Harnessing Your Brilliant Ideas Is Easier (And Harder) Than You Think
<p>Linda Rottenberg was a recent college graduate when her mother overheard her plotting to build a business with a friend.</p>
<p>As she recalls, her mother shot her father one of those ‘You’ve got to stop this’ looks.</p>
<p>Soon after, Linda’s dad came over with a gentle reminder that she needed to be financially responsible, and this idea of hers didn’t sound like job security.</p>
<p>Today, Linda Rottenberg is the co-founder of Endeavour — a global non-profit that invests in high-growth businesses in emerging economies.</p>
<p>She’s also a successful author.</p>
<p>But as she recalls, all of that could’ve ended over that ‘<strong>kitchen-table-moment</strong>’.</p>
<p>As she puts it, “The best ideas don’t die in the marketplace or in the laboratory — they die in the shower.”</p>
<p>I can certainly relate to that.</p>
<p>Think about it: how many times have you had a stroke of inspiration in the shower? Grabbing coffee? Riding the elevator? Or just about anything other than work?</p>
