Spotting Opportunity
Hello! Welcome to your journey of Spotting New Opportunities! We're thrilled to have you embark on this exciting adventure. Here’s a secret: Opportunities are everywhere. They’re hidden in everyday challenges, waiting for a keen eye and an innovative mind like yours to discover them. Whether it’s a minor inconvenience or a significant problem, each holds the potential to spark an idea that could change the world. Embrace the Abundance of Opportunities In this course, you’ll learn that opportunities aren’t handed to us on a silver platter. Instead, they often come disguised as problems or frustrations. The key is to shift your perspective and see these challenges as the sparks of innovation. Remember, no idea comes fully formed.
