free-manure-sign If you were driving along and saw this sign what would you think? A pile of manure or gold? It’s all in the eye of the beholder. Are you the kind of person that sees something like this and thinks… huh… I wonder what I could create from that?

Once there was a guy who did stop and saw gold. He asked around and ended up meeting a contractor that wasn’t going to use a plot of dirt and manure. He negotiated a deal for hauling it away for free for the contractor. The guy then turned around and sold it for $25,000! He made a chunk of money off manure! Something that most people would never think anything of. He kept his eyes open for opportunity. Are you keeping a watch out for opportunity? Or are you caught up and shutting it out?

The truth is that we see signs like this everyday. Opportunities are all around us. They are there staring us in the face. They just aren’t so bold most of the time. How many opportunities have you passed up? How many decisions could you have made to truly build something great? Start looking at things from different angles you never know when an opportunity could lead to something huge for you and your life.

Opportunities? They are all around us… There is power lying latent everywhere waiting for the observant eye to discover it. – Orison Swett Marden

The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work. -Thomas A. Edison
