OPPORTUNITY

My name is Christopher Peter and welcome to The Christopher Peter Review.

America is known as the land of opportunity. Opportunity is such a broad economic term. It is the driving force for our economic pursuits. We want the opportunity to elevate our state in life. The opportunity to define our own selves and being. We want the opportunity to live in safe, vibrant, and growing communities. We want to achieve our piece of the American Dream.

What will you do with the opportunities that you currently experience or will experience in the future? That is what really matters. What happened in the past or with someone else is not relevant to your experience. When opportunity knocks are you ready to answer the door and make something out of it?

I do not think enough is made to show how people each and every day make lemonade when all they have is lemon. For instance, the successful entrepreneurs who come from less fortunate backgrounds and find financial success through ambition, ingenuity, and hard work. Those are the stories we need to hear.

So many people will complain about perceived unfairness or accept being victim of circumstance. Instead, we need to see how people saw their situation and found ways to make it better. The opportunities afforded to your parents are not the same ones you will experience. Over time, opportunities change and people need to adapt.

In this podcast episode, I discuss how the technology fueling the gig economy is providing many the opportunity to experience economic freedom. In addition, I comment on the message Joe Biden offered for his re-election bid. Please experience this podcast episode below.
