Capitalize on EVERY Opportunity That Comes Your Way

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚 Hey! Time to win.

Building unstoppable momentum is one of your highest priorities as a business owner.

In my coaching methodology, I emphasize the importance of stacking up quick wins (as fast as possible, as early as possible, no matter how big or small), because once you start winning, it’s hard to stop.

A big part of that is never letting up on the opportunities that come your way, and they will, so long as you keep moving forward.

The opportunities are coming. They’re out there, and they’re moving toward you as surely as you’re moving toward them.

But once you have one (or several) in sight, you have to STRIKE. HARD. And FAST. And REPEATEDLY, until you take that opportunity for all it’s worth.

What I’ve found helpful - you know how I love lists - is to keep what I very obviously called an “Opportunities List.”

It’s exactly what it sounds like. Whenever an opportunity to get closer to my goals presents itself, it goes on the list, and I make sure to work towards it every damn day, or at least as often as I can, is possible given the nature of the opportunity, etc.

So for example:

I have a newsletter feature coming up with a MASSIVE YouTuber, and that opportunity’s in my hands right now. There are things I still need to do to make that happen (he’s waiting on me to finish my breakdown of his book, then he’s going to share it with his followers), and I need to be taking action on that opportunity every damn day, like I said. And I do.

I’ve also got what I know is going to be a BANGER YouTube video in the works, and so that presents a massive opportunity too. It’s something I have to put a lot of effort, thought, and care into, because I know the potential upside.

There are multitudes of these kinds of opportunities that come up, and that you can create for yourself.

Once you’ve become aware of them, it’s up to YOU to do something about them.

Before they slip away. And you’re left with nothing.

Another pretty solid day in the books, and I LOVE how October is beginning to look. I still have 5 days in September to set myself up to win next month, and I feel good about where I’m at. Still lots left to do though.

But hey, it’s 3:51AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
