In my opinion, opportunities are once in a lifetime, one may choose to take it, or leave it. Some come again, to present themselves, others don't.
However, many times, we see the storm come, and as approaches come, we plan for the future. However, in between the planning and prediction, we tend to blind ourselves from what is really going on, I imagine it is triggered psychologically, and sometimes this can prevent us from seeing the opportunity presented.
"As the bad things in life sweep by, they are surrouned by the good things to come" Does that ring a bell?
What I am trying to say is, we shouldn't dig deeper into the hole. I know bad times are present, and they are to get worse, before it gets any better, but it will eventually. But what better time to see the opportunities that are around us. Many businesses don't see the opportunity to dig deeper into their mission statement or invest in things that could better the business because they are too busy cutting down on cost and predicting what is to come. Opportunities are all around in these times. Analyse first, internally and externally, and then predict.
