Hello everyone,

New to the forums, and just finished the book. I'll try to keep it short and sweet here...

I'm 33 years old, working a 7-5 job. Married with young ones.

I have never really considered myself a creative person, and perhaps I'm wrong in this but feel that I have a lack of ability to recognize niche and innovative opportunities. I'm determined to train my mind to be open and able to recognize these things when they come across my path.

Example: I vividly remember a night when I was trying to plug my phone charger into the port on the bottom of my phone and remember saying to myself, "I wish they had chargers that were magnetic like the Apple laptops"... I plugged my phone in and never thought about doing anything else about it. Low and behold, it's been invented. And of course in hindsight, I'm disappointed in myself. I feel like I should have recognized that opportunity but the thought of solving that problem didn't even enter my mind! I wished someone else had done it! WTF!?!

My question is this: What can I do to help build my creative and innovative muscles? What books can you suggest that would maybe help open my eyes and help me train my brain so to speak?

Looking forward to the discussion!

Thank you,

Daniel
