If you are going to spend time hangin’ out working in your office or at your desk… it should be a comfortable place to sit. You want to feel inspired with you’re sitting there and doing your thing.
I wanted to share with you the new space that I have for myself. I still have my home office, but I wanted to have some space outside of the house as well. So I shot a video sharing with you a few of the things I’ve set up for myself there that inspire me to create my magic:)
Check out the video:

P.S. Is your workspace a comfortable place to hang? If not, WHY not?

Thanks Eric! I’m currently in a transition/moving process so this is a great reminder of having a good space to work and create that rings of prosperity!
Hey Michele,
The moving process is fun… excited for you!
Hey Eric,
I completely agree with what you are saying in your video. Having a creative and good-feeling workspace is essential to getting in the flow and keeping a positive mindframe – BTW love the million dollar check idea!
I just recorded a video for a new post on my blog about getting out of the office and working in different spaces to inspire yourself (I worked from my yard in sunny Florida yesterday).
In my home office I have a cork board above my desk with a short passage called “Master the Art of Living” which I love as well as some photos of things I am in the process of attracting into my life. I also have some wonderful drawing my 2.5 year old son made for me (always fills me with joy).
On the other wall next to me hangs my Ukulele so that I am reminded to take it down and strum or play it during the day.
Thanks for the tour of your office and sharing your thoughts!
Hey Phil!
You’ve got some cool stuff in the
office to keep yourself inspired.
I bet the pic from your son is one
of the best of them… I stopped by
your blog. You’ve got some great
value there buddy!
Thanks for coming by today:)
Peace Eric, i signed up for your 7 day course, I have to say, its pretty cool! very basic information, however, you have a very nice easy going & simple way about communicating… i like this. not a lot of fluff & basic keys to follow. awesome….
I also noticed Alicia on the ilearn site….! soo cool, we met @ the wealth builders event last year, a week right before I donated one of my kidneys to my fiance..! we had some great conversations & shes a really swell sis..!
I have lots of reading material to inspire me when I’m at my studio in bushwick brooklyn, alongside of some cool vinyl toys, & in my home workspace, on my 22 inch monitor, I have had a little fortune (yes, from a cookie) that says, “you’re at that critical point. Make that last push”.
I think that says it all, motivation to complete, complete, complete…… TO BE COMPLETE!
thanks again for the inspo.

Hey Aaron,
Thanks for your share. Yea, the info in my
course is a lot of simple and easy to do stuff.
Everyone is always looking for the HARD difficult
things… they think if they don’t understand it then
it must be good.
It’s the other way around. Coach Wooden always
taught his team the basics… over and over again!
I remember meeting you… we all had lunch at the
cafe. Great to hear all is well with you bro!
Eric,
Long time no see…
I used to have my computer in my den and it’s a bit dark in there so I decided to move my office to the worst and best place of the house… the family room/ kitchen (it’s all one big room).
I keep my dog around and anyone that walks by is able to see what I’m doing so it helps me be more authentic and really share the best I’ve got to offer.
Thanks for the video,

Hey Rose,
Yea… Me too! Go write yourself
one and put it in front of your computer:)
Hi Eric, Yep , I am still trying to create a comfortable atmosphere in my office. When I have the chance to mix it up a bit… It is all over. I am happiest when I can see the top of my desk at the end of the day… LOL Seems like a never ending battle. But when it is neat… I shine.
Hey Robert,
Keep on the path of creating a comfortable
space to work in.. makes a huge difference!
Keep shining:)
Hey Eric
Great post. Congrats on the new office space, it looks nice there with a great picture window. I love to be able to look outside and connect with the external world when I am brainstorming new ideas, so windows connecting me to the outdoors are extremely important to my ability to be productive. I love the check idea. That is fantastic, I do something similar – I post reminders of my “why” in different locations of my work space, my home, my car, everywhere I look on a regular basis. It helps keep me focused on what I’m doing and why I’m doing it.
Thanks for this great post my friend.
Krista
Hey Krista,
Yea, the big window is awesome. I love
being able to look out while I’m in the creative
stage of a project.
Keep those WHY’s big and bright!
Awesome video bro! Nice shout out your lovely sis, me
I love that picture of ua! Always brings a smile to my face. Glad I am there by your side everyday while you are at work. I have my picture frame you made for me of daddy with that awesome poem. I always glance over at him and that picture brings warmth and meaning to my office. I haven’t put up a lot of personal pics since I am a counselor and try to keep my life seperate, but I have up a good amount of pics and reminders of my life. I love you bro and keep on rockin on with your dream 
Hey Jilly,
Thanks my beautiful sister… you are the BEST!
I always love to have that pic of you on my desk,
giving you the life you truly desire is one of my BIG
WHY”s of why I do what I do.
So happy you have that frame box of daddy’s stuff
that I had made you in your work space.
Love you Jilly!
Your work environment is very important to
how the overall presentation of the work is
presented. If you are in an atmosphere where
the mood is not good, it will dramatically effect
your overall work
Donny Gamble´s last blog ..Negative Factors to Account for When Building Links
Right on Donny!
I’m a big believer in that. When you feel
good… good things come your way. So I
like to have things around that cause me
to focus on good thoughts.
Thanks for the share buddy!
you have some great things in your office
its great to have a good environment to work in
mine is not too great at the moment, but I am planning to improve it
Jean,
Thanks for stoppin’ by. It will make a
big difference for you when you have a
few things around that make you focus on
what you want…
Speak soon Jean!
As always, you have some great advice and wisdom to share Eric!
Creating a speciel personal environment to work in is definitely something to recommend. Of course it all depends on what kind of house or office you have but one should always try to make a great working atmosphere.
Keep on rocking bro!

