Topic: TAKING UP BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES - page 4. (Read 836 times)

You mentioned opportunity and you also mentioned business, which one do you exactly want us to emphasize on because opportunity and business is two different things. Opportunities can can in many form and you may want to seized and utilize it but business just don't come to you like that. When talking about business, we are talking about making idea become a reality through designated planning. Business develop gradually through ideas and then you pen down the plan to implement the ideas on real world. You don't just wake up and become a business man simply because you believe opportunity comes our way at anytime. You have to work towards it. To be successful in business after you are able to establish one require patient and dedication which is one thing killing most business of nowadays.

I strongly believe that opportunities do not come twice, so we need to make the most of them by analyzing them with an open and observant attitude. Everyone should have the mentality to develop by increasing self-confidence because it can help determine attitudes when faced with opportunities. Always take advantage of every opportunity because maybe that moment will be the beginning of success. When it comes to opportunities, one is always faced with two choices, take the opportunity or reject it. Although not all opportunities should be taken (depending on the goals you want to achieve), However, being open to opportunities is one of the attitudes needed to be successful in business.

Yes business can come in different form but not all the business will be good so when a business you do not like present itself is never encouraged for you to still invest on it as your spirit does not allow it, so actually this is mostly the kind of mistakes that affect people severally because they believe that since opportunity come but ones they will not allow anyone that present to them whether is the one they like or not escape them, so actually for people who are rooted on the business they have some sorts of business spirits that can sometimes detect for them if the business will be good at the end or not.

So no matter any business that present to us the need to thoroughly check it is very important because money is not easy to make and the little someone has need to be judiciously use into something that would generate more of it instead of losing it, so for me I'm good in business and I have understand enough that I cannot put my money into something I'm not sure of.

A great entrepreneur makes an opportunity for himself to take. A good entrepreneur will see a situation and find a way for him to come up with a product or a service that will be beneficial to many. That is how I see what an entrepreneur is, and this invention or innovation will be turned into a great business if you manage to make good profit. Some entrepreneurs can come up with the greatest ideas but they do not know anything about selling their product and making sure they maximize their earnings.

When there is an opportunity to take, you need to make sure that you make the most out of it before it slips away from your hands.

If it's about opportunities and waiting, don't wait for it but find it and what suits you. There will be a lot of business opportunities that we might miss and that's why we want to take it for as long as they're in there to be taken and for us to see if it's going to fit and click with how we like it to be managed.

Business-wise, this is about location. If the products and services you offer is on the right market and niche of people that you'll consider as customer, it is very likely that you'll thrive into that community. That's why there is "target market" and from the very start, this should be known by business owners that they're targeting specific people that are going to be their customers. It is a very important factor that every potential businessman should remember.

In the first instance, before anyone should consider the idea of starting a business, he /she has to know if they are business inclined, else any effort put into such a promising business idea may end in futility, that is, if the owner lacks the passion or drive or clarity on the said business, such business will not thrive naturally.
 
Also, if there is lack of funds or too much responsibility that requires funding, setting up a business may be the worst financial investment move to make, but if there's a chance to involve others with  the drive or resources or there's an opportunity to manage a business for someone, then one could better know how to set up theirs without much hiccups. 

I think you most be talking about part-time business opportunities, that might come as a result of hazard or other things. If not the to start a business is not something that you will rush to get, if not you will end up losing everything, starting a business deals with different steps in which you most first get knowledge about it before you can even start analyzing or doom assessment on the environment.

Starting a business is not as easy as you say it, unless you don’t want to get profit on it, or you don’t want the business to last for long. Because in any business you most look for expert guidance if not you will not go anywhere in the business you will end up bankrupt.

A corrupt engineer in a corrupt system that is awarded a contract to build a road, for instance, and decides to divert the money because he sees it as an opportunity to turn the fortune around is not the kind of business opportunity that we are talking about here. Business opportunities that entrepreneurs should be keen to jump on should be legal business opportunities. The opportunities should not be opportunities that tend to take advantage of others, not the kind that can put other people in a difficult position. A chance to cheat others too is not a business opportunity.

As said by another fellow, jumping on every business opportunity can be costly sometimes. A person should have a craft that they are good at, I know some people think about it a lot, but a person can't be able to manage any kind of business efficiently because you can't be an expert at everything that exists, there will be specific things that you know and understand very well and looking to start a business in one of those areas where your mastery is at can be the opportunity that might turn things around.

I have seen people making plans about starting any sort of business, they only look at how much scope the field has and how much money can be made from that specific business, but they don't look at where they stand when it comes to understanding that business and the market they are getting into. We know that trading cryptocurrencies is profitable, but can we start making profits from it if we enter the market without even understanding the market or its basics? No.

This is why, only looking for loopholes that needs to be filled or needs that needs to be fulliled isn't the right thing to do for starting a potentially successful business, your expertise in the field is very much important.

Definitely correct but people find it so keen to grabbing business opportunities this days I must say, they prefer to make quick money such that they can ccompete with peers. This era we find so many business opportunities coming up to fetch one's needs and demands but the inability for one to grab such opportunities has being a problem in the society, when we talk about business opportunities we are talking about skills, something you find passion and love doing. I really like the fact that this topic was brought up cause you'll find yourself making the best out of it.

Where do you stand?
Are you dreaming of having/opening a business?
Did you have a business? If yes what form?

Those points are hardly ever reached by most (businesses).

