A Continuous Learner Attracts Business Opportunities

“A man to carry on a successful business must have imagination.

He must see things a in a vision, a dream of the whole thing.”

Charles M. Schwab 1862 - 1959, American Steel Magnate

As I see it . . . . . . .

A continuous learner attracts business opportunities

The flexible people of the world have the passion to acquirer the skills to reach greater heights of success and the passion to use them effectively.

Those who are willing to embrace learning in a changing business environment will attract new business opportunities and success in the future. While the non-learner will straggle to keep pace and will no longer be able to effectively compete in the marketplace.

The learners keep the flame of their dreams burning brightly in their thoughts and they make them come true in their actions.

A commitment to continuous learning to acquire the necessary skills to create a cutting edge business advantage is a must. To effectively compete in a competitive world continuous learning is no longer optional it become a must to stay completive . . . . and to achieve grater success.

Success will be attracted by those who have educated themselves and effectively apply their new skills with a purpose. At the same time others will not be able to keep up without the education and the new skills.

A continuous learner attracts business opportunities . . . . as a result of their commitment to becoming better at what they do. Make the commitment to attract new business opportunities . . . . and to be leader your profession.

Have The Imagination of a Child

Motivational Power Quote

Have the Imagination of a Child

“One of the virtues of being young is that you don’t let the facts

get in the way of your imagination.”

Sam Levenson 1911 – 1980, American Author

As I see it . . . . . . .

Have the imagination of a child

Our childhood was a wonderful time in our life . . . . and our imagination was in full bloom . . . .  and everything seemed possible.

We played games for hours . . . . and when we didn’t have a game . . . . we made up our own games.

It was a great time before electric games . . . . and the games were played outside.

One of the games we played was called kick the can . . . .

All you needed was a least 2 kids a can . . . . a small area to play in and a can. The can was used like a soccer ball and you get points for hitting a goal or a target.

The games where very competitive . . . . when there were enough kids you could play elimination games . . . . and like with like any other games there was a championship game.   

As children we used our imagination and occupied ourselves . . . . There was very little money growing up in the intercity . . . . There imagination, enthusiasm and everyday was a new adventure.

Have the imagination of a child . . . . and you will never grow old.

A Breakdown is the Beginning of a Breakthrough

Motivational Power Quote

A Breakdown is the Beginning of a Breakthrough

“Sometimes a break down can be the beginning of a kind of breakthrough,

a way of living in advance through a traumatic

this prepares you for a future of radical transformation .”

Cherrie Moraga, Writer, Activist, Poet, Essayist, Playwrite

As I see it . . . . . . .

A breakdown is the beginning of breakthrough

Every business and business model has a cycle . . . .

There is a cycle where it begins as an idea . . . .  and develops into a working model. Over the life of the business model it goes through series of adjustments and adapts to the changes.

Then at some point the business becomes old and outdated  . . . . and there is a breakdown in the business model.

One of two things will happen . . . .One business will ride the business model into obscurity. The business will become uncompetitive and fade away from the business landscape.

Another business will at the point of a breakdown of the business model . . . . and a beginning of a new business cycle. They will adjust their business model to remain competitive and leave the baggage of the old business model behind them.

A breakdown is the beginning of a breakthrough . . . . when it’s approached with an open mind and an attitude of possibilities.
