Still talking about Opportunities.
Sometime ago, I was planning an event that required the participation of external organisations. Realizing that their acceptance to be a part of the event was going to depend a lot on the packaging of the proposals that I was going to send to them, I spent a lot of time. I did research. I studied. I pointed out what they stood to gain by their involvement in the programme. I also pointed out what I stood to gain. It was going to be a WIN-WIN situation for both of us. I was working to open the doors to opportunities for myself.
In over 90% of the time we have to literally work out the opportunities. They rarely drop in our laps. Working out the opportunities will require a lot of determination, a lot of energy, a lot of efforts.
Getting back to my event, I reasoned within myself that if I spread my tentacles wide, I'll have the opportunity of getting some positives. In otherwords, I was already prepared that there was a possibility that there weren't going to be some conversions. It brought out one salient factor - when we prepare ourselves for the possibilities of some opportunities not sailing through, our mentalities will already be prepared for whatever eventuality that pops up. That will help to keep our Attitudes Right. Well, some of the organisations I linked up were not ready to work with the proposal. Why? Like they said, the timing was not right for them. Did that discourage me? It simply drove me to seek other organisations that could work with me. Did I succeed? You bet I did.
I maintained a winning attitude because I was already prepared that all the efforts may not convert. Of course I was very optimistic that all in all at least 1 of the efforts was to going to yield.
I encourage you to prepare your heart ahead. It will help your Attitude. If one does not yield, the other may yield.
I' love to hear how you got some opportunities sail through for you.
Cheers and have a great day!
