The Rising Tides of Opportunity are All Around Us
If there was ever a country where opportunity was endless, America is the place to be.
Anything you want to do financially is very much available.
Yet most people are in a financial rut and don't seem to have the slightest idea how to improve their situation.
One of the cornerstones of success is opportunity.
Without it, it seems there's not much point in trying to accomplish anything.
When we first started a job or a career, it was with the expectation it would lead to something greater, whether it be money, fame, security, or accomplishment.
Before the industrial revolution and urbanization in the 1800s, the majority of employment was personal enterprise.
You either farmed or your vocation was a skill or a trade.
Industrialization and Urbanization moved people into the cities and into jobs.
Up until the last few decades it certainly appeared having a job was a lot more secure than trying to make it on your own.
As an employee you didn't have to worry about capitalization, manufacturing, marketing, and customer sales.
That risk belonged to the employer and your role was to climb the corporate ladder to greater success.
In some ways you can say our appetite for opportunity has been bred out of us because most of us have been conditioned to seek opportunity in the employee market.
The employee market was safe and secure, and as a reward to our loyalty and productive work ethic, it would remain so.
In most industrialized nations, that model is changing.
The safe and secure guarantee cannot be assured as emerging nations into industrialization vie for the same opportunity from employers at much less cost.
We are now entering a time where opportunity has to be as much a honed skill set as the one that makes your career now.
Opportunity and risk work closely together.
Real or perceived risk shields our vision to opportunity that exists all around us.
No one likes to lose what they already have, but failing to face risk also puts the opportunity we already have at jeopardy.
An emerging trend that is gaining momentum is the home business industry.
It's a way for people to explore endless business opportunities without the risks employers face and yet be able to create as much success as you want.
As the sayings go: "Face the fear and do it anyway" and "Opportunity knocks for those who seek it.
" Reawaken the opportunist that's always been inside you and seek out the bounty that is all around you.
