Someone recently asked me the question: "How can I have more opportunities come into my life?" Good question, but I think my answer surprised them a bit.
I by passed the obvious (and necessary) points about hard work,persistence and preparation. They actually were very hard workers. Andthey had the great attribute of being seekers, they were on theoutlook. But I felt maybe they were missing this next and most valuable point - attraction.
I always thought opportunities and success were something you went after, then I found out that I needed to turn it around. Opportunities and success are not something you go after necessarily, but something you attract - by becoming an attractive person.
That's why I teach development of skills. If you can develop yourskills, keep refining all the parts of your character and yourself,your health, your relationships, etc. so that you become an attractive person to the marketplace - you'll attract opportunity. Opportunity will probably seek you out. Your reputation will probably precede youand someone will want to do business with you. All of thepossibilities are there by working on the philosophy that success issomething you attract.
The key is to continue making yourself a more attractive person by the skills you have, the disciplines you have, the personality you'veacquired, the character and reputation you have established, thelanguage and speech you use - all of that refinement makes you more attractive to the marketplace.
Personal development - the never-ending chance to improve not only yourself, but also to attract opportunities and affect others.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
