OPPORTUNISTIC - Spotting Fleeting Moments and Striking While the Iron Is Hot
How to Recognize Real Opportunities, Make the Right Decisions Promptly, and Act Decisively Before It's Too LateBy Frank Ikechukwu IgwealorRecorded TrackLength26h 45m
About this audiobook
Most opportunities are not lost to bad decisions. They are lost to late ones.
Two people see the same opening at the same moment. One investigates, decides, and moves. The other keeps deliberating, gathering one more opinion and waiting for one more sign, until the window quietly closes. Months later, the second person calls it bad luck. It was not luck. It was the clock.
In OPPORTUNISTIC, attorney, economist, and CPA Frank Ikechukwu Igwealor reclaims a misunderstood word. To be opportunistic, in the sense this book teaches, is not to exploit people or chase every shiny object. It is to be alert, prepared, and willing to act decisively and ethically when the moment is right. Like the blacksmith who strikes while the iron glows, or the child who eats the ice cream before it melts, the opportunistic person understands that value decays with every minute of hesitation.
