    • 6. The 99 Percent


    The 99 Percent recently won the 15 Annual Webby Awards for best Cultural blog. Behance’s think tank, The 99 Percent focuses on what happens after inspiration. The website is filled with inspiring interviews, action-oriented tips, and tried and true best practices. They also have an annual conference that’s designed to help you turn your ideas into a reality. Held each spring, the conference is a two day event that brings over 400 creative people together to hear accomplished professionals talk about lessons they’ve learned on their journey to success.

    Tip: Founder of 99% Scott Belsky recently wrote a book, called Making Ideas Happen, where he’s collected personal stories from the leaders of top companies like Google, Disney and Zappos, finding out what methods they used to helped propel their companies forward. With practical tips, this book will help anyone in a company, big or small, see what it takes to bring their ideas to fruition.

    Which websites do you visit to be both educated and inspired?
