The power of inaction for entrepreneurs - Entrepreneur - Virgin.com: "I love reading inspirational and motivational blogs on entrepeneurship. They can pump you up and turn you on, get you re-focused and taking action. In fact most business related advice revolves around doing things, taking risks, and putting yourself out there. And that is fantastic.

But there is a flip side to entrepeneurship that is rarely discussed: the state of inactivity and reflection.

Whether you are creating the seed idea for a business, or during the many times when you run into a challenge while taking action on those goals and need a creative solution, there is only one proper thing to do: nothing.

I'm not talking about cracking open a beer and watching TV for eight hours straight. I'm talking about intentional inactivity. It can also be known as "meditation", but that term has a lot of baggage with it. What I'm really talking about is allowing your mind to be still, focused, and opened so as to connect with authentic creativity. "
