No secret Though it does take some practice. Back in preseason I was talking about how to notice things. How it needs to be a conscious decision at first. but after a while your brain gets used to "seeing" the potential niches

Let's try an exercise
Clear your mind and think about what you did when you got up this morning
example
You opened your eyes and slipped out of your queen sized bed, slipped on your runners and went for a jog around the blog. You said hello to a neighbor who was bringing a paper in and another who was out early pulling weeds from their garden.
On returning you jumped in the shower and washed your hair. Then you ate a low fat breakfast with some home squeezed juice. Ironing a business shirt, while your whole grain bread toasted, you checked your watch and saw you had enough time to ....

Ok break it down (as they say in those funky rap battles)

Queen Sized Bed - queen comforters 730 306 20900 80%
Running shoes - best running shoe 266 111 28500 60%
Garden Weeds - garden weed control 217 91 17200 53%
??Shampoo - your turn
Low fat ?? --- your turn

That's just a couple of ideas without actually drilling down more in MS, and I didn't want to spend more than 20 minutes on the exercise
