Your Best Business Ideas May Arrive When You Stop Trying to Think of Them

Some of your best business ideas and solutions may arrive when you stop trying so hard to think of them. Neuroscience-based strategist and executive coach Sara Connell, founder of Thought Leader Academy, has studied why moments of clarity often surface while walking, showering, or letting the brain wander.  Author of the forthcoming book, The Download: Train Your Brain. Unlock Your Genius. Create Miracles, Sara instructs her readers and clients on how to generate more of those breakthroughs intentionally. She also addresses a problem many entrepreneurs know well: having more ideas than time to pursue them.  This week, she shares her approach designed to dramatically increase your impact and income: Slow the mental noise, identify which ideas are worth exploring, and turn flashes of inspiration into concrete next steps for business and life. Monday Morning Radio, now in its 15th season, is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.
