Mastery of opportunity

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

An entrepreneur must master opportunity.  What is an opportunity?   It is time space where you can make:

     

      CASH

      ANDA

      PERA

      PHP

      AREP

This is now what they call as monetizing your hobbies, interest, your parssion

An entrepreneur must not be shy to make money, to desire money, to make lots of it.  If you listen to 

the saying that money is the root of evil, what does it profit a man.... Then you cant make it.

We need money to survive, to pay for our food shelter and clothing.  That is why we look for a job.  That is the ultimate goal of our studies.

While in high school, I had a hobby, and it was a losing hobby.  I took pictures of school events of weddings Of course I spent on film and developing.  I gave away most of the pictures.   My class mate urged me to collect and ask for payment and do not be shy.   When you are a mature entrepreneur, you must not be shy to raise your prices, or ask for more in a negotiation.   The one who survives on this earth is someone who can tell others what he wants.

To address OPPORTUNITY  you must:

    

      1.  Seek  -  doing a serendipity walk, look at franchies -  ie business that is dissimilar to others

      2.  Scan/screen  -  evaluating what fits your skills and interest

      3.  Seize  - writing your business plan and starting it.  Seizing the day

Its like writing:

      1.  You scan what is trending

      2.  You select articles that interest you or are related to your themes

      3.  Then you write about it.

I all ready lost my power point presentation on this topic.  I shared this with Slideshare/Linked it.  But they monetized this.

Opportunity seeking follows the numbers game

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Even at this later stage in life, this office entertains many possible projects.  I think opportunities follow the law of numbers.  Of the so many in pipeline, only one or two will prosper.  Many obstacles will come up preventing success of the project:   1.  regulations,  2  internal dissent or lack of cooperation, 3.  the proposed partner mindset.  Lately one of our projects in the pipeline was cancelled because one of clearances was delayed, He lacked obviously patience and the maturity to come to a long term business  relationship.  He dared us to end the project, which we did.  We spent time effort, and over a year wrestling with the project. 

I was relieved that it was over.  It was second time he showed his lack of patience   On the other hand it was  a blessing in disguise because we did not get the desired row.

The other project was abandoned by the Board because lately we are having difficulty with LGU and 

its almost two years.  The LGU exec is a relative and has not been helpful.   

As my younger brother used to say, maybe " Not meant to be"     May be we will just use the project to cover our liabilities
