How to seize an opportunity

How to seize an opportunity
Bootstrap entrepreneurs must not only be prepared to change direction quickly in the case of an obstacle as explained in the previous post.

They must also be ready to seize an opportunity when it presents itself without loosing focus of their objectives.

I was just days away from launching my own bootstrap business to be chronicled in the coming months here on BootStrapMe.com when out of the blue I got a message from this guy in the comment section of my online community at MyBlogLog.com.

George is part of the team that created Blogtronix, a platform integrating blogs, wikislinks, social networking, RSS feeds and other documents that I have been intrigued with since I first stumbled upon it back in August.

Hello Shawn, I read a comment you left on Blogtronix community some time ago, unfortunately I read it today. We can have a demo organized for you for the entire Blogtronix Platform, just say so ...


Wow! I'm ready to go with an inexpensive alternative solution but shot George an e-mail just the same hoping for the best. I can offer him some good exposure on both this and the site for the new venture in exchange for what might be a superior solution, but I can't afford to pay much.

The trade may work and may not. I haven't heard back yet, but as someone said "It never hurts to ask." You can be open to opportunities in your own bootstrap experience without letting them change your focus or disrupt your timetable too much.

Just keep your eyes on the goal. Meanwhile, read more about the team behind Blogtronix here.
