Obstacle versus Opportunity

By
Real Estate Agent with Wayne M Martin

Is it an obstacle or an opportunity? Do you run into obstacles pursuing an opportunity? We tend to focus our attention on the obstacles and forget about the opporunity. Another opportunity lost! Why is that? Why are we so easily distracted? How can we learn to remain focused on the opportunity?

Today's afffirmation may offer a clue: "What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude towards it!" Enjoy your day!

Hi Wayne.  Objections are closing opportunities.

Good Morning, Wayne. Sometimes those obstacles make you rethink your process and come up with a better solution...

Attitude can make every obstacle an opportunity. It just sometimes we need to get our thinking straight! Enjoy your day!

Morning Wayne I was distracted yesterday I had a client who wanted to see a duplex.  I've sold several to him but he was an hour late and the contract was written.  Just a minor inconvenience.

Sometimes I confuse these two.  I should try to look at it more as an opportunity.  Thanks. Wayne.

I don't ever mind obstacles, they are just part of the living process. You are so correct about the opportunities that come from, what get's in our way.

Hello Wayne,

If one focuses on the prize, all obstacles will be viewed as opportunities - which is, of course, exactly what they are!

Attitude can limit our success or take it to new heights.  It is always good to receive your suggestions.
