Although I'm not a designer or have any design abilities, I'm almost obsessed with design related blogs. They're not only pictures for great eye candy, but there are a lot of insightful articles about crafty people. These crafty people are usually independent designers and entrepreneurs themselves who share and nurture small business communities.
One design blog I've followed over the years is Design*Sponge. They have a category called "biz ladies" which I've been following and this particular article is an example of how you can get useful information and insight from anywhere, even your non-business related hobbies.
This article advises users on how to look for business advisors and what to look for in a business advisor. Check it out and always keep open to inspiration that can come from anywhere.
