Create Your Own Opportunities |
|
Ian Christie
|
Here is one
of those basic laws of life: There will always be
opportunities for those who recognize and pursue them.
The lucky people are simply those who have taken more
chances than average.
But you need a strategy for seizing opportunities, one
that consistently demonstrates your passion for and
commitment to your field. Stick with your plan, and
you'll reap rewards in your job Search or business
endeavor.
Three Steps to Creating Your Own Opportunities
Step One: Find Your Niche
You can make your own opportunities by identifying and
pursuing a niche that is either underserved or an
emerging trend. Once you recognize a need, look at it
objectively from all angles and get creative about how
you could serve that need. This strategy applies to both
entrepreneurs and those in the job market. You may have
an idea about how to do something better, faster,
cheaper or at a higher quality. You may have a new
service idea.
Step Two: Become a Guru
Make sure your niche overlaps with what you do well and
your passion. Once you define your niche, make it your
business to know more than your peers about this area.
Now devise a strategy that helps you stand out from the
crowd and get noticed. Develop, promote and lead a Web
site, blog, online discussion forum or networking group
on your area of expertise. Write articles and submit
them to magazines, newspapers, related Web sites and
email newsletters. Write a book. Self-publish. Do some
public speaking. Expand your sphere of influence in your
area. Get quoted, consult, mentor or coach.
What you are doing is deepening your knowledge and
sharing it with the world. If you do this effectively,
you will get noticed among the people who matter in your
field. You may become the person people go to for
information. This puts you in a wonderful position. You
are no longer one of the many, but one of the few.
Step Three: Give in Order to Receive
One of the best ways to advance is to give. This is
doubly powerful when the giving you engage in is
directly related to your area of expertise. Whether you
host a free industry trends blog, write and give away
free articles or volunteer at industry events, you will
be contributing in a meaningful way to the advancement
of your specialty, and you will be noticed.
Determine What You Want and What You'll Accept
What is your goal? To land a job? To align your work
with what you are passionate about? To become famous?
Have a range of acceptable outcomes that could emerge
from this work. You will, of course, have a primary
goal, but be very open to unforeseen consequences. When
you commit yourself to something, life has a funny way
of throwing opportunities in your direction.
Develop and Work Your Plan
How are you going to pursue this opportunity? You can't
and shouldn't do everything. Pick your strategy and
tactics, and create a plan. Make it happen. It sounds
simple, but execution is the most important part of the
process.
Ten Things You Need to Create Your Own
Opportunities
Keeping in mind the process above, here is a quick list
of the things you'll need to create your The Right
Mind-Set: You can create opportunities if you take
charge of your career.
1.A spirit of adventure.
2.Self-Knowledge: Know your values, skills, strengths
and weaknesses, and what you're passionate about. This
is the time to shape something to fit you, rather than
shape you to fit your work.
3.An idea and imagination.
4.Knowledge and Skills: In your area of expertise, yes,
but you will also need to acquire skills to help with
self-promotion.
5.Ability to analyze opportunities and make sound
decisions.
6.Initiative and drive.
7.Courage.
8.Resilience: Success is rarely immediate. 9.Resolve not
to abandon this take-action spirit.
10.Flexibility: When you take the initiative, good
things happen, but sometimes they aren't what you
intended. Be flexible to what life throws your way. You
may be surprised. |
