“When opportunity knocks, open the door.”

How many times has opportunity knocked on your door and you didn’t answer?  Opportunities arise every day.  We just need to be aware of them and make the decision to take them or live with the consequences of missing them.

We can all look back at points in our lives when we had opportunities to try something new, to have a unique experience, to learn or to grow.  Whenever I miss an opportunity, I feel disappointed.  I wonder how the opportunity, if taken, would have impacted my life or given a result I was seeking.  I also ponder about opportunities I have taken, and I wonder how my life would have been impacted if I hadn’t seized those opportunities.

Be self-aware
Consider how you've responded to similar situations and how your typical style might help you get closer to what you want.
 
Be flexible
Be willing to revise unrealistic expectations and recognize when you're waiting for the perfect time.
 
Build your network
Reach out to past and present clients, partners, and business associates to keep your business top of mind.
 
Be kind to yourself
Don't judge or blame yourself for missed opportunities. Instead, focus on what comes next.
 
Acknowledge your emotions
It's normal to feel sad sometimes. Putting a name to your emotions can help you move on.
 
Embrace an opportunistic perspective
Accept that things rarely happen as planned and capitalize on that.
