Where Do Business Ideas Come From?

There is always that eureka moment where the light bulb goes on. A lot of the time it comes from paying attention to your everyday life. Is there a problem you are trying to fix? Or something that you can make more efficient? Start keeping a list. I started an idea notebook. I still have one big idea in there right now that came from my grocery shopping experience. As moms we play so many roles...nurse, caretaker, nutritionist, personal shopper, taxi driver, therapist, art teacher, tutor, cook, photographer...the list goes on and on. There are so many places that we can draw inspiration for a business idea. Keep jotting down those ideas until something hits you over the head. Trust me, if you have your eyes open, you will have your aha moment.
