The opportunities are here - what are you doing with them?

Guest post by: Manny Nowak

Article Overview: What are you doing with the opportunities that comes across you path in life? Are you grabbing them or just letting them fly on by? Too many times we are so busy with the day to day, with what we think we need to be doing, with the unimportant. So busy that we miss the greatest opportunities of our lives.

The opportunities are here - what are you doing with them?

Opportunities are here for all of us.

Some take advantage of them, some don't.

But as the old Cuban proverb says, “When the sun rises, it rises for everyone.”

What are you doing with the opportunities that comes across you path in life?

Are you grabbing them or just letting them fly on by?

Too many times we are so busy with the day to day, with what we think we need to be doing, with the unimportant. So busy that we miss the greatest opportunities of our lives.

Today and everyday moving forward, I want you to start opening your eyes, your mind and yourself to what is around you. If you feel like you are not getting the opportunities, then I believe you better look at your radar.

The opportunities come by us all.

Some look.

Some watch.

Some grab.

What are you doing with the opportunities that come across you life each and every day.

Are you watching them as they fly by?

Or are you grabbing them and making things happen in your life.

Helen Keller put it very simply when she said, “When one door of opportunity closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

During the past 3 years I have seen and heard a great deal of whining from people about how bad it was, how bad things were going, how bad it is still going to get.

Yet, I know of people going into business and doing very well.

Yet, I know of companies growing and expanding.

Yet, I see people doing very well in their lives and believing this is the best time ever.

Why?

Because they have been grabbing the opportunities that have come to them and made things happen.

When there is a drought – there is opportunity in supplying water.

Stop talking about the drought and start looking for the opportunities to fill the need people have. Those that find the way to fill the need for water will be successful. Those who talk about the problem, will become customers and pay for water.

When the price of real estate is dropping – there is opportunity in buying property.

Yes there are ways to do it. Yes, I do know real estate people who are doing well. Stop focusing on the dropping price of property and start focusing on how you can find money to take advantage of it. Look for the opportunities to do very well. Those who buy now will be ready to sell later and make money. Those who do not buy now, will have to pay much higher prices.

When you lose your job, you need to look at what opportunities it has opened for you. Many people lose a job they really hated in the first place. There is so much chance for learning and doing something new. The whole world has opened up for you and you focus on the problem instead of the opportunity. You may just find a great new career, while others are still stuck.

One of the greatest opportunities right now is the high price of gas. Most people are whining about it. But I can guarantee you that there are people looking at the opportunities it has created. Where are you?

Change you focus.

Open yourself up and start taking advantage of the opportunities that come your way each day. Yes, they do come, you just haven't been listening.

Remember this simple Arabic proverb:

“The dawn does not come twice to awaken a man.”

If you are not on this page, then get on it.

If we can help, call, email or stop by.

This is the greatest time ever to really make it happen in your life, what are you doing about it?

Re: Paypal now Available to South Africans Re: Paypal now Available to South Africans - [quote="MichelleJ":2h5840vi]Hi Alan Yes it has been very difficult. Until now we were able to make payments to people or companies but were unable to receive any payments, which effectively shut us off from many affiliate opportunities on the internet. MichelleJ[/quote:2h5840vi] That's too bad. At least now you'll be able to enjoy the new opportunities this will bring.

Re: Mentors vs. Coaches Re: Mentors vs. Coaches - [quote="jvprosperity":fduw5vdg]martin, that's a good point about Coaches Vs. Wise old owls... would be great to have a "wise old owl" with Coaching abilities... I have noticed a previous mentor of mine was not open to new ways of doing things as she mentioned that the tired and true method that worked for her was the only thing she would support that I do. It worked ofcourse and we got the desired outcome just as planned - so I'm not complaining.[/quote:fduw5vdg] I appreciate and use "tried and true" techniques etc - but the business and the promotional world is being offered many new opportunities each day and especially if you use the internet. So, keeping an open mind to these new opportunities seems necessary. Shri

Guy Kawasaki's Angel Advice Guy Kawasaki's Angel Advice - Here are some words of advice that Guy Kawasaki, one of Evan's expert authors, gave in an interview awhile back about seeking out angels: "Some angel investors are members of angel groups, allowing them to increase their access to investment opportunities and giving them the possibility of investing jointly with other angels to hedge their risk. Tapping into these networks is one way to start looking for investors. Also make use of your personal network -- especially your professional advisors. Your network may well be able to suggest potential angels. In looking for angels to target, don't forget that choosing an angel investor is a great opportunity to gain an advisor. So do your research. The best investor for your start-up will be the one who can contribute significant experience, knowledge, and networking opportunities, as well as the cash you need to grow your business." Something to keep in mind...
