You have to know opportunity when it knocks, what it looks like (it looks\u00a0like a challenge). Often it’s f<\/strong>un that looks like a challenge <\/strong>or a\u00a0challenge that looks like fun. You have to be prepared for it, opportunity is like going for a run\u00a0between breaks in a thunderstorm, you watch for the opportunity, you\u00a0know what it looks like but you have your running gear on.<\/p>\n You have to seize it, quick. Again YOU. That’s ‘y<\/strong>our o<\/strong>pportunity\u00a0u<\/strong>ncovered’ so attack.<\/p>\n Simple. Not hard.<\/p>\n How do you get better at making and seizing opportunities?\u00a0Plan for hundreds of opportunities.<\/p>\n List all the stuff you want to do (it’s no co-incidence that Bill Gates plans a decade ahead and is able to seize the opportunities that\u00a0allow him to complete them). And prepare for them.<\/p>\n The more you seize the more you learn to ignore that nagging voice\u00a0inside which stops you, slows you down and really is the reason\u00a0you can’t sleep at night.<\/p>\n Doing stuff can be as frictionless or as tough as you want it. You just\u00a0need to refine that ability to push through and do what needs to get\u00a0done.<\/p>\n In short you make opportunities through the three p’s: Planning, Preparing and Pouncing.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n
