I can't recall the last time I had a "I have this idea, wouldn't it be cool if" moment. I have definitely gotten into a daily rut no doubt about it. I like the ideas you put forth about how to achiever or try to achieve bigger ideas. I would throw into the mix: relaxation techniques, yoga, meditation. I find that create processes flow better when I am not trying to concentrate on them. Make sense? Sometimes just a simple walk in the park on a cloudy day, or sunny day a the beach - inspiration is everywhere, you just have to be looking for it. <br> :) Wow, what excellent thought process, advice and insightful questions rolled into one article.

I've always been a pop art junkie, trend watcher (not follower), magazine fanatic, constant history & culture student, yoga lover, travel seeker, detail freak, curious to technology, novice artist (writing, music, painting and more) and I have pretty fabulous design instincts. I think it's the combo of all these things that I possessed since birth that made me a good marketer, not that marketing taught me how to be these things.

So, my eyes are constantly open for new things to create a spark in me, and I always put myself in my ideal customer's skin at the end of the day to be sure that the big ideas are real and that I've fulfilled the customer's needs and wants. It's also about keeping it simple and being open to any idea – I tend to just take a blank piece of paper into random, different, old and new physical environments until that idea hits. Word association is great too.
