Whether you are aware of it or not brain storming is a very large part of any success in business you may have online. All too often we get caught up in the day to day tasks involved in our businesses and use these accomplishments as our measure of success.

In fact these tasks can easily become 'rituals' that end up occupying the vast majority of our time. In doing so they keep us from the reflection and thought that can lead to introducing more creativity and innovation into the business. It is important to schedule time for reflection and to brain storm allowing ourselves to make corrections, improvements and discover efficiencies we overlooked.
