Most of us are used to the concepts of danger management or time management. Many of the same principles can be employed to making and reacting to opportunities. Instead of thinking of opportunities as just "coming along", you can actually increase the number of opportunities visible to you, and there are special precepts you can use to assess whether a "possibility" has real "probability" and "profitability" for you.



1.Blow Up your round of friends. To increase the number of opportunities available, you need to go beyond traditional networking to get friendships and trust with people who "aren't like me". Use any system you choose, but be confident that your friendships accept various ethnic, efficient and social backgrounds,

2.Always be open to possibility. Looking At for the unlikely, view the impossible and speculate the improbable. Life's biggest chances are often secret.

3.Practice creativity. Deliberately think of a way to turn every crack-pot, bad thought into something usable. This is not about finding a way to empower in every system that comes your way, it's about practicing creativeness, turn ideas on their heads, finding the kernel of wiseness or value, and dropping the rest away.

4.Keep Off being overly tied to your goals. Goals, and programs for attaining them, can be exceedingly useful. They can keep us on track, focus our efforts, and motivate us when we're fatigued.

5."He who pauses is a damned fool!" There are times when opportunity pinks, but only stays at the door for a moment. Be ready to respond quickly.

6."Fools speed in where angels fear to tread." Being able to answer speedily is not the same as being weak. Almost 95% of the opportunities, thoughts and invitations that get your way will not be worth going after.

7.Valuate the chance of achiever. Just as risk management compares the betting odds of being struck by lightening (extremely unlikely) to the chances of a serious shipment being lost (more likely), and assigns different esteems to each, so opportunities have differing probabilities of success. Just because an opportunity could work out, doesn't mean it will.

8.Assess the potency rewards. Again, taking over from risk management, it's important to asses the potential for "winning big".

9.Actively call for opportunities. Grant friends, co-workers, colleagues, contenders and customers know that you are receptive to new ideas. They are much more likely to part a possibility with you if they know you are always "looking for ideas", having fun with possibilities and trying to realize the "next big thing".

10.Assess opportunities in conditions of your esteems. You know your intensities, your concerns and your core values. There will be opportunities that will ask you to become someone you aren't. You could make a destiny in funds, real estate, software, or a thousand other industries, but you have to live with yourself. First, maintain your integrity.
