No doubt, there are challenges all around. The economy and world have changed in a way few saw coming, and that has meant that the old rules simply don’t apply anymore. The old way we pursue opportunities, paths, needs, solutions and that all elusive quest for security has been forever altered.
So, you’ve got two choices...à
Keep banging your head against the wall and trying to figure out
how to force a now extinct paradigm to fit a new circumstance, or
à
Change what you’re doing.
They’re still there, they’ve just moved around a bit.
If you can find that sweet spot, magic will unfold.
There is opportunity all around us—even today. But, you’ll never find it wearing yesterday’s blinders. If something’s going down, something else must be going up. And, for Career Renegades, that means opportunity.
So, even if the sky IS falling (and it’s not), you still have a choice to make.While the pundits scream about the sky falling, most people are running for cover, ducking into doorways and buying umbrellas. But, a small group of savvy entrepreneurs and Career Renegades are out their with buckets waiting to catch it, bottle it, and sell it.
They’re finding, tapping and exploiting gaps, and creating opportunities that will set the stage for the next great wave of passion-driven, massively prosperous entrepreneurship.In fact, this very realization recently led one of the smartest investors and business thinkers on the planet, Warren Buffet, to share the following dittie in his 2009 Berkshire Letter when talking about one of his major portfolio companies, GEICO:
“Tony and I feel like two hungry mosquitoes in a nudist camp. Juicy targets are everywhere.”Question is... which camp are you in?
Maybe it’s time to start looking beyond the perceived limitations of the economy, take off your “pundit blinders,” grab your bucket and start catching your piece of the supposedly falling sky.
