Flipping America 361 Opportunity Knocking Part One
b'
Tom Peters said, \\u201c\\u201cIf a window of opportunity appears, don\'t pull down the shade.\\u201d No one listening to this show right now is responsible for the pandemic that is destroying the worldwide economy while taking fewer lives than the seasonal flu. It\\u2019s a strange and challenging time, but it is precisely during times like these that shrewd people sense the changing opportunities, respond to meet them and make or grow their fortunes. And it is precisely during times like these that people who are close-minded, stuck in a rut, or simply resistant to change will suffer.
Today we begin a conversation about the opportunities presented by the world-wide pandemic. We want to be careful to emphasize \\u201cethical opportunism.\\u201d We are not here to prey on the misfortunes of others, but there are going to be people that need solutions. It is possible to help people, provide solutions, and make money at the same time. And this is exactly how we should present ourselves - real estate solutions providers.\\xa0
\\u201cMost people don\\u2019t recognize opportunity because it often comes disguised as hard work.\\u201d
\\u201cOpportunity paged me, beeped me, linked me, emailed me, faxed me and spammed me, but I was expecting it to knock.\\u201d\\xa0
