"The greatest losses of all are those from missed opportunities." -- Robert T. Kiyosaki
"The secret of success in life for a man is to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." -- Benjamin Disraeli
We live in a world with billions of humans. Is there even one among us who is completely satisfied with all aspects of his or her life? Not very likely! Everyone wants something different, more, or better! Everyone has unsatisfied needs and/or wants. This effectively translates into unlimited opportunities for those can come up with ways to satisfy needs and/or wants. And some of them are money-making opportunities.
Because people need and/or want certain things they don't have (or don't have enough of), certain things are considered "scarce." If people think something desirable is going to become more scarce, then more people want to buy it, and its price goes up. This phenomenon results in money-making opportunities.
Most people need and/or want more money. If you can provide people with ways to make more money, some will be willing to reward you. This phenomenon also results in money-making opportunities.
Most people don't want to lose money. If you can provide people with ways to protect themselves against loss, some will be willing to reward you. This phenomenon also results in money-making opportunities -- such as insurance.
Many people earn more than they spend, resulting in savings and surpluses. Some want to put there savings and surpluses to work to earn more money. If you can help the, some will be willing to reward you. This phenomenon also results in money-making opportunities.
Money-making opportunities are endless. See also The Opportunity Gap Principle in Millionaire Report #7.
Marketing gurus Al Ries and Jack Trout have written an excellent book Horse Sense: The Key to Success is to Find a Horse to Ride. The "horses" I'm riding to success can be found at Freedom Business Opportunities.
Most "opportunities" offered to you over the Internet (or via junk mail) are unworkable or scams. "Whenever something sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true!" In my experience, out of every 1,000 - 10,000 things that "sound too good to be true," one is actually true. Great benefit can be derived from finding this "1 in 1,000 - 10,000" thing and utilizing it as an opportunity.
"If the opportunity looks like it might succeed for a few months, but will definitely fail in the long term, walk away from it!" All kinds of products, projects, activities, programs, or businesses have an "s-curve-type" life cycle -- some longer than others. Great benefits can be derived from something that you expect to have a life-cycle of 6 - 24 months before it becomes obsolete for reasons such as being replaced by something better.
Do not let "economic correctness" "label-think" (Money Skill #1 and Money Skill #18) prevent you from utilizing an opportunity to make a great deal of money.
