The Science of Getting Rich 8 – The Rich make Opportunities knock at their Door

The Rich make Opportunities knock at their Door

Opportunities don’t knock twice. How many times have you heard it said? But, do you really think this adage is true?

The fact of the matter is that you can make opportunities knock at your door as many times as you want. Haven’t you ever heard of people who have become successful, then fizzled out, and then resurged to become better than before? It happens all the time around us. Opportunities don’t come by only once. However, to make them come to you over and over again, you need some skills.

Understanding Opportunities

Firstly, you must understand what an ‘opportunity’ means. Just like God, opportunities come in various shapes and sizes too. A simple email address could be your opportunity. A visiting card lying on your desk unclaimed could be your opportunity. An evening at the mall could be your opportunity because you might meet someone special. The thing is, you should not play down anything. Anything can turn your life for the better.

Recall Value

Sometimes, you need to go back and think. You have to remember things. When you meet a familiar face suddenly on the road, if you are able to immediately place them, they might be so impressed with you that they invite you for a business deal. A good memory always helps. You will see that all people at the helm have great memories. Get into some memory building exercises if you aren’t gifted with a natural elephantine memory.

Never Saying “Die”

Most people who meet with failure once are liable to think that they will never succeed again. To add to that, there are several detractors all around them who always tell they won’t be able to rise again. However, it is very important that you don’t bow down to what others think. You have to be sure that a new opportunity will be found and you will become better.

Never stop looking for Opportunities

Usually, when someone finds that they have found something good, they stop looking for anything else. Probably, you are already into a successful business venture. When such a situation is present, you are quite unlikely to look at anything else closely. However, you must make sure that you don’t stop looking. Maybe, a new opportunity will come your way and taking it up can make you richer than you were before. Take a look at Donald Trump, or any successful businessperson for that matter. They already have their own highly powerful businesses. But, does that stop them from looking at other avenues? They are always diversifying, and giving their new opportunities the same energy that they gave their first one.

These four qualities ensure that the opportunities never stop coming to you. You gain from strength to strength. This is what pushes you on.

Unshackle your Thoughts from your Circumstances

Maybe you have a very strong desire of becoming one of the richest people the world has seen but probably you are getting in the way of yourself. Have you ever thought along the following lines:-

-    “How can I ever reach the success these Forbes people have reached?”

-    “How can I, a man with a $500 wage, become a millionaire?”

-    “I cannot even dream of becoming rich because no one in my family has ever been rich.”

-    “I am not able to pay even my rent. How can I buy a luxury yacht?”

See what you are doing? You are letting yourself get in your way. You are not unleashing your full potential just because you think you cannot do it. You have some circumstances in life – everyone has – which you think will prevent you from getting at all those riches we are speaking about. But if you read biographies of the richest people in the world today, you will find that a very significant amount of them have risen from slums, garbage dumps, ghettos, back alleys and so on. A lot of them haven’t had money to eat once. A lot of their families haven’t seen a $100 together except at Christmas.

Do you still think you cannot do it? Remember that no one is born into richness – not even the kids of the richest people today. Everyone has to live and learn how to sustain their wealth or to how to earn it. That is the reason you have to free yourself from yourself.

Stop thinking that you cannot achieve just because you are of a different religion, a different color, a different social background, different educational qualification, a physical or mental challenge or whatever. History has proved time and again that adversity breeds prosperity. You could be the next rags-to-riches story on the Forbes.

Do you have your mind set on becoming rich? Do you have that one talent you think the world really want? Are you already a small name in your small market? Are you confident of becoming rich? If yes, then you have to definitely make the effort. Remember that richness can come from anywhere.
