DoImage of people chatting you sometimes think that some people seem to be “lucky” and work drops onto their plate? Do you wish that your phone would ring with new customers more often – as it seems like your friends phones do?

Well you can make your own luck. Simply be prepared and then make your own opportunities.

Be prepared – by learning the right skills, and going to the right events to meet people. You cannot meet new customers while you are in your office – you have to be seen, and be out and about.

Make your own opportunities – you may not realise it but your next best client might be standing just a few feet away from you in a supermarket, or a car park, or the pub – and while I do not suggest you actively canvass for business in a car park, a few words of greetings and if the opportunity presents itself, the four words, “what do you do” can sometimes lead to remarkable results.

Remember – Every crowd has a silver lining (P T Barnum)
