The Blue Ocean Strategy

Creating ″blue oceans″ of uncontested market space.

Unlocking new demand and making the competition irrelevant.

uncontested market space.

Finding Opportunities in every challenge


Think Positively. I can. Most people simply do not get what they want because they have no
courage to believe that they can acheive it.

Don't focus on the problems, focus on finding opportunities.

Think of what it is you really want to achieve. Engage your sub-concious mind.

Think about how you can accomplish your goal.

Look at it from different perspective; try each of these views: opportunist; entrepreneur,
optimist; child; dreamer; strategist; architect.

Make it a habit to see every problem as an opportunity.

OPPORTUNITY QUOTES

"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." ~ Albert Einstein

"Trouble is only opportunity in work clothes." ~ Henry J. Kaiser

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
~Thomas Alva Edison

"We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible
situations." ~ Charles R. Swindoll

“Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want." ~ Marsha Sinetar

Evaluating a business passion

Passion is at the heart of entrepreneurship. Given the uncertain success of launching new
products and services, and the challenges of developing new organizations with limited
resources, passion can become a key driver of entrepreneurial action.

Passion can “fuel motivation, enhance mental activity, and provide meaning to everyday
work”. It can foster creativity and the recognition of new information patterns critical to the
discovery and exploitation of promising opportunities.

Passion has been associated with the ability of entrepreneurs to raise funds from investors
and to hire and motivate key employees.

Scholars have pressed for a deeper understanding of passion as a central element of


entrepreneurial efforts.
