop the link on your website or blog.  It's that easy and only $19 a month - it's a marketing bargain!

I use it to record all my teleclasses and seminars. (checkout the next Joyful Business Success Strategy Teleseminar and see what I mean) I have each transcribed and highlight the "golden nuggets" -

• what people love about the Joyful Business Guide tools,
• potential testimonials,
• ideas for future products based on what people say they need,
• and I get loads of ideas for articles and blog posts listening to their common questions and interests.

I also use Audio Acrobat for my Joyful Business podcast interviews. I interview Joyful Business  Entrepreneurs for short 20 minute interviews about creativity, passion and joy.  We talk and record over the phone and a few minutes after we hang up the recording is posted online ready for me to use.

Have fun today!
