The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
“you got to keep your sails up because the things that happen that are good are not your doing”
What It Means
Good opportunities depend on external factors you can't control, but you can control being ready for them
Why It Matters
Provides framework for action during difficult periods when outcomes seem uncertain
When It's True
When success requires both preparation and external favorable conditions
When It's Risky
When preparation becomes excuse for not taking action, or when external conditions never improve
How to Apply
Maintain habits and relationships during slow periods
Continue skill development when immediate rewards aren't visible
Stay connected to opportunities even when current situation is poor
Example Scenario
“During recession, job seeker continues networking and skill building, so when economy improves they're positioned for better opportunities than those who gave up”
