Standing on the porch of a vacation home overlooking the waves rolling in, it’s easy to let your mind wander.  Staring in awe at the ocean, stuck in contemplation, inspiration seems to flow from such natural beauty.  Jonathan Fields maintains a blog that provides strategies and conversations for life and business.  After spending some time on the Outer Banks last week, he was able to find some inspiration from the surf. 

Watching the surfers revealed a connection between surfing, business, and life in general.
