As many of you know, one place to look for opportunity is in personal experience or crisis.  Sometimes an idea may seem obvious, or too simplistic, and we may overlook it because we don't believe it will work. 

Well, one woman in San Diego took a look at her personal experience and thought maybe others might feel the same way.  She followed through on her hunch and opened Sarah's Smash Shack, where people who need to let off a little steam can literally smash things.   (see www.smashshack.com)  Brilliant!

What nuggets of opportunity lie in your personal experience?  What ideas have you had that you've dismissed as just silly that were really the seeds of an inspired business venture?  Listen to yourself, celebrate your experience, and take action!  You never know where it may lead.
