I tossed and turned in bed last night. I could not get myself to fall asleep. I had a brilliant idea (well, brilliant for me) which would allow me to work from home by 2012. ANd this idea would not let me sleep so I had to get up. So I mapped out my plans and how to do it by writing it on my ever trusty notebook and found out I could actually make more than what I;m earning today as a Contact Center Manager and yet still have the freedom to move about the way I want to. Things I'll need to make this succeed: 1. A computer with an i7 core. I'll probably have my younger brother build me one. 2. A scanner. I saw a really cool portable one. 3. A printer. I guess a Canon printer. 4. A Canon 60D DSLR 5. An Apple iPad or a similar tablet that will let me have more control in editting or creating nice pictures and graphics :D I'd like to share more but I might be accused of promoting so til next time people and i'll leave you with this question... ever had an idea that won't let you sleep?

It happens in the still of the night, after we have reviewed the events of the day, a quietness envelopes our minds and soul, and when the rest has hushed up, God, whispers into our ears ways to make our lives and the lives of those around us much much better. I call it divine inspiration, you can't search it, but you had better listen when it comes, and when you listen, it builds within your soul a white hot burning desire to achieve, to serve, and to experience all that life can offer you. Happens to everyone, once in a while. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

Straight out of Think and Grow Rich my friend, I love learning from people smarter then me, then just quoting them at times that seem appropriate. If you haven't read that book, I would highly recommend it. I could even send you a link where you can get it free, and join a forum that discusses it. In a bit though, I have to head of for a business lunch. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

I am also working on a site which I think will help me in earning good amount of money in the near future so I am always thinking of new things to make it better day by day. And ya, writing down the idea does motivate and makes it easier to remember. Anyway best of luck for your venture..

I like your discussion dude. Well that is because I had similar situation now. Haahahaha..Recently I have an idea and that idea I convert into plan (not a house plan or whatever), detail plan on what I am going to do. I am getting so excited about it and think about it every minute. It's torturing but kinda in a good way. I will see the outcome of my plan in the next 7 months. Arrrgghhhh..I can't wait. Hope we both have good lucks.. See ya later chipe

good luck with your plan! 7 months is a long waiting period but if you follow your step goals and achieve little wins every month, by the 7th month your goal should be very much attainable :D

All the damn time! Some times it's just the things I have to do the next day or crafts I want to try. Usually family worries though keep me up for days on end. Especially if they are something really bad or worrisome.

Yes, several times already. There are sometimes that I just suddenly think of plans that makes me awake until early in the morning. Some of them are just about simple things that I want to do the next day or about some people around me.
