What does this look like to you?
Is it a page full of birds or fish...or BOTH?
At first glance it looks like one or the other...but upon closer examination, you see two different things. You can even begin to distinguish when and where the change takes place.
That's PERSPECTIVE!
Find Multiple Perspectives. Before rushing to solve a problem, always make sure you look at it from different perspectives. Looking at it with different eyes is a great way to have instant insight on new, overlooked directions.
For example, if you own a business and are trying to ‘increase sales’, try to view this problem from the point of view of, say, a customer.
From the customer’s viewpoint, this may be a matter of adding features to your product that one would be willing to pay more for.
Rewrite your problem statement many times, each time using one of these different perspectives.
How would your competition see this problem? Your employees? Your mom?
Also, imagine how people in various roles would frame the problem. How would a politician see it? A college professor? A nun? Try to find the differences and similarities on how the different roles would deal with your problem.
Is it a bad market or a market full of opportunity?
Really, it's what YOU say it is! Wouldn't you rather live in a world of opportunity than one where everything is out of your control (buying into "it's a bad market", for example)?
Tell me that people like Warren Buffet aren't looking at all of the opportunity out there right now!
So! On the 5th day of Real Estate, Amanda gave to me.....Change in Perspective.....
