Brainstorming by yourself without the need for a group

You will be pleased to learn that advanced brainstorming techniques can allow you to brainstorm effectively by yourself without the need for a group. This means that you can hold a brainstorming session absolutely any time - and as many times as you want - with no money, time or difficulty spent organizing a group of people. In fact, many individuals find that they can be more creative on their own rather than as part of a traditional brainstorming group! And yet the freedom of being able to brainstorm by yourself is amazingly simple to achieve.

Times when you may want to brainstorm by yourself

• You work by yourself
• You work for yourself and are self-employed
• There is no one available for a group session
• The people around you do not like brainstorming sessions
• The people around you will not follow the brainstorming rules
• It is too time-consuming or expensive for you to hold a group brainstorming session
• You want to take credit for the ideas all for yourself
• The problem is too small to justify gathering a large group of people
• You work in an uncreative or very critical organization

Advanced Brainstorming makes it not only possible to brainstorm by yourself but it also makes it easy!
