"You've got to make opportunities come to you - you have to lay the foundation and then keep walking, just keep walking" - Davina McCall

When I listened to her speak on the Diary of a CEO podcast, I just new I had to share.

Not only is her principle of "just keep walking" great life advice, but it's great for business too.

We HAVE to create opportunities.

Sounds obvious, right?

But it's amazing just how many times we leave money on the table.

Soundbites:

"Let's say you spoke to a potential customer who was interested in what you offer but you didn't hear back from them.  Many of us just leave it there for fear of being pushy.  But imagine if you followed up?"

"And it really ties in with leading things like marketing with relationships.  The other day, I messaged a connection ... and she said, I keep meaning to book a call with you - would you send me your link?"

Enjoy :-)
