“When opportunities come, its too late to prepare.” Stephen Covey
Another great thought from Mr. Covey. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I struggle with working on things proactively. If you are like me, I have a long task list and some important things I need to work on and complete. With my head down and my focus on what is right before me I forget to look up and maybe look down the road aways. What happens is while my heads is down and I’m knocking things off my list I don’t see new opportunities coming toward me. I also find I’m not working on the most important things as well.
Stephen Covey reminds us that part of our daily task list should be us. We should spend a few minutes everyday and every week working on growing, planning, dreaming. What books are you reading? What pod cast are you listening to? What are you working on for later this year. Next year? In 5 years? The good book says “without a vision people perish.” So let’s take some time this week to lift our head up and look down the road a few months or years and start getting ready for the opportunities that will be coming our way.

Remember, “When opportunities come, its too late to prepare.”
