Opportunity in Disguise

from Liz Uible

"Every trial is an opportunity in disguise; do not let it slip by un-mastered. Boldly take away its mask, and you will be glad that you have this problem to solve. What was before looked upon with fear and trembling, will present brighter aspects to you; and you will be pleased with what you now account a misfortune."
-Our Invisible Supply: How to Obtain by Frances Larimer Warner

This is the kind of wisdom that I like to type up, print out and post near my desk because I know it will be useful often.

Being the kind of people we are- business owners, or investors and people who are committed to growth, this applies to us all- probably several times a day.

Reread the above quote a couple of times. What trial are you going through right now? What area feels like a monster in your business life? By 'taking away its mask' and seeing a trial as an opportunity to master an area, we not only give ourselves permission to grow, but reduce the size and scope of the problem itself and build a better foundation for our business future.

When you are willing to re-frame your 'problem' as an 'opportunity in disguise,' you begin to you begin to make the problem smaller. You collect the resources to master the opportunity and build an asset moving forward. And in doing so, you remove the blame from the situation giving it space to morph into an opportunity.

And we all like opportunity!

***One way I re-frame trials as 'opportunities in disguise' is with my Prosperity Team(TM). WomenforWealth.com Prosperity Teams are forming now. Also, new groups for those investing in commercial real estate and for those focused on building a business are also being created (please email me if you are interested). Join our membership program now and get access to great people and information
