Selecting Opportunities

In less than a week, several opportunities have presented themselves. Two have come to fruition after several months of possibilities and one during a conversation a bit earlier today. The interesting thing is one is immediately executable. The second can take a bit of time, but could prove profitable and produce a residual income stream. The last opportunity from a conversation earlier could have an immense impact, not just for myself but for a minimum of millions of people on an annual basis.

I’ll take the low lying fruit first. It’s simple, straightforward, and requires the least amount of work. Additionally, I can implement this within a week and start seeing results before the end of the month. The next opportunity isn’t entirely within my control, same with the third opportunity. So although potential, waiting for so many moving parts to align will require tons of planning and patience.

When making decisions about how to invest my time, effort, and energy, I have to take some time and run through a risk, reward analysis. I have my process for evaluations. If you don’t have a process, I’d suggest you find and use one.

Today, Monday, January 8, 2024, I am grateful that:

I got a chance to talk to Sherman earlier. From our conversation, an incredible opportunity to help the residents and visitors of this island. Before week’s end more information will be obtained regarding feasibility.

Victoria and I had a chance to speak. Told her about the chance to get the dinosaur egg salt and she was definitely thrilled to have it at the ready.

To watch NFL highlights and relax. Didn’t order pizza, but that’s totally ok as well. Ate leftover barbecue.

Had a chance to eat and hang out yesterday with Poe and a bunch of the usual suspects. Fantastic food and fellowship, as always..

Saturday I had a chance to attend the graduation of Rian. His commencement address carried the same message of hope we’ve all heard many times. It was great to hear it again and realize that even at 30 years thars they’re senior I am hopeful for the future and the possibilities it holds.

How do you evaluate opportunities?

When was the last time you used that method to choose the route to take?

How or would you change that decision today?
