Opportunity means different things to different people. To the man who is not looking out for it, opportunity might appear as an ordinary occurrence or a problem to be avoided. But, to the man who is looking out for it, though, it may appear as a big problem too, but, for him, there is big money to make from the big problem.
It is true that many eyes look, but only a few see. And, of the few that see, only a chunk of them are the entrepreneurs amongst us.
I once heard of a Nigerian ambassador to the United States who said that when you walk the streets of Nigeria, there are Opportunities everywhere, but the citizens don't see them. That, though, they are in the US, they can see opportunities from there. And when he's done serving, he is coming back home to invest and do business here. Just Imagine!
“Opportunities comes but once only to people who don't see or use them.” ~ Bill Rafa'el
How Do You Recognise Opportunities?
1. Look At The Unlikely Places:
You have an area of interest. Everyone does. Look for what people don't look for, or run from in your area of interest and do them.
2. Look In The Likely Places:
Not everyone has the ability to see what others can't. Some have the ability to make things better. So, look at what everybody is looking at and make it better.
3. Increase Your Exposure: Mr Warren Buffet believes he makes the right decision often and less mistakes because he spends more time reading and thinking about business.
Read a lot about your business and other people's. Attend conferences, do new things and make new friends.
