Where Good Ideas Come From

 I’m speaking from experience here, and Seth Godin has helped me too. 




Time and again I’ve turned to the trusty legal pad when in an idea-generating mode.  I open my mind and start searching for that one golden nugget that I know sooner or later will come through, and I write down every idea – every one.

When trying to name my imprint - Up-Words – I generated over a hundred words and word combinations.   In less than an hour I had my name.  Remember though, I had to wade through a lot of junk and a lot of bad ideas.

And then knowing when you’ve got it – that is instinct. 

Go wading!
