Ideas Come From The Strangest Places
Like a pearl from an oyster, an idea must have something to start the development process. And it usually isn't related to anything except that it stuck to something in your sub-conscious. There it works and rolls, grows and changes until it becomes a gem of an idea.
My goal is to help you find that odd piece of sand to get you started!
Happy Hunting!Â
A Little Perspectve
Take a day off...an entire weekend is even better. Do no work! No emails, no reading, no phone calls. Nothing! Enjoy your life. Get exercise. Go to a movie. Go to church. Work in your garden. Read a magazine. Read a book. Read the newspaper. Play with your kids. Clean the house. Cook a meal. Volunteer. Paint a picture. Build a birdhouse.Then, on Monday, go back to work. You will see things through a different filter. New ideas come from new input that has sloshed around in your sub-conscious for a while.
Happy Easter!

- Great start on the lens LaVonn. So often our creativity is quashed because we focus only on what we need to accomplish. This leaves little room for the crazy, sideways, world changing idea that just may light up a companies bottom line.
