"What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do."
Joe Namath
How prepared are you for that big break you are anxiously waiting for?
How prepared are you to begin the journey to achieve your dream?
What opportunities have you missed because you were not prepared?
Have your job interviews been unsuccessful because you were not nadequately prepared?
If you want to be successful, you have to spend some time educating yourself, nresearching and understanding the relevant area that you are looking to pursue.
For instance, if you want to start a business, you must commit to andninvest your time and resources in finding out about what it would take tonrun a business in every sense of the word!
This is a very competitive society and if you have to get an edge over thenothers, you must have something more than just a rough idea of the areanyou want to pursue.
If you are suddenly called upon and asked to provide a service in an area nof your expertise, you must in deed and not in theory be able to provide nanswers and solutions in a confident, professional and excellent fashion.
If you have to perform a task, which you claim you are qualified to do, nyou have to prepare to deliver the required results. When you are prepared nfor your big break, you will always confidently rise to the occasion!
"The more you prepare, the luckier you appear"
Terry Josephso
As you wait for your opportunity, prepare, prepare, prepare!
Begin to lay the groundwork, commit yourself to your success,nconstantly refresh your memory and research the latest developments nin your field of interest. Saturate yourself with knowledge about your nproduct or service so that when opportunity knocks on your door, nyou will recognize it.
Most people miss opportunities because they are not prepared for it.
Even if they recognize it, they cannot respond to it or answer the call.
"One of life’s painful moments comes when we must admit that we didn’t donour homework, that we were not prepared."
Merlin Olse
"Preparation gives you a greater level of confidence, eliminates hesitation and ngives you an upper hand in competition.
Therefore, 'Be prepared.'"
