Hey Anita — This is Dave Murray … I read your recommendation (I use Google Alerts) … thanks for the plug. When I wrote my book I had a debate with my publisher on whether to include the chapter on the “subconscious” (they weren't sure if it was right for a business book).

Barney, that time when you're not thinking consciously but letting your subconscious mind work is so crucial to new ideas. There's a good book by David Murray called Borrowing Brilliance that goes into some detail about this process of letting the subconscious develop brilliant ideas — well worth reading.

Hope all is well with you…

Barney,

As I posted on BizSugar:

SPECTACULAR, insightful, quintessential article!

If you told me at this moment to come up with my next blog posting I would, well...freeze! Can't work under that pressure.

Yet later on after an hour of the evening news, a walk with my dog in the lovely forest which adjoins our apartment, dinner with my wife and listening to some Motown, jazz, blues and classic rock with a pint of Guinness in my hand while I watch another sun set on this beautiful earth of ours...my mind will be full of ideas.

You hit the nail on the head, ideas come not from brainstorming but from listening, watching, observing, relaxing and letting them flow naturally.

Great Job Barney!
