In Business, Is It Luck Or Opportunity?
I attended a conference last weekend and while I was listening to the presenter and taking notes, I overheard someone say: “How lucky can she be? She is always in the right place at the right time.” I have heard that type of comment many times before so I just ignored it and turned my attention back to the presentation. Later that evening that comment popped back into my mind and for some reason, it just did not sit right with me and I just couldn’t put my finger on why. As I was driving home that night I had that “AHA” moment that gave me the clarity I was seeking.
Entrepreneurs, Are You Ready When Your Time Comes
The thought that became so clear to me that night was this: “How many entrepreneurs and small business owners are in the right place at the right time and never no it!” That place and time is not just reserved for one person so how is it some capitalize on the opportunity while others let it slip by? The concept of being in the right place at the right time is just not enough, there is more to the equation.
The Right Formula For Success
Yes, being in the right place at the right time is not enough and if you are not prepared in your business your time will escape you. This is the formula I believe will prepare the entrepreneur for success and put them in the right place and time. This is what you need:
- The right YOU: Do you have the right mindset when opportunities unveil themselves to you or will you hesitate and let them slip by?
- The right KNOWLEDGE: Have you done all you can to prepare yourself? Do you have the proper systems and tools in place? Are you constantly up to date on your changing industry or field? Have you had the proper mentoring and coaching in your niche?
In business I believe there are opportunities and not luck. Having in place, the right knowledge and the right mindset will put you in the right vehicle at the right time(opportunity) to drive your business into success.
