Lets change it slightly for you to generate great ideas" you can't create good ideas, if you don't see good ideas. " CM

You must be aware and recognise good ideas, no matter where they comefrom. This is important when the ideas aren't yours. You have to remove yourego. Just because you did not come up with the idea, does not mean it is abad idea and should be ignored or put down.

When you come across a good idea, write it down. Whether it is somethingyou read, heard or saw in action. This opens you up to receiving and seeinggood ideas all around you. You stop the tunnel vision thoughts leading youinto the disused station that was abandoned years ago. You don't want yourbusiness to be abandoned by your customers ?

When you write down these ideas, they seep into your memory. There theystay until they are awakened by a conversation, a problem to solve or achallenge. Thing is, if you don't write them down, they will be lost. Thephysical act of pen on paper is the mechanism which allows the eyes to see and record to memory what you havewritten.

Also, keep an idea journal. Being able to access all these great ideas when you consider your next move, will proveinvaluable in the long term. Someone said, " ideas are the business of the 21st century ". But without recordingthose ideas you won't be able to generate great ideas, for yourself or your business.
