You Snooze, You Lose – Missed Opportunities

You snooze you lose

You snooze, you lose!⠀
⠀
This morning my daughter woke us up at 7:30am (on a Saturday) to inform us that it snowed overnight and she was ready to go out and play.⠀
⠀
I was like wha?!? I was hoping to sleep until at least 8:30!⠀
⠀
I told her no, went back to sleep and got up at 8:30 to do some journaling and the rest of my morning routine.  She was giving me a look so I told her I’d be ready by 10. She wasn’t happy about that and complained but I still kept holding her off.⠀Even though I wanted to go out in the snow (photo opp) there were a few things I wanted to get done before heading out.
⠀
But she was right!  By 10am, the beautiful soft first snow of the season was already turning into sloppy NYC slush because it started to rain!⠀
⠀
I felt really bad because I know she was disappointed and for myself I was looking forward to getting some great photos in.⠀
⠀
Lesson learned in life and biz – seize the opportunities while they are there right in your face!⠀
⠀
If you wait and sit on things long enough, the opportunity will be gone.⠀
⠀
Start practicing making decisions faster and being a quick action taker now – not later!
