See. Get! A few weeks ago we were in Connecticut for a visit with friends. On one of our outings we visited a very large antique shop. This had booths set up where various dealers were allowed to show their wares. As we walked by one such booth we noticed a needlepoint map in a frame. To our great surprise it was a map of Bermuda and, to our even greater surprise, it had been done in 1934.

After very little deliberation we decided to purchase it and with help from our friends, wrap it securely for the trip home. So often when we see things we do not always act and this experience got me thinking about how often we do not take advantage of opportunities that are right in front of our eyes!

We all refer to good luck but real luck is when great preparation meets opportunity! So keep your “eyes peeled” for the next big opportunity in your lives and in your business.

Never stop looking but remember — when you do see one — go get it!

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.” - Anatole France

I have attached a photo of this “map” in the event that any of you who see this might know its history! If you do please let me know at dhhills@ibl.bm
