Thinking creatively

I want to further my aptitude for sculpting the "vision" and producing creative investment ideas. Any recommendations to help get creative juices flowing when evaluating new opportunities? Any abstract recommendations (ie. shift in mindset) or concrete recommendations (ie. books to read, start by understanding zoning/rezoning & what could be possible, a structured checklist) are welcome.

Thanks!

I suggest RE Twitter. You have to wade thru some BS but there are some guys on there really doing some creative things with some interesting but simple ideas.
