I’m sure at some point in your life; you have awaken from a dead sleep, scurried to your office or kitchen to grab a notepad and pen, and wrote down something inspirational.

You spent all day trying to come up with ideas, but nothing worth keeping. Yet, at the moment when you are not thinking about anything and your mind is clear, it hits you like a ton of bricks!

Is this just by chance? Or does it go a little deeper, to the point of phenomenon? One theory I have is that when the day is done, you have finally started to wind down, and are no longer thinking about problems at work or with your family. At this point, perhaps when you are lying in bed about to fall asleep, your mind is perceptive to all things in the universe.

You no longer have bias, or bad past experiences to cloud your thought process. Your mind is completely clear and ready to take in information. This is usually when some of your best ideas occur.

Another theory is that you could be experiencing E.S.P.(extra sensory perception). This theory to me is very realistic; you can easily have a hyper-sensitivity or pick up on something in your environment that other people don’t see or hear.

Because your mind is free to any and all information, you are able to see and experience things around you from a different view point. This type of “sixth sense” is obviously not something that everyone has.

That’s not to say that we all, to some degree couldn’t develop this natural ability that we all possess. Some people like to call this “intuition”. Have you ever suddenly had a thought that your phone was going to ring? Somehow, you knew someone was about to call you?

This has happened to me on many occasions, but not just about my phone ringing. I once had a powerful thought come over me while I was driving at night, down a rural two lane road, that I needed to slow down, even though I was only driving 55mph. So I did slow down, to about 40mph. About ten seconds later, there were literally thirty cows right on the highway!

Some people would dismiss this as some type of coincidence, but I know it was much more than that. I have read that women have more of this natural ability that men do. This is one of the reasons why your business should always have diversity. All people have some unique skill or specialized area that no one else has.

Meditation is also a technique that can bring out more of your natural ability to see things that under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t. It relaxes your mind, relieves stress, and has many other benefits that are too long to list.

You must approach your business with an open mind and consider all things and ideas that people have, regardless of how absurd they seem to you. Without thinking “outside the box”, your success will be very limited.

Set yourself up a daily routine that includes at least 15 minutes of meditation per day, and any other technique that you have not introduced to your daily program. This will trigger fresh actions and thoughts.

By doing different things on a daily basis, you come up with all new ideas that you have had trouble with before. If you go through the same actions each and every day, you tend to wear a groove that you follow and never get out of.

A train travels down the same track and the same path, going from point A to point B. Is this how you want to develop your business? While you probably will have moderate success doing this, it will limit your potential.

In summary, change up parts of your routine, meditate to induce new thoughts, be more perceptive to other people’s ideas, and keep your notepad by your bedside to prepare for those late night flashes of genius.

A Quick Note From The Publisher... If you like the article above, you may be interested in the following article which is also related to Brainpower... Concept Combination For Creative Problem Solving There are many creative problem solving techniques used by inventors to come up with new solutions to old problems. For sheer innovation, though, it's hard to beat the technique of concept-combination. Just start combining ideas and things, and voila, you're having fun - and maybe creating something new. Innovation or Inovation? Combining the concept of search engine misspellings with article writing gave me "inovation." What good is that? Well, now that I've used the misspelled word twice, the thousand people every month that type "inovation" into search engines can find this article. "Search engine" combined with "people," could lead to the first search engine devoted entirely to information on individuals. "People" plus "advertising" might lead to the first large-scale paid-tatoo-placement campaign. Want a monthly stipend for having a Coke logo on your forehead? Much of the innovation you see in the business world is nothing more than combining existing ideas. For a ton of new business ideas, just combine the concept of "home delivery" with almost anything. Parties, tax preparers, rental swimming pools? Would people pay to have these things delivered? Using Creative Problem Solving Techniques In the process of innovation, you need to be careful not to stifle creativity. This means allowing ideas to come without judging them at first. It also means using techniques only as tools, not as a rules. If your mind goes off on a creative tangent - let it. Randomly combining things is a great mental exercise when you're driving or daydreaming. A boat and a bicycle becomes a waterski-bike that glides across the lake using pedal-power. Combining stock-trading and McDonalds has you imagining the selling of stocks and bonds at drive through windows. For more...
