What is your definition of opportunity?

Google defines opportunity as:a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something. Always looking at your surroundings, whether it be physical or business, you can find an opportunity to improve your situation.

Never let your circumstances dictate to you what is possible. That is always up to you! You are the one in control of where you want to be and how you get there.

You may have to start out small in order to find the right opportunity. Start by looking at your surroundings. Find positive things in your area that inspire you and leave the negative out of your life. By staying focused on what you want, you will see more positive growth in your life and of that which you are pursuing.

What Pushes You to be Successful?

Is it a burning desire for more money? Is it a desire to live in a different area? Is it a desire to have a family with a home of your own? Is it a desire for all of these?

Do you look for and utilize classes that are available to you? Do you find a way to educate your life mindset? Are you ready to take a risk? Are you willing to fail? Are you willing to start over?

You will find that some of the most successful people on the planet have failed many times. Some have even lost all of their wealth. Some have lost prestige. One common factor with all of them, they got back up and started over. They continued to educate themselves. They looked for an opportunity or made an opportunity for themselves. They wanted it that badly. They were not willing to give up.

Where Can I Get The Education I Need?

There are a number of places to get the education needed to be successful. One of them is the school of hard knocks. One is college, another technical or vocational school. You can get your education by going to the library. There are countless ways of getting an education. You want to find one that is best for you. The way you learn. What causes you to become distracted.

There is no one best way to learn to be successful, to a point. You always want to keep learning about your passion. That is the only way to become better. Some of that learning is by doing, some of it is by classroom and some is by reading different articles dealing with your interests. But you have to keep learning. Sometimes, you may even read articles that are completely opposite than yours. Why? The reason is simple, even though it is opposite to what you believe, you can still find information there that can give you an advantage and help you product or blog even stronger and sought after even more.

What is the Right Solution?

Only you know what the right solution to your education is. There is one thing that should be obvious to each of us, we all need to keep educating ourselves to become better in our respective field.

I have learned so much at Wealthy Affiliate that it is scary. I came to this platform several years ago. I started out quickly but did not stay with the training the way it way laid out and became discouraged. It did not help that I had a mentor in the beginning that did not want to take the time to help. That mentor no longer has any influence on my work or my beliefs.

The platform here is unsurpassed anywhere in the world.

At Wealthy Affiliate, you have a planned system that will educate you, a community that will support you and mentors that will help you. You get all of this for a very affordable price.

I recommend this platform to anyone who is willing to work hard, be consistent, willing to help others, and not be in a hurry for immediate results. You must look at the larger picture. Start with goals. Find someone who will help you stay focused, Put in the time, it doesn't come overnight. Remember that others were where you are now. Be patient with yourself and with others. Respect other viewpoints, sometimes the best point is not yours.

Always look for opportunities that are right for you. Not all opportunities will match with you or your long-term goals. Find one that you can be passionate about. Plan for the long run and be consistent with your work ethic.

I love your blog Jerry. There are so many opportunities out there and sometimes they are right in front of our noses. I totally agree that learning and studying is the answer, and, if someone loves to learn, it is a bonus. Thank you so much for your great blog, Jerry. This is food for thought for me today.

Recognizing the opportunities in front of us takes a bit of training. It also takes the powers of observation to see if it is important enough for us to check into it. We must continually educate ourselves to see what is hidden in plain sight. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Jerry, this is an excellent point. I never thought of it that way and you are so right. Thanks

Jerry, a great blog. I liked the bit about
"What causes you to become distracted"
I had not thought of looking at learning from that angle before.
And you are right, we all need to keep educating ourselves, I meet lots of people in my business who stopped learning when they left school. No reading, no writing, just computer games and TV.
What a shame. But we're not like that are we.
Up at at 'em Jerry. Take care and keep in touch.

Distractions and shiny objects often take a person to a place they don't want to be. Getting back on track may take some effort and time but the trip is well worth it. Getting rid of the distractions helps but one also has to have a goal or a dream and make the decision to achieve that goal.
Jerry

100 percent in agreement Jerry.

Education, even for learning how to build a website, takes time, effort, perseverance and desire will get you to your goal.

I did, it was interesting :)

Very true words, Jerry!

Jeff

I have found from experience that if I don't further my education then I miss out on some great opportunities.
Jerry

You bet, Jerry! We all learn something new every day!
