Demosthenes was a prominent Greek statesman and orator of ancient Athens whose quote is in the photo. It is hard to imagine these words from 384 B.C. are prevalent today. Perhaps what the truth is our past history is really no different from the current times. The only difference is modern technology to access our goals.
Have you ever lost something in the your home? I searched the house for my flashlight, I needed now. I even back tracked to the last known place I used it. Five minutes, ten minutes of frustration and still no flashlight. I decided it was time to give up and in the room where it should have been, I found it under a sweater that had fallen on it.
What is the point you maybe asking how this fits in with small opportunities? Simply small opportunities are the ones a person overlooks, because the person has their focus on bigger opportunities. I saw the sweater on the floor. I did not bother to pick it up.Why? Because it did not look like the shape of the hand flashlight could be there, no bump, no nothing. I passed it up and wasted minutes searching, simply because of what I thought.
The Internet is like that where one searches for ways to succeed. I happened to come across an email sent to me suggesting I watch an interview with a top entrepreneur. At first glance, I quickly read it and thought it was just another ‘buy this video’. I dismissed it.
Days later while going through the emails to delete the old ones, I stopped to read the very email I dismissed as unimportant. I decided to watch the interview video. It was what I thought, a sales pitch, but it also gave some great free advice. This is what I refer to as small opportunities often can lead to bigger opportunities. I now had some insight I did not have before.
