Synopsis

"When Opportunity Knocks" is a manual for all those ready and willing to exploit the opportunities they encounter or create. It will encourage and help two groups numbering in the millions: owners of small businesses seeking to expand or diversify; and all the ambitious people stuck in dead-end jobs or laid off prior to or in the current "joyless recovery" who want to start their own businesses and become independent.

The book details the great variety of opportunities and those who exploit them; characteristics of successful opportunists; blunders to avoid; and how and where to find profitable opportunities. Ambitious executives with large companies will find the same information very useful for advancing their careers.
