Do I twitter? Not on purpose.
What energizes me? My dog, Barnaby.
-Jon. B

No on the Twitter – Tried it but no time for another social site to update.

As for the other question, the answer is simple…. My children

Corny answer but the truth… I see their get up and go energy, their innocence, adventure and unbridled freedoms of youth and I become intoxicated by it, energized by it.

A few times, but don’t really get it.
Going 200km and hour on my motorbike on the highway. Closing a big deal. Skateboarding down steep hills. Technology innovations that breed efficiencies in my manufacturing plant. World Travel!!! Entrepreneurs Organization! ……

Snow Storms
-Jim D

Twitter? No but meaning to get on it.

Energizes me? The smell right after the rain. Driving on winding highway, shifting along with every curve, windows open, music in the background. Any live concert, even better if it’s one of my favorite bands at the Amphitheatre. I could keep going all day on this subject…….

You caught me! I am writing with one eye open! First thing I read is your post, like my daily news!

1) I have a Twitter account, I do not tweet.

2) People energize me, my husband, my family, my friends. Music gets me revved up, often times I dance and sing along. Good food shared with good company makes me happy=energized. A beautiful day, the ocean, being outdoors. Exercise also does it, sometimes praying recharges me. A good story, a joke that makes me laugh, kind words. Every day I wake up and there are so many things that make me happy and add energy, I like to focus on those.

Racecars. not the thought of driving them but actually strapping in and dropping the clutch!
-Greg P

Twitter: yes
Energizes me: spending time with Mom, listening to others in their time of need.
-Lisa B

And…
What energizes you? coffee, and my 8 & 10 year old boys, sales results, groovy new shoes.
-Janet T

Nope…not a twitterer.

And I’m energized by people who demand more of themselves than settling for the status quo. It can in regards to health, to career goals, to relationships…all those people who are not satisfied to ’sit and wait’ for life to occur!

The notion of future prosperity “things will be even better tomorrow” is what energizes me.

I feel completely fueled in nature, especially by the water. Calm, creative, and focused. Untouchable.
-Laura G

The thought of not reaching my full potential.

What energizes me:
Time – the early morning hours before work, family or anything can exert their influence on you.

Questions – whether from friends, clients, books/movies – anything to get you to consider, explain, decide and defend your thoughts or opinions.

Weather – the beginning of each season is a remarkably energizing time – each season (even winter) is associated with different emotions. Fall, beginning of something new (and football); Winter ,the end of another year, holidays, family; Spring, the ultimate energizer, coming out of the winter cocoon; Summer, the feeling of having earned the most enjoyable time of the year (for any non-winter dwelling readers trust me, surviving the Toronto winter is cause for celebration)

Fitness – no better feeling than a shower, meal or beer that’s been earned.

Friends and family, college football/basketball, music
-Jeff K

Brainstorming ideas on napkins while riding in a high speed train between Boston and NYC or while in Europe. It allows me to clear my head away from the constant overload of data hitting me from all sides daily and to dream up new ideas about business and life.
-John T

Sleeping through thunder and lightening
The exhilarating feeling after a kickass run, demanding squash match, or sole sucking boxing class.
Conversation with friends and colleagues that sparks innovative ideas.
Creating the magical moments that define your life with friends and family.
Sitting back and contemplating all you are grateful for….life is grand!!
Having the confidence to inspire others to self discover their own greatness.
Waking up at 5am, knowing there are very few using this amazing time, that stands still to accomplish greatness.
Some catchy tunes…and of course Bon Jovi – livin on a prayer!
