I am an ideas person. I have notepads full of ideas that are basically just waiting for an opportunity to be set free. It can be frustrating when you want to fly, but you’re grounded for whatever reason.
I do believe that God’s gotta plan, but you can’t just sit back and wait for that plan to magically land in your lap. You need to create opportunity. How do you do that? Well, first, you keep your eyes and ears open. Listen and watch what’s going on around you and in your industry. Connect with friends in your social media communities. Make sure your profile on LinkedIn and Naymz are complete, post a comment on your Facebook page, Tweet your thoughts, etc. Your friends are the best referrals out there, so just ask them. They will be more than happy to help if they can.
I truly believe the key to being successful is being able to put your ideas into action. Unfortunately, sometimes someone is standing in your way and often times you are knocked a few steps backwards. Have patience. Think things out and have a strategy. Once you have left your bread crumbs around town, it’s only a matter of time before someone starts to follow them, which will lead back to you.
As I mentioned in prior posts, I am a getter done kinda person and my patience is sometimes put to the test. The world is full of people who have their own agenda and their own timetable. Take a deep breath as I often remind myself. Find the things in your life that bring you happiness and focus on those while you get through the frustrating times.
Keep an eye on things, place those bread crumbs and be patient. Your time is almost here, I can feel it.
