look out for possibilities

one has little or no control on situations. but how can you come out of a bad situation or make the most from a good situation. have a hawk eye! look for possibilities and make the most of it. recently as a part of business deal we had to organize a corporate offsite for a three day offsite at a popular destination called corbett national park. because of some shoddy vendor management from our end ( MY END ) we were unable to get reservations at the destination. our vendor cancelled our booking. this was done 6 hrs before departure ( imagine 60 participants all set for offsite and the vendor pulling off at the last minute). now the situation was "it was a extended week-end i had little control on that. all the resorts were full, up and running. the only way was either to cancel the trip or do it at any other destination. the later was ruled out. i mustered the courage to call the client and wanted to inform him that it was just not happening. tho at the back of my mind i was scanning uttaranchal and himachal to figure out where to accommodate. there we found a place that was brand new and they were willing to take us in.

PERFECT was how the holiday was described by the client at the end of their offsite. but in the bargain we have fumbled upon a destination that is a gold mine. under normal circumstances we would never have tried this place. but looking for this possibility unlocked a whole new hidden opportunity.

so guys LOOK OUT FOR POSSIBILITIES!
