The Awakening...

It is said that if there are no opportunities coming your way at
press
time; then why not create those opportunities yourself?

Yet in setting up those opportunities, can you really control
everything?


If you could... then you do not really need to fear the uncertainties
of
business; you need not worry of recessions or even competition.
Hey, you can control everything, remember?

Challenges are no longer part of one's dictionary then, after all,
there's nothing that could challenge you anymore. Collaboration
is even not crucial at all as you could survive and thrive alone.

Are all these really possible?

What do you think? Let's see. Doing business involves a buyer
and
a seller. If you grow your own farm, at the very least, you
could be
manufacturer, marketer, and accountant. No real need
for partners
or employees unless it's more than just a home
business.


But leaders and entrepreneurs are ambitious, hence, they think
big,
they act big -- they understand that we don't live on our own,
that
people need people.

This means... even when creating your own opportunities, for it to
truly succeed, you need to partner. You would need creative and
courageous people in your team.

"Revolutions aren't made by gadgets and technology. They're
made by a shift in power, which is taking place all over the world.
Today, intellectual capital is at least as important as money
capital and probably more so." - Walter B. Wriston


People make things happen. They think. They create. They
innovate. They decide. And a True Leader recognizes these,
so
he is humble enough to take in all the help he can muster.

This awakening is all about realizing that creating opportunities is
really a matter of self-promotion and collaboration. While a good
deal or investment only happens when you learn to see beyond
the surface.

Many claims to know these but not surprisingly, there are just
those
who needs to be rocked repeatedly to wake them up from
their
slumber.

"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might
win by fearing to attempt." - William Shakespeare


The time to apply what you claim is long overdue. Let's just do it.

Remember…
“A truly successful businessman is essentially a dissenter, a rebel who is
seldom if ever satisfied with the status quo.” - J. Paul Getty
