What do the Snuggie, the Pasta Bread Bowl and the Slap Chop have in common? They're all ridiculously simple concepts you could have come up with. And they're all going to make someone else a stupid amount of money. To make sure you never have a "wish I'd thought of that" moment again, use these creativity-boosting tips.

Break a sweat
A recent study found that aerobic workouts have a significant impact your ability to think creatively -- for as much as two hours after you stop moving. The connection between lifting weights and genius isn't quite as clear (just look at the missing links hefting iron at your gym).

Act immature
We're not saying drink syrup in public. (That's something you do in private.) But just taking a minute to look back at your old elementary school diary jogs your memory back to a time when no crazy idea was a bad one.

I lost my job a few months ago, as many of us are now. I was devastated, how was I going to support my family? I read about the eBay Success System in Entrepreneur magazine and they even had a link ( http://tr.im/EbaySuccessSystem ) to get a free kit explaining how to make money that way. I found out that over 720,000 Americans are making a living on EBAY right now. I am one of them now. Now you can do that too. I can tell you that I'm already making as much money as I did on my job and I'm working less time than I used to spend commuting. Beat the economic depression and get your free kit today. http://tr.im/EbaySuccessSystem

If you're looking to replace or create a high level with an already in place product, then read on. If not, don't. I'm posting because a lot of you are experiencing what I did and this could be of help to you. It's what I did when I
