How to Avoid Missed Opportunities

How to Avoid Missed Opportunities

Money Energy Law #17:

Opportunities help conduct energy. Stay financially flexible, accumulate, and leverage resources.

In late 2022, DNA Behavior released its ground-breaking whitepaper, Mastering Your Money Energy. Inside our research, we revealed a formula to help others discover their Money Energy potential and a critical component of that equation is the exponential impact of opportunities. And since its publication, I am often asked, “How can one discover more prospects and why does an individual or organization miss so many advantageous occasions when they present themselves?”

Preparing for opportunities means that you are consistently in a state of readiness to see and seize opportunities when they present themselves. Remember, prepare is an action word. Opportunity comes from the Latin phrase, ob portum veniens, which means "coming toward a port." It refers to a favorable wind blowing ships into the harbor. Think of an opportunity as something a good wind blew your way.

Riding the Opportunities Wind Current

The greater the wind of opportunities that present themselves, the greater the potential money energy that can be unleashed—but that depends on your mindset. So, it depends on your confidence, your self-empowerment, and ability to pursue or invest in an opportunity.

Ask yourself two pivotal questions relating to two influential concepts:

  1. How would you rate yourself and your current financial flexibility to be able to create opportunities in your life? This includes:

    • Surplus assets and income that provide the capability to make life and financial decisions on your terms

    • Margin of safety for being able to deal with unexpected events

    • Secure long-term earning streams

    • A structured debt management approach

    • An opportunities fund (Think “emergency” fund but for opportunities, not to protect from the unexpected.)

  2. Do you have the human capital, which are the skills, knowledge, experience, and behaviors to create or seize opportunities?  Things to consider:

    • Identity clarity – know your talents and capabilities; they can earn income and create wealth and increase your Money Energy

    • Clarity of purpose with your money improves your relationship with it

    • Continuous investment in your financial education

    • Development of multiple career paths

    • Know your communication behavior style to help build networking relationships

These are the primary considerations, and they may appear at first glance as fundamental, but your confidence, experience, and expertise in terms of financial flexibility and human capital drive exponential opportunities.

Take the Opportunities Quiz

Within the whitepaper mentioned earlier, we outlined twenty-six questions relating to your readiness state to create or seize opportunities that can create exponential stored money energy. I’ve listed them again below in a table format. Please keep in mind that there are no right or wrong answers, but the responses may cause you to stop and ask important questions about your state of preparation to generate wealth. 

Use a 1 to 7 rating for each question in the context of your current life and finances.

1 - Not at all

2 - Hardly at all

3 - To a small extent

4 - Average

5 - To a moderate extent

6 - For the most part

7 - To a very great extent
