The latest issue of <\/a>Budget Travel<\/a><\/em> magazine arrived today and as I was browsing through it, a piece on Denver\u2019s LoHi neighborhood caught my eye. One of the businesses they mentioned was especially intriguing.<\/p>\n

Sipping \u2018N Painting<\/a> offers classes for adult amateur painters. For $40, participants receive brushes, paints, and a blank canvas for an instructor-led session designed around a theme. Also included is a glass of wine or beer for those who are so inclined.<\/p>\n

As soon as I saw the story, I hopped over to their website to learn more. Then I sent a link to Connie Hozvicka<\/a>, who did such a fabulous painting workshop at the Jamboree.\u00a0It seemed like an idea that might fit her portfolio of projects.<\/p>\n

Had I not spent time with Connie and seen her in action, I probably wouldn\u2019t have thought to send this idea along to her. Nor would I have alerted Karyn Ruth White<\/a> to Ode<\/em> magazine\u2019s humor issue, if I didn\u2019t know her passions.<\/p>\n

Of course, it works both ways. Almost daily, someone sends me a link to an article or resource or clever business idea that they uncovered and thought I\u2019d want to know about too. I am thrilled and appreciative.<\/p>\n

When I got the hang of Twitter and began spending time there daily, I felt as if I\u2019d just found a volunteer research staff. Hardly a day passes without someone sharing a terrific idea or article that I\u2019d never have uncovered myself.<\/p>\n

Connecting with entrepreneurial thinkers is a critical, but frequently overlooked, key to success. In direct and indirect ways, such folks will enrich your life, expand your horizons, add positive fuel to your dreams.<\/p>\n

As Scott Stratten<\/a> so brilliantly points out in UnMarketing<\/em><\/strong>, building a business today begins with building relationships. And unrestrained sharing of ideas, encouragement and resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
