Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation

I love that quote, “Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation” because it is so true. I’ve spent my life continually learning and have found that the opportunities come left and right, often more quickly than I can take advantage of.

And with my recent decisions to stop focusing on just work and money (I think I could add a lot to my income with some side projects I’m no longer going to do) I told a friend yesterday that “success occurs when opportunity meets preparation AND you want to do it”. I’m putting my energy into other things now.

Well this morning when I went downstairs to put an hour or so on the bike trainer I found my son, who is usually asleep until at least 7 or 8am, wide awake and playing a video game.

Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation, eh? No bike ride this morning (will have to do a night ride like last night) but an hour with my son – just him and me and no distractions.

Success!
