Once you know your goal and your vision, the next step is to look for opportunities to climb higher towards it.
The thing is that when you learn to look, opportunities really do open themselves up all the time. This is one example of just what a key di erence having the right mindset can make.
The way to open yourself up to these opportunities is to recognize that sometimes the opportunity won’t come in the precise form that you expect it to.
In other words, let’s say you want to be become an author. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the opportunities are going to take the obvious form of being writing opportunities. Just as likely, you may nd that they present themselves di erently.
The perfect example of this comes from Sylvester Stallone, who wanted to be an actor. Unfortunately, no one would take him seriously and they all saw him as un tting for lead roles.
So instead he wrote an amazing script. The script was of course what we know today as Rocky and in an acting audition, he mentioned that he also dabbled in writing and was invited to bring in his script. The script was such
a hit that they started o ering him huge amounts of money to buy it o him. He refused however. The only terms he would accept were if he was cast as the titular character. The rest is history.
So, what Stallone did here was to nd a di erent avenue to reach the goal he wanted. He seized opportunities, he played up his best skills and he took advantage of his connections.
Let’s say you want to be a famous rock star. The conventional route is a di cult one to say the least. So why not instead try creating a YouTube channel to show o your skills and see what comes from that?
