The most useful source of ideas for your business......

I wondered what the most useful source of ideas for your business you have found to be.

For instance, is it your own brain, those of someone around you (if so who: partner / business colleague / mentor)

... or perhaps looking around the net and finding out what competitors are doing and adapting what they do into your own ideas?

There must be lots of sources of ideas for taking a business forward and it would be interesting to discuss some here in the business brainstorm!

Definitely chatting to friends and family I find very useful for idea generation, and also for bringing my ideas down to earth too!
