“What’s The Opportunity?”

Garth Beyer

We can rant about a lot.

On an almost daily basis you can hear me ranting about original content, stealing ideas, and poor marketing, but I follow it up and challenge others who rant to me to, at the end of the rant, state what the opportunity is.

Work scenario

Rant: There’s not enough Back To School content online to repin, stupid 80/20 rule on Pinterest

Opportunity: We can own the Back To School realm of Pinterest by creating 50 pieces of original Back To School content

Life scenario

Rant: It’s so difficult to make friends!

Opportunity: I can’t be the only one who feels this way. I suppose I can work more on being a friend to people instead of trying to find someone to be my friend.

Next time you catch yourself complaining, ranting, angry about a situation, ask yourself, what’s the opportunity?

Worth It?

Garth Beyer

“Was it worth it?” is a question we ask ourselves quite often. If you’re like Seth, then the answer can always be “yes” if you look at the effort you put in as the reward.

While I have that attitude most of the time, some things aren’t worth it and I can’t trick myself into believing the effort I put in was rewarding. So here’s my back-up mentality.

“Can I still make it worth it?”

I don’t give up until I do.

When you or anyone else asks you if it was worth it, “it” doesn’t need to signify an end of effort.

Just as you have the choice to look at effort as the reward, you can look at effort as an ongoing endeavor.
