Learned Any "Secrets" Lately?by Cathy BryantCopyright 2002http://www.homebizjunction.comI mean, REAL secrets about business success - the ones that will make you rich?You know as well as I that there really isn't any such thingas a secret - just a truth that you haven't discovered yet.(I read that somewhere and I don't know who said it - but itis profound).The SECRET is - discover your own truths - the ones that will help grow your business. Use your imagination; it'samazing what the mind can conjure up if we slow down andlisten to our natural intuition.Having been in various businesses over the years, I havelearned that opportunities exist everywhere! For example,just recently my daughter signed a lease on an apartment inher college town, only to discover two weeks before she wasto move in that major repairs needed to be made. When weasked the landlord about it, he refused to do them - andalso refused to let her out of the lease.Naturally, that prompted good ol' mom to undertake a seriousinvestigation of the options my daughter had to get out fromunder this lease so that she could find a more suitable placeto live. And guess what I discovered?That this landlord had violated a federal statute when hefailed to provide her with something he is required by lawto give her when renting this particular type of rental unit.But he didn't do it deliberately - he just wasn't familiarwith the law. So if he wasn't familiar with it, how many OTHER landlords aren't?See where I'm going here?My research further revealed that only about 30% of landlordsare complying with this regulation, even though the law hasbeen in effect since 1996. And if it is discovered that theyare not providing this information to lessees, they can besubject to substantial fines and penalties - up to $10,000per violation.So do you think they might spend $15-$20 on a packet thata) informs them of this law,b) provides information regarding compliance with the law, andc) includes a copy of the form they are to provide tenants?I think they might.Just one example of how an everyday occurrence can put thegerm of an idea in one's mind about another unique way toearn money.Finding a need somewhere - no matter how obscure you maythink it is - means that someone needs to fill it. Perhapsthat someone could be you!Don't be afraid to let your mind "wander." Although you maythink it's a waste of time, daydreaming about businessopportunities and ways to generate an income can bring to the surface ideas that may never occur to you otherwise.And that's what being an entrepreneur is all about!
