Does Great Opportunities Come Every Weekend?
Why are we always in search of opportunities each weekend? Perhaps it’s something which drives us to do this in a subconscious way. Go ahead, call anyone, be it your friends, family or relatives and ask them during a weekday “hey, so what’re you doing?” often, the answer would be “I’m working” or “I’m busy”.
You see, we naturally think that there’s always time. Then, when the weekend arrives we get active because we have ‘free time’. The first advice for you is, don’t take time for granted.
You may have heard this cliché “an opportunity comes every weekend.” I say “that’s a pack of horse manure”. Why? Well, my friend I’m going to dispel the whole truth to you. Sure, an opportunity does come every weekend whether you search it out or not. The fact is great opportunities are very, very rare.
Okay, so you’re skeptical, staring at me straight in the eyeballs. All you need is a good eye and a nice knowledge to spot one. Well, yes and no. Those are the technical part of the equation. You’d easily pick that up in any business opportunity seminar somewhere out there. Just pay $XXX amount of dollars and ‘poof’, you’ve got the knowledge.
Actually, I’m going to talk about your internal wiring. The very core of your belief system. Your mindset.
Take for example; a great opportunity comes along and I mean there’s a real pile of cash ready to be made. We could observe two typical groups of behavior. I’ll classify them here for you in a few simple paragraphs. The first one is The Hopefuls. These are if not the most common and widely circulating around today. I was one of them. So, it’s normal yet very mundane.
The hopeful is an individual which has these thoughts running through in their minds when they are presented with a great opportunity. Notice, I said great not average.
Fear of risk.
Usually, it’s not the fear of making money that’s stops us in our tracks. It’s the fear of losing it. I’ve been asking this forever when I first started out in my business. Fortunately, I was so sick and tired of being average that I had nothing to lose because I was going to spend my money anyway. Why not spend it for a chance to be successful?
Lack of money.
It’s pretty much to the point here. Countless of times, when I had an opportunity whether it be a new business venture or a chance for a really lucrative investment. But I just didn’t have the capital to put it in. How awful indeed! So near and yet so far. The only thing I had at the end of the day was the regret that I’d not set aside an amount for opportune times like these.
Lack of knowledge.
A baby didn’t know how to walk until he kept practicing and trying to get up after each fall. I would say the most important is the application of that knowledge. If you read so much stuff but never applied it. You’d have missed every other opportunity anyway. An experienced eye is far better than a trained one. My principle was always to read only 1 item and apply it to see if it works.
Then, move on...
In my next article, I’ll describe how to correctly gear ourselves for prospering in great opportunities.
