“If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.” Milton Berle

Many of us sit and wait for an opportunity to come knocking. Unfortunately, wishing for opportunities doesn't make them happen. You must look for opportunities in your life and strive to make something happen when you find them. There will always be opportunities for those who recognize and pursue them. The lucky ones are those who have taken more chances than average. “Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.” William Arthur Ward.

Recognizing opportunities when they show up, and creating your own opportunities, are the best ways to achieve success. If you give yourself the chance, you may find that there's an opportunity knocking on every door. However, don't wait for someone else to find opportunities for you. As the opening quote says, if opportunity doesn't knock, build a door and you knock on it. Learn to recognize opportunities and take action promptly. Be open to answering the call when new opportunities present themselves. “My favorite words are possibilities, opportunities and curiosity. I think if you are curious, you create opportunities, and then if you open the doors, you create possibilities.” Mario Testino.

You need a strategy in order to seize opportunities, one that consistently demonstrates your passion for and commitment to your gift, natural ability or what you do well. These are three steps that you can take to create your own opportunities:

Step 1. Find Your Niche. You can make your own opportunities by identifying and pursuing a niche that is either underserved or an emerging trend. First you must recognize a need, and then use your creativity to come up with a way to serve that need. You may have an idea about how to do something better, faster, cheaper or at a higher quality.

Step 2. Become a Guru. Once you define your niche and it overlaps with what you do well and is passionate about, make it your business to know more than your peers about this area. Devise a strategy by which you can deepen your knowledge that will make you stand out from the crowd and get noticed.

Step 3. Give in order to receive. One of th best way to advance is to give. This is twice as powerful when the giving you engage in is directly related to your area of expertise. Find ways to give of your time by volunteering, or your knowledge by giving away materials you create. You will be contributing in a meaningful way to your specialty, and you will be noticed.

However, you need to create a plan for whatever goals you want to achieve. Stick with your plan and you will reap the rewards. When you commit yourself to something, life has a funny way of throwing opportunities in you direction.

Finally, you will need a few additional things to create your own opportunities such as,  the right mind-set, a spirit of adventure, self-knowledge – know your values, skills, strengths, weaknesses and passion, an idea and imagination, knowledge and skills in your area of expertise and self-promotion, initiative and drive, courage, ability to analyze opportunities and make sound decisions, resilience, and flexibility. Remember, “There are always door openings. And gradually, it accumulates. The opportunities open up in front of you.” Buzz Aldrin.

Regrets – Let Them Be About Not Doing What People Said

“I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what my heart led me to and wondering what life had been like if I'd just been myself.” Brittany Renee

It is always easier to follow in someone else's footsteps. Although believing in your heart and making your own choices can be daunting at times, these things are an important part of the learning process. Remember, mistakes are teachers and victories are windfalls.

Indeed, you should much rather have regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what your heart led you to, as the quote above so rightly states. You will experience true celebration if you live your life through your own heart and mind. When you are yourself, this allows you to grow. However, when you try to be someone else, this will only bring regret.

In life, you should determine if you're doing what's right for you. You should do what you do because you wanted to , not because someone else wanted you to do it. Make choices that are right for you. So that you can congratulate yourself for your accomplishments. Most important, allow yourself to be who you are, rather than what others think you should be.

4 Hidden Benefits of Building a List

It is said that the money is in the list. Therefore, a list is extremely valuable to any marketer. List building is not just a simple marketing tool. It is one of the most valuable tools. When a marketer builds a list, it has several benefits to make marketing more efficient for your business.

"When people think about building the list, the number one reason is making sales, either as an affiliate or for your own products. However, a responsive list is valuable for a number of other reasons. There are a lot of other ways that you can benefit and profit from your subscribers aside from simply pushing products onto to them.

Market Research

Everyone on your list is interested in the type of products that you are selling and the market that you are catering to. This means that your list is a great way to do some market research. Send out a poll or survey every month and you will find out exactly what your target market is looking for in a product. This helps to ensure that your next product will be something that your market wants. There is nothing worse than spending time and money on a large product, such as a membership website or video series, only to discover that no one wants to purchase them. By using your list to gauge the market interest in certain topic areas, you can avoid this completely.

Testing

Using your list to test products is another great idea as well. Once you have created a product, such an ebook or video series, it is a great idea to send your list an invitation to test your product. Obviously you still want to market this product to your list once it is completed, so you may want to limit the amount of test products to 25 or 50 (depending on how responsive your list is). You can then take the feedback that they give you and use it to improve your product before you sell it. Additionally, you can find out if there are any additional complimentary products that could be useful as well as add value to your product package.

Pricing

One of the biggest problems that most people have is setting the right price. Your list can help you out here as well. By giving away a few copies (10-25) of your product before its release, you can get feedback from your list regarding the price. Setting the right price is essential to maximizing your profits from each product. Set it too low and you may sell a lot, but miss out on the profit margin that you could have had. Price it too high and you simply won't sell enough to maximize your profits. Not only can you get a better idea of what price to charge, but also find out ways to add value to your offer in order to charge a higher price.

Product Creation

Most people who manage a list allow their list members to email them with questions and comments. It is extremely easy to take the questions that you receive and turn them into a product. It can either be a product for sale, or a free product for your list (or to get people to join your list), or even be used to promote an affiliate product. Surveys and polls can be used the same way. If your list has questions, there is good chance that other people are asking the same questions somewhere else. By simply answering these questions, you can create a product that many people will want."

List building should be a priority. You should definitely think about list building if you want long term success. Therefore, it should be one of your main goals. List building can take your site from nowhere all the way to being a large site in just a little time, consequently, you should take care about growing your email list.

“Anyone can do something when they want to do it. Really successful people do things when they don't want to do it.” Dr. Phil Mc Graw.

Most people want to succeed in life but they are unwilling to do what is required in order to achieve success. Without a shadow of a doubt, there are going to be things in your life's journey that you don't want to to do. However, if you want to succeed, you have to get out of your comfort zone and do the things you don't want to do. You need to take a deep breath, accept what you have to do, and just do it to the best of your ability.

You have to remember on your life's journey to success; you have to take the bad with the good. There are going to be smooth sailing and there certainly will be rough sailing as well. It is the trials and tribulations that you encounter in life that build strength and content of character. You need this strength to stick with whatever your are doing until that task is successfully completed.

You have to do the best that you can with every task that you have to complete whether you like doing it or not. In life, you have to always do things that you don't want to do. You cannot slack off on the grunt work. You just have to do it! In order to succeed, you will always have to do tasks that you don't want to do. More importantly, you have to persevere through all things so that you can come out on the opposite side of failure.
