Word of the wise

Do not wait for the right opportunity. Create them. After college, Uttley worked at the Hotel del Coronado, waiting on several celebrities, including Bruce Willis, who invited her to a party he hosted at the hotel. She has regretted not going, but she lacked self-confidence.

Uttley said she missed many other opportunities because of self-doubt.. For years she believed that there were a finite number of opportunities. However, she has since learned that the world changes every minute, and new opportunities show up daily. If you missed the last one, another is just around the corner.

Believing in yourself is one of the most important steps to learning how to identify and embrace opportunities. They rarely happen while in our comfort zone. Having the confidence to engage with new people and situations and try new things opens the door to possibilities beyond your wildest imagination.