Thanks Jon!
I always love to share what is going
on in my life… you never know how it
will help others:)
Hi Eric,
What a neat post! Was that L.I. Train behind you? =) just wondering.
My office space:
I have a meditation stone on my desk that says, “clarity” Also a check just like you. I have 2 different vision boards on the left side of my wall. Contributions I want to make, goals I look forward to do this year, Character I want to be (being a better mom, leader, visionary, etc) I also have a separate vision board for my husbands and our goals for our son before he turns 5yrs old. Also I have images of things that makes me happy. Laughter is a BIG PART in my life. So my Office Space is feng shui & light.
I love how you set an Intention each and everyday and read T.Harv Ecker cards. And your declaration of your love for your sis is INCREDIBLE! It shows on all the work you do from your blog, tribe, your wall posts on FB/twitter, to your relationship with your baby sister how MUCH you really do appreciate everyone around you and loves life so much.
Thanks for the great share Eric

Yea, that’s the LIRR in the video:)
So good to hear that you have some
great stuff within your work space. It
really makes a huge difference.
Thanks for sharing here in the community.
I always love to hear from you… big smiles!
Hey Eric,
Great video as always. You definitely seem like you believe in what you preach and are inspirational as always. I hope you do get to cash that check one day. What a great way to practice those expectations.
Thanks Stefan!
I will be cashing that check
very soon… keep expecting
GOOD things to come ur way:)
Hi Eric, I can ABSOLUTELY say with definitive conviction that I have the most OPTIMAL workspace!
When I first moved, my FIRST priority was to build an office that was totally efficient and conducive to working loooong hours at my desk..
I designed and built an office that is within swivel distance to everything– my printer, files, books/shelves, pictues and cabinets. I love it and it was the best investment I ever made!
When we have parties, Jon (my fiance) shows everyone his wine collection and I show everyone my office.
I love your post because I strongly feel that having an efficient, organized, and \"within SWIVEL distance is so critcial! Awesome post
Hey Laura,
Swivel distance… love it! Keep
showing off that workplace girl:)
Thank you for sharing here in
the community… appreciate it!
Hey Buddie
I LOVE YOUR STUFF!!! you are such an inspiration to me !! Im completely honored to have you in my life!!

Hey: Working in a messy office with things unorganized slows you down
Hey Arlan,
It def does… when my desk is
messy, I know my head is too:)
Keep it clean buddy!
Great post and video Eric! Having a place to call your own workplace is a great thing to have and especially if it is done up right like you suggested!
Michael Feil´s last blog ..It’s OK To Dream But…
Hey Mikey Mike…
Thanks for the good words bro! It
really is important to have a workspace
that makes you want to be there and be
creative.
Keep rockin’ buddy…
How cool to come here and read this today. My goal for today is to have a completely organized work space. How much of our time gets wasted by not being able to find what we are looking for? How many great ideas get passed by because our disorganization creates a feeling of inadequacy? If you wake up in the morning and walk into a clean and comfortable workspace you are immediately ready to work. You have the feeling of being able to take on the world!
Another great blog Eric!
Hey Cyndi,
It’s funny how the Universe works
out… in perfect time all the time
A cleans space makes for clean thoughts,
that’s how I see it. Thanks for sharing!
You are spot on Eric!
I spent several years in a setting that was cold, no windows and unfriendly. Why? I didn’t know what I wanted nor did I have any goals. It’s hard to get anywhere in life when you have nothing to look forward to.
Changing my workspace meant changing my life and I Founded a company called Connecting, which has gone global. My workspace now includes plenty of windows, several desks for help, and wonderful smells.
I love it!
Truly it can change your perspective as you suggest.

Hey Eric!
I love having a light and airy office! Surrounding yourself with *happy* things and thoughts makes you that much more productive! I think I’m going to go frame and hang some more things in my office after watching your video.
Keep rockin!

Hi Eric,
Thanks for this post. I’m the type of the person that absolutely loves having good surroundings. I’m always looking for new ways to decorate my places and stuff.
A couple things I have on my desk (out of the million cluttered things – which ARE organized though) … are …
1. a picture of Jesus
2. some family pictures (a special one of my mom because she has always been there for me) along with a picture of the Founder or my favorite charity, St. Jude’s Children Hospital. it puts me in touch with great thinkers and people “in black and white” of times past. Below that it says “Sometimes God answers our prayers one day at a time.” I also have some memorabilia from one of the first music artists I ever represented … helps me to remember “where” I started out.)
3. I have a lot of things that mean a lot to me. Its important just like you say.
I noticed it looked like you had a train going by in the background, out your window. LOL, I thought that was pretty cool.
Blessings,
Curt

Hey Curtis,
Thanks for sharing what you have in
your workspace to inspire you. It’s
important to keep those things fresh
in your mind.
Yea, that was the LIRR (Long Island
Railroad) going by in the video. Pretty
cool to watch it at night as it cruises on
by.
Thanks for the share my friend:)
Hey Eric: We work so much with our minds and connecting with people. Therefore your points about our workspace is cool. Our energy that flows affects our thoughts and actions, so create for you self such a place. Plants and water and fish puts me in a calm place where my mind can flow. The disorganization and chaos of my space reflects my state of mind in what I’m doing and learning right now. Thanks
Your friend,
Arlan
