Give yourself the freedom to look for opportunity around every corner – Smart Business Network

My life thus far has brought me many gifts, including good health, a fantastic wife, three incredible kids and a successful business that I got to start and grow with one of my best friends. Yet one of the greatest gifts provided to me is my willingness to be open to opportunities. Fortunately, I believe everyone can develop this skill.

To start, you need a world view that opportunities are everywhere. If you believe that, you need to embrace exploring opportunities. And finally, you must develop the senses to see and judge those opportunities that are worth going after.

Often, these will be incremental opportunities to improve yourself or your company. Over time, however, they may become more profound, and perhaps even life changing. Find time to leave your comfort zone and observe and listen. Youth is always testing and exploring, so stay young and see whats out there.

The best part about seeing opportunities everywhere is that if one doesnt work out, just look around again.
