When Opportunities Come By, Do You Make The Most Of Them?

by Steve Marr | Articles, Business

Do you make the most of opportunities that arise?

King Solomon wrote, “He who gathers in summer… acts wisely, but he who sleeps in harvest…acts shamefully” (Prov. 10:5 NASB).

Some business will be seasonal or active on weekends or at particular times of the day.

Plan carefully to take full advantage of these busy times. Plan vacations or rest time when business is slower.

Plan your paperwork or deferrable tasks to less busy times—this allows you to focus on customers.

Your careful planning and commitment to strike when the iron is hot will allow you to make the most of each opportunity.
