Blinkered To Opportunity

How many time have you looked at  opportunities around you through blinkers ? A horse owner puts blinkers on a horse so that they will not be scared or worried by objects and people at the side of them.

The thinking is, if a horse cannot see what is be side them, they are focused 100% on what is ahead and will not be distracted by objects around them.

Also it is thought if they cannot see what is around them they will not be scared by the objects.

Now I want you to put this into human thinking, how many times in life have we been blinkered, by the firm we work for, the affiliate company we work with, or the e-commerce platform that we sell on.  As a guess I would say a large amount of us. Am I right?

Some times it is very good to have this blinkered approach or tunnel vision to life and to our buisness. But …………………………………………….  At times by wearing blinkers we are focused on just one company and everything else is hidden from our thoughts and minds. As I have said this can be good some of the time.

But we live in a fast paced world that is ever changing, which is good, so we do need to let down our blinkers and keep our eyes, minds and thoughts open, to the different sales process and platforms out there, for if we just stay focused on one, we could miss out on something big.

Now I am not saying join everything and anything, you need to think will this new platform for selling help me reach my goal.

So stay focused, but remove the blinkers so that you can also see the new items around you.

Happy Selling
