Great question! When traveling I seem soak in the surroundins. So many great things all around you that I pull in and join together. For example colors, textures and sounds from my recent trip to Arizona has inspired me to bring a little desert feel to the home enviorment.

Most great ideas happen while driving too or from an appointment. I then write them done on the back of my appointment book so they dont get lost

Active Rain has been a great resource, I've also asked  established/successful agents what has worked well for them, I read often and have watched videos too...and then I throw it all together in my own cooking pot, and season with my own herbs and spices :)

Most are idealists like mba students during a coffee break. That is how Trulia and Zillow started here.  

That was how the Great Recession mortgage crisises initiated.

No doc loan, interest only.... no question asked loan...... Great deal of the century was to purchase Household Finance which brought down the 4th largerst bank (global).
