89 Business Opportunities Growing
b'Today business opportunities are growing, and they will explode over the next year. Let me explain this a little bit. First, I did postpone, I apologize for that. I postponed a few days for this episode to come out because I wanted to wait until the dust settled after the election. At the end of this episode I want to wrap everything up together so you understand why this opportunity is so big, literally for everybody who wants to start and build a business. It doesn\\u2019t mean business is easy, but at the end I\\u2019ll wrap it up and put it into a tight package. At the end I will go and explain a little bit more about how growth really happens, and why you can count on it and why you should feed into it.\\n\\nBusiness is expected to boom for 2017. Get ready!\\n\\nFirst, this is a great opportunity to start a business or to look at expanding your current business. Why? Because the economy in 2017 at some point should start growing fairly well and fairly rapidly. There\\u2019s going to be a lot of changes, and the changes are all towards the growth of economy and growth of business. I\\u2019ll discuss that a little bit more and I\\u2019ll discuss some of the things that are happening in specific industries, but more importantly, it doesn\\u2019t matter where you are because whatever you\\u2019re doing there could be opportunities that are expanding now and you could be one of the ones to fulfill that demand. (see episode 67, \'Developing Business Ideas\')\\n\\nBack to the episode. Whenever there\\u2019s great change, there\\u2019s always opportunity, and that\\u2019s what gets into business ideas and business opportunity. It is a unique opportunity today in America because of the change. Whether you like or don\\u2019t like the candidates, who cares? Let me remind you of something that happened to me a long time ago. I want to give you an opportunity, get off the Xanax or whatever anti-depressants you might be taking, and just move forward. Remember that all of this is done and then it\\u2019s over.\\n\\nFocus on your Future Business Opportunities, Leave Past Behind\\n\\nWhat happened to me in high school was during my last year, my senior year. We were had Shakespeare in English class, so the whole year was devoted to Shakespeare. During that time, I was always wondering, because I would take an exam and of course, like most people, after the exam you start thinking: \\u201cOh, gee, I wish I had thought of this, or if I did that, or had wrote that. Or I should have done this a little better,\\u201d or something like this. You end up literally wasting a lot of time after the fact when you should really be studying for your next exam. You don\\u2019t dwell on what\\u2019s already done. What I ran across in one of Shakespeare\\u2019s plays was: \\u201cWhat is without remedy should be without regard. What\\u2019s done is done." So whatever is done is done, it\\u2019s without remedy, there\\u2019s nothing you can do about it. Move on, get going. I wrote that exact quote on an index card, posted it on the wall right in front of my desk. Whenever I started to think about what had happened, rather than focus on what I was doing for the next event, the next exam, or the next career goal \\u2013 I just looked at that and immediately refocused myself. Do it, take that as a little bit of advice for yourself. Put it down on something so that you can use it the same way.\\n\\nAs I mentioned, and I\\u2019ll repeat: Change brings opportunity. Why? Because everybody is acting a certain way, and as the tide shifts, and the seas ebb or flow, you have new opportunities that come up, particularly with this particular change. It is very different. We\\u2019re embarking on a grand opportunity, particularly for small business. Small businesses potentially have a great deal more opportunity. There\'ll be a lessening of regulation, there\\u2019s no question about that. That includes on banks. How does that help an individual? Well, the intent of some regulations were to rein in banks. But what happened without realizing what some of the effects would be is it put a lot of pressure on the small banks and the ...'
