Another Great Idea: The Plague or Promise of an Entrepreneur

It is 2 am in the morning, why am I awake? I was asleep and suddenly work up. Was is a noise in the house? A thunder storm? The noise from the teenager next door? The sound of that train a few miles away? No, that is why ordinary people wake up in the middle of the night.
I was awakened by an idea, a great idea. One that is keeping me awake. I wipe the sleep from my eyes, look at the bedside clock and groan. As I lay there quietly and pray for the idea to go away, it only seems to magnify. First it starts out like a slow dance and gradually speeds up to a hip hop beat, dancing around in my brain.
Ok, great idea, you win. I manage to stumble my way through the dark quiet house to my office, aka The Command Center, and sit in front of my computer. I have learned sometimes the only way to stop the music of the idea is to write it down. If I don't write it down, tomorrow there will not be a trace of it anywhere. So, I open the document called "idea bank" and make my deposit.
OK, I will come clean, sometimes this idea angel makes me take action on the idea right then, especially if it is one of those simple, easy-to-implement, no-brainer kinds of ideas. Usually, I will burn the midnight oil for about an hour or so. Then check my email and my Facebook page and finally, go back to sleep.
Often times, I will see my internet marketing friends and clients online doing Facebook, Skype, Twitter and I just smile and wonder if their idea angel has made a visit to them tonight as well!
So, here's the question and I think I already know the answer…is this a natural phenomenon with other entrepreneurs and internet marketers? It can't be happening to just me. I run into too many of you on the web.
I used to think it was a sleep disorder or a plague. I haven't always done this. It started up shorty after I built my first website. The more websites I built, the more ideas I had.
Strange but true. Recently, I have learned to embrace the idea angel and see them as a promise of hope. A way to fulfill my dreams and manage them to make them come true.
The idea angel is now just a part of me that I have come to know and love, but I must manage the great blessings she brings to me it the middle of the night or early morning at day break. After all, the ideas are not always about me. Many times they are ideas that will make inspire my family, my clients and my internet marketing co-workers. Just like this post. Enjoy and good night. By the way, the sun rise was beautiful this morning. Did you see it, too?
