Submitted by Sabina Hitchen on Mon, 2011-11-14 11:17 | 0 Comments

Music is a powerful thing. Just like athletes gear up for big sporting events by playing certain songs, entrepreneurs often gear up for their days and weeks with specific songs that make them feel extra motivated, positive, pumped and unstoppable. Every Monday we bring you a new "guest DJ" on the Motivation Mix Monday decks who shares his or her motivation set list. This week as a special treat we're presenting our first "Member Mash Up", sharing some of our very own Tin Shingle members and the songs that help them carry on. Perhaps some are similar to yours, perhaps you'll discover a few new tunes to add to your Monday morning set list. Get to know them below!

As entrepreneurs we are often marching to the beat of our own drummer or a one man (or woman) band, and that can take a lot of energy, faith, hope and motivation. So use these tunes as an extra injection of just that, and when all else seems to be bringing you down, take a break and as Gaga would say....Just Dance!

(Editor note: phew! with all Dawn does she needs a few songs to keep going!)

1. Circus > Britney Spears
I know it's Britney, but the lyrics just get me every time: "There's only two types of people in the world The ones that entertain and the ones that observe, Well baby, I'm a put-on-a-show kind of girl, Don't like the backseat, gotta be first."

2 . Sun is Up > Inna
It totally puts me in a good mood and gets me energized for the day.

3. Here I am > David Morales
One of those songs that makes me feel happy, and helps me visualize my next steps.

I get motivated when I hear the song because the words and the beat of the music inspire me to keep going and get excited to be Dynamite in my day!!

The reggae beat gives me a feeling of the islands. A 3 minute vacation to Jamaica....

8. I can’t get no sleep > Faithless
Listen to the track and you will understand it. The crescendo is enough to keep you going and remind you to stay awake since you probably didn’t sleep anyway.
