So put on your dance shoes because you're about to learn how to waltz with opportunity. Letting opportunity pass you by will leave you feeling discouraged and regretful.

Your financial breakthrough is T-minus the next five points if you're keen.
If you look around you, you'll notice high-potential opportunities in the market that you have the chance to take advantage of and make some coin from. If you can't find any opportunity suitable for the taking, here are a few pointers.
1. Stay Up to Date
No man is an island is most true in modern society. If you want to score big on the market, you have to keep updated about all the current trends and news. Of course, current information is not enough to get you started; you have to throw in a bit of creativity for everything to fall into place. Many people often have great, brilliant ideas but are often too scared to actualize them. So naturally, our next pointer is—
2. Get Over the Fear
Fear of failure has been seen as the number one reason people do not start working on their ideas. You might think that opportunity is external, but a lot of the time, it's that light bulb moment you ignore in the shower. So next time you have an idea, write it down and get started before you get cold feet.
3. Stand Out, Be Unique
Being ordinary can be quite tempting, but it does not pay to be generic. You need to figure out how to present yourself to the world as your true authentic self; no filter. Chances are you are missing out on an opportunity because you are hiding your funny, quirky, and unique self under a fake persona. After all, it feels safe.
4. Try Something New
Stagnating in one area of your life can get a bit boring, leaving you feeling stressed and burned out. Maybe it's time to take that sabbatical to another continent. Trying something new exposes you to new opportunities and ideas that you will never have working that 9 to 5. If you like your desk job or need it (or the money) for now, you can try something new after work and see what you like. It doesn't have to be major; you can start with something small like cooking Chinese or carving a wooden toy. If you don't try, how will you ever know what you like and what you don't? Throw caution to the wind by letting your imagination free.
Bottom Line
Opportunity is all around us; you have the choice to take it or leave it. Keep in mind that not all opportunities are meant for you; after all, too much of everything is poisonous. The trick is to strategize and only take on what you can handle. With these key pointers, you're ready for your first dance; the floor is yours.
