Opportunity: The Great Business Booster!
A new day is dawning and new roads are opening. So, when is it a good time to partner up with a kindred spirit or to seek new business opportunities? The answer is to keep reading till the end!
The climate is perfect to move your business above 20,000 feet. You, as the business owner just need to know when to climb, when to level out and when you may need assistance from the control tower to guide your business through the unfriendly skies. Listen, we all need guidance, even the most successful entrepreneurs had some guidance along the way…this is how all successful businesses became successful. Working together is a good thing…choosing when to work together, well, that is different story altogether.
As I read the book “What got you here won’t get you there: How successful people become even more successful!” I quickly realized that I cannot always rely on my own decisions without seeking wisdom from someone who has went before me. Think about it for a minute; most successful military missions are only successful with the intelligence that was gathered. Meaning, someone had to have been there before me to record the findings and relay the information back to home-base, before the mission could succeed. The same premise is true in business and the only way a start-up entrepreneur can be truly successful, is for that entrepreneur to seek advice from the one who has went before him.
Some believe that a partner will only hinder their mission, but you must realize that on your journey through the desert of business, a compass, or a canteen, or even a guide can be worth so much more than silver or gold in the long run.
