It\u2019s a hectic\u00a0morning: you\u2019re scheduling meetings with investors, emailing the new marketing assistant, and trying to figure out how to improve the way you run your business. But are you also taking the time to learn new things, so that you can recharge and grow?<\/p>\n

Before you say, \u201cI don\u2019t have time for that,\u201d consider TED Talks. From\u00a011-year-old jazz prodigies<\/a>\u00a0to business advice based on New York City trash<\/a>,\u00a0TED Talks present a range of topics rooted in the concept that great ideas can be shared in 18 minutes or less<\/a>\u2014ideal for busy entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of my favorite talks.<\/p>\n

1. \u201cHow Great Leaders Inspire Action\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s good reason why Simon Sinek\u2019s speech, \u201cHow Great Leaders Inspire Action<\/a>,\u201d is the third most watched video<\/a>\u00a0on TED: he demonstrates the power of \u201cwhy.\u201d Sinek shows how the most influential leaders have achieved great success by connecting their message to a purpose. Using examples like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Steve Jobs, Sinek explains, \u201cPeople don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. \u201cHow to Make Work-Life Balance Work\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

During \u201cHow to Make Work-Life Balance Work<\/a>,\u201d Nigel Marsh asks a very important question that, as an entrepreneur, you need to be able to answer: \u201cWhat does a life well-lived look like?\u201d Marsh argues that focusing on business success, while neglecting other meaningful relationships and aspects of your life, is an unbalanced measure of success.<\/p>\n

3. \u201cThe Fringe Benefits of Failures\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

When J.K. Rowling began to write the story of a magical, orphaned boy who lived in a broom closet, she had no idea of the success that would follow. In \u201cThe Fringe Benefits of Failures<\/a>,\u201d she opens up about the heartbreak of failure as a means for learning how to push yourself to succeed.<\/p>\n

4. \u201cWhat Adults Can Learn from Kids\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In \u201cWhat Adults Can Learn from Kids<\/a>,\u201d Adora Svitak debunks the myth that adults always know better. As you immerse yourself in your business, and the stresses of success and fears of failure kick in, chances are you\u2019ll be playing the role of the responsible adult sooner than you thought. To keep your inner child alive, turn to your team for fresh ideas and input.<\/p>\n

5. \u201cSuccess, Failure and the Drive to Keep Creating\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like J.K. Rowling, Elizabeth Gilbert passionately reinforces the idea that we learn best from failure, which she explains in her talk \u201cSuccess, Failure and the Drive to Keep Creating<\/a>.\u201d When you experience great failure or even great success, it\u2019s important to remember your \u201chome\u201d so that you can return to it and stay focused on your goal. In this case, home is your passion, your craft, and your service.<\/p>\n
