Turning Challenges into Opportunities

Written by Jeffrey A. Solochek


Turning Challenge Into Opportunity

There is a common saying that whenever you are presented with a problem or a challenge, you should turn it into an opportunity. Some ofrepparttar people who have mastered this concept are;repparttar 104231 United States Government, Large Corporations, Self Made Millionaires. Was Y2K really a threat? Loot at allrepparttar 104232 companies that made a fortune helping you to become Y2K compliant. When it came right down torepparttar 104233 wire nothing happened according torepparttar 104234 predictions, we all remained onrepparttar 104235 Internet, our computers did not crash. Michelangelo virus was yet another example; mass devastation was forecasted, yet few really got hit withrepparttar 104236 virus, butrepparttar 104237 software companies raked it in with increased sales for anti virus software to consumers in a panic. The latest isrepparttar 104238 creation of email postage, as ridiculous as this concept sounds this is just yet another example of big corporations coming up with more and more ways to getrepparttar 104239 American public to bow to control. The general idea behind this is to charge email marketers postage on each email sent out. The bill died pretty quickly but now we have yet another bill calledrepparttar 104240 Can/Spam Act just enacted. With this for an email marketer it would mean exorbitant rates just to haverepparttar 104241 privilege of reaching their recipients. Who is behind this? The answer should be obvious; it is big corporations like Microsoft and AOL. I believe Microsoft is charging approximately a $1400.00 licensing fee to email marketers if they wish to be able to deliver their advertisements with MSN or Hotmail email addresses. If that is not bad enough check outrepparttar 104242 latest with Identity Theft issues. It seems as though because ofrepparttar 104243 problem being so huge, Credit card companies are now offering Identity Theft protection, yes you can get insurance now incase your identity is stolen, which of course you must pay for. Lets look at this concept for a minute, if you don’t want to lose a bundle getting hit by an ID thief and you cannot be guaranteed your information will stay private, thoughrepparttar 104244 Privacy Act demands it, you must pay for protection.

Be a Storyteller, Not Just a Speaker

The platform provides them with a privilege and awesome responsibility to share their stories in a way that helps repparttar 104230 audience to “wake up.” Good stories make people say, “Wait a minute. I can think or act differently about everything than I did before.” Stories are everywhere. Speakers learn to retrieve them and retell them to audiences as a way to show their humanness to show they care; to open people to possibility thinking and how making mistakes will lead torepparttar 104231 courage to finally help them succeed. Because most of us delineate our thoughts visually, great stories help to enhance and even transform our lives.
