4.  Seize opportunity. Opportunity will present itself  in strange and wonderful ways. Sometimes it’s a call or emails you were not expecting. Other times it’s an offer to attend an event or meet someone for drinks. Are you quick to blow that off? Or are you able to see opportunity? Sometimes the POTENTIAL for opportunity is there, and we are quick to say no or turn it down. To have thrival you must understand that opportunities often present themselves only ONE TIME. And taking advantage of them when they do is critical to thrive. This means you must be willing to make decisions, and sometimes those decisions need to be made quickly. I think all of us have had the hindsight were we wish we had taken advantage of something and did not! It’s worth reminding yourself of those so you do not lose out next time!

 

Be willing to evaluate opportunities after the fact. Warrior-Preneurs are always strategic, which means don’t just do – think about why, how, and what needs to be done as a result.
