My friend Paul, invited me to attend a seminar of one of his mentors that happened to be down here in Florida. I got to thinking today about what is it that people want?
I was definitely surprised that for all the boasting, I expected a bit more pizazz. I mean, there were claims that the speaker was worth over 500 million. (question is.. 500 million what?) I looked around at the venue location, it was hosted at the Holiday Inn down by International Drive in Orlando Florida. Then I looked around at the people attending (it was the over 50 crowd)…and short of my 3 companions there were only 10 attendees.
The curiosity of the claim lead me to do a little research… oh.. you thought he was worth over 500 million dollars? No… they never finished the sentence.. 500 million in sales. Well the point here has nothing to do with the speaker, nor the location but has more to do with: What are people looking for? People are looking for an opportunity.
As I contemplated more on: People looking for opportunity, I began to admire those that create the opportunities.
When crisis and change come together, you have found the perfect mix for OPPORTUNITY!
New needs begin to arise out of new problems which in turn opens the door to those with the creative mind to fill those needs.
To create opportunities you must be willing to step out of your backyard, talk to more people, be willing to take risks and learn from your mistakes, establish systems that offer solutions and then — yes.. and then offer it to those looking for opportunity.
The more you learn and apply, the more experience you’ll gain and this in turn will prepare you for more opportunities.
