Change is a part of business, with opportunities constantly vanishing and appearing . Technorati has left the scene (sort of like “Elvis has left the building”) and some options for business promotion have gone with it. Facebook changes constantly, companies are purchased for billions of dollars, and life goes on. Take heart; in all the turmoil there is opportunity. Whether you’re an early adapter and jump on board with the newest technology, or you’re comfortable on the back side of the innovation curve, an overwhelming array of products, apps and services is waiting for you.
So what opportunities are worth your time, and what opportunities are about as useful as a headless dog? Consider the bottom line. What do you need to invest, in terms of time, money and other resources? What is the impact on your current operations? What is the potential for return? What is the risk, and are you comfortable with this? It’s wise to be cautious, we cannot be immobile and survive.
Be on the lookout. Explore new opportunities in a range of sectors. Follow reports from trusted sources and keep informed on cutting edge gadgetry. Shake up your face-to-face haunts and connect with new people. Spend some time thinking about new approaches, new potential customers and refreshing your products and services. Explore new strategic partnerships. Get out of a rut. Try something new. Dare to step out. Opportunities are everywhere. Be a watchdog, find opportunities for business, and lead the pack.
