Where do you think ideas come from? Good question.  We believe that ideas are pretty much generated freely by a benevolent Universe -- and that they're part of creation.  We also believe that the ideas are for our use.  Learning how to grab onto these ideas is the key.  DWG's experience has always been that the best way to get (and keep) ideas is by developing a conscious awareness of their existence.  Keep your ears and eyes open always and, when you experience an idea, jot it down in a manner that will help you remember it.  Ideas are often fleeting and sometimes you may only have one chance to save  them.

It's easy in today's world to worry about that.  But we at DWG have two very important things to say in this regard: An idea is merely the initial germ of a concept -- a spark, if you will -- combined with the creative DNA some individual adds.  The spark becomes more personal as a result of an individual's spin on or flavor added to the brilliant spark.  Generosity with ideas and creativity (this includes not worrying about someone stealing your ideas) leads to even more brilliant ideas.
