Charlie Brown once declared, “No problem is too big or complicated that it can’t be run away from.”
That certainly seems like the most sensible thing to do right now as the bad news appears to be stalking us in a majority of conversations, radio shows, newspapers, and news programs.
I am afraid we are not fast enough to run, so we might as well stand up and fight. We must look for the silver lining. There is great change in our world today and it is through this change that doors are opened.
It is change that creates the opportunity for new offers of help, new businesses and services.
My brother is in the high-end construction business and you can imagine how lucrative that is right now. Instead of spending all day lamenting over the old business model he had that has so cruelly been jerked out from under him, he started meeting with the influential people he knew to get their interpretation of what is to come. In one of these conversations, he was tipped off to an opportunity coming in the commercial real estate markets. Due to a mass exodus of businesses, shopping malls and office complexes are going to have vacancies like never before. In order to lease the space out again, the landlords gut them out, taking them back down to the shell to make them a blank canvas for the prospective tenants.
Without the change we are experiencing, that opportunity would not be there. What opportunities are around you that you may not have previously seen?