Learning to analyze and assess whether something is a genuinely good opportunity is a skill that we only develop over time. As we get older, through practice and experience, we come up with our own calculation on whether something is worthwhile or not. You might have a bitter experience when working in a particular field, that would ward you off ever engaging with it again. You will also discover with age that opportunities can quickly vanish, even waiting a day sometimes is too long and you need to be prepared to adapt to every situation, because by the time you realize what a dream it would be, that dream might have been captured by somebody else.

It is also important to note that an opportunity might seem good for you or your business but it is not just the right time. We have to know when is the right time to make a move instead of just rushing to do something we might regret. If an opportunity arises we shouldn't be desperate to hop on it without thinking it through before you bite more than you can chew.

Also waiting for an opportunity to arise might have you waiting forever. You have to put yourselves out there and create opportunities for yourself. Waiting for an opportunity doesn't mean you won't put in the work. There's no playbook to life that everybody must follow or how it will happen for everybody. Some had their opportunity delivered on their lap, while some have to go look for it, either way, if you don't put yourself out there, the opportunity will not come.

Usually the opportunity to do business longer and more consistently is when a businessman is very familiar with the conditions of the environment he lives in and the conditions of the environment around him. Because there are also businessmen who cannot take advantage of the opportunities that exist in a place because they cannot take advantage of it properly. For example, if in a place that still lacks clean water and fuel oil, of course this can be a great opportunity for businessmen in terms of bringing fuel oil and clean water to that place if that place has a very large population.

most time you know how to take advantage of opportunity just makes everything different but there is no that it will yield when you know exactly the things to do, when you can not seize any opportunity the best you can do is to creat one for your self just that its going to be a lot of work doing that actually but when you are guided it will make a very easy for you.
situations like this they are called the social entrepreneur because the only thing they like to go after will not be more than looking for problems and selling out solution to the people but before you can actually do that you need to have understand your environment so that identifications of the problems will be made very easy.


The availability of jobs is now reducing every blessed day so keying into something that will fetch you money is what everyone is doing either investing or rendering out a skill, you can not be wasting time and waiting for people to give you a job why not just create one for your self, and what you are supposed to do is to have you eyes outside for opportunities so that you don't miss out on any and you can do your business at your own free will.

You just need to know your passion and make business with it, since if you just invest on other things which is outside of your interest then provably that the chance for your business to fall is so high since there might be mishandling instances will happen.

Also what best to consider first before thinking about building a business is to gain knowledge about what you are doing since its so important to have good understanding towards what you are dealing with since this will play huge part for your success.

More important is you know your target market and you can able to deliver what the community needs since if you scout those things then provably that your chance to succeed is so high.

Not everyone destined to become a businessman but if you have great unique idea then try to find ways to make it happen since ideas in mind will remain useless if doubting to start or implement it in real time.

in this era, what you need is not just ceasing opportunity when they present themselves but you also need to have the ability to create opportunity for yourself even when it's as though it non existing.

When you're able to recognize the needs in your environment that you can solve and get paid for meeting those needs, that's the first way of ceasing opportunity because with your willingness to solve those needs comes opportunity that will make you to even enrich yourself.

Anyone that sees himself as an entrepreneur ought to have this quality and for the likes of us that are from regions where our population is not a match to the availability of jobs, if you don't want to walk around the streets looking for jobs, you need to develop yourself to the extent of ceasing whatever slight opportunity that comes your way or become matured enough to easily spot out needs you can easily meet in your locality.

While I believe this is more than mere observation, being flexible and willing to shift gears when the moment is calling for it really is significant. Opportunities, indeed, don't always come about like one would expect. But if one knows how to shift on a dime, then that's the difference between going forward and getting derailed.

Another factor is to recognize the differences in the marketplace but, I believe, conversely as vital is creating a strong network and working to give yourself that sense of development. Being around all sorts of people could alert you to some opportunities that, otherwise, you would perhaps not have taken seriously.


Seizing the right moment is important to succeed, but not as important; let's not run to grab all opportunities arriving in today's business environment. Where technology is spreading at an unprecedented rate and the market is evolving endlessly. Businesses require much more strategicness. Adding to that the pace of change and uncertainties of the economy coupled with geopolitical challenges. There's a very human temptation to jump at the opportunity because it looks promising at first glance.

I'd argue, though that in the long run, success depends on how opportunities can be aligned to best suit an entrepreneur's core strengths and long-term vision. Opportunities are not equal. And sometimes, skipping one may prove to be a wise choice. For example, when global infrastructure starts to become ever more complicated and interest rates rise. This means the businesses need to take a risk much more seriously. Observation and preparation are also important but you need to have the insight to know when an opportunity isn't right, even though it seems good short term.

While I do believe seizing business opportunities is one thing, the opposite is equally unwise-to jump at each and every one of them. Indeed, rapid changes in technology and global markets create an inability for many businesses to solve the complex challenges they face. For example, 61% of executives believe technology disruptions will continue to accelerate in 2024, though not all companies are ready to handle it. It is when entrepreneurs should not be chasing an opportunity just because it happens to present itself but, rather, listens for matching opportunities that align with their long-term goals.

Adding to that, the world gets increasingly fragmented due to geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties. Higher interest rates and supply chains, which businesses need to be choosier regarding the risks taken, become important. Equally important as being prepared is to analyze if an opportunity is really a good fit before taking the jump.

I myself agree with this, indeed there are business opportunities but sometimes many people ignore them, like from what I found there are several points that can indeed be used to become a business, I myself am more inclined towards skills.
Everyone must have skills, although some of them do not have skills but I am sure behind that they have skills that can be used to become a business, if someone has not worked and does not have skills that is wrong, because in my opinion they have skills it's just not visible when the time comes then the skills will be visible and it depends on the person whether they will hone their skills or just ignore them.
