A business opportunity intake process is a must have for ALL but especially for solo-professionals, service professionals and entrepreneurs who are constantly looking for and attracting new and exciting opportunities.



What’s a “business opportunity intake process"?

It's a filtration system of sorts. I'm like a giant generator. The more gas (projects) I take in the more power I'll create. However, putting the wrong kind of fuel in my engine can cause me to sputter and conk out. Have you ever seen a sports car try to run on diesel fuel? It's not pretty. (Not that I'm necessary a sports car, I may be more of an old beater, but you get the point.) Every engine needs a filtration system to keep the system running smoothly and cleanly.

Creating abundance

Everyone has their own very special way of creating abundance in their life. I do best when I respond vs. initiate. That may seem counterintuitive as I produce a lot. However, most of the projects I take on are in direct response to an opportunity, situation or event that I have come in contact with. I make sure to create environments in my life that serve as feeder systems for my work so that I have a constant stream of new opportunities. When I do respond to something, my response is immediate, fast, focused and aggregated.

I often feel like a magnate, however, magnates can attract anything (so to speak) so I am careful to filter properly. Hence, my business opportunity intake process…

When an opportunity presents itself I raise this question:

"Is this opportunity a new feeder system for me to help service professionals and small business owners create more demand for their products and services and can I leverage a current asset on this new opportunity and/or can I create a new asset with this opportunity to leverage throughout my current businesses?"

If not, I pass. If yes, than I jump on it right away.

Simple.
