Opportunities Hiding as Insurmountable Problems

4 weeks ago, I lost my laptop 💻.

The place I had my entire business.

This was a big big problem.

I ‘thought’ it was backed up with the ICloud extra space I’d purchased and also Dropbox.

Turns out I was wrong and everything was gone.

Now.

2 things happened which were pretty amazing given the sheer volume of work I’d lost.

1️⃣ The stress management strategies I talk so frequently about genuinely work! Even under this pretty full-on pressure.

2️⃣ This was an opportunity for me. I’m a procrastinator, I had thousands of unfinished articles, papers, projects and courses on there.

The opportunity to start fresh and zoom in on…
✍️ What genuinely adds value to the field.
✍️ Inspires and interests me.
✍️ Will share my knowledge and experiences in unique environments.
✍️ Help my business grow (need to do not want to do).

I quickly moved from this nightmare situation to an opportunity in a really short space of time.

Since the loss, I’ve chopped so many distractions away and become a bit of a production machine!

Writing about what interests me through the lens of my story.

So.

The moral of the story here is, where can you find an opportunity in the immense struggles you might be experiencing?
