An Opportunity always exists in every New World - By: Caroline Makepeace

We had the pleasure of visiting Boone Hall yesterday which is an old plantation home in Charleston. You may recognize it as it has been featured in various movies such as ‘North and South’ and my favorite ‘The Notebook.’ Through my tour of the agricultural estate I learned that we can easily follow their examples by seizing upon the New World opportunities of today.

Boone Hall began as an indigo plantation and with the turn of each new owner it changed to a brick manufacturing plant and cotton plantation to the world’s largest pecan tree farm and now to agricultural and tourism. Each new owner saw the opportunity of his time and created significant wealth from it. They moved and adapted to the demands and waves of their eras. They had vision and foresight and so for over 300 years Boone Hall has been a productive and wealthy asset for its many owners.

An incredible opportunity existed for people like John Boone back in the beginnings of the New World. Government grants were given to opportunity seekers so they could cultivate the land and help the New World expand and flourish. Wealth was there for the taking. You basically just had to put up your hand and dare to say “Yes, I’ll take it!”

This was all you needed to do. You didn't have to be a lord, or successful business person or even have significant wealth. Anyone could venture into the New World as an unknown with virtually nothing and form that they could create millions and a legacy that could be passed down for generations. In Australia, similar opportunities arose for the pardoned convicts who were granted acres of fertile land to then grow into empires. Imagine- convicts turned into wealthy and prosperous families!

In our times now, there are no 'New Worlds' that have just been discovered where we can get acres of land for next to nothing and grow massive wealth from. But there is an abundance of 'New World' opportunities that exist before each and everyone of us. Like John Boone, you just have to see it, put your hand up in the air and shout "Yes, I'll take it!"

We have seen many new waves of New World opportunities throughout history that have created incredible wealth for those with the courage to capitalize on it : agricultural, industrial, technological and today we see the appearance of the informational age. This informational era is the New World of Opportunity we are now entering and standing at the brink of.

Many people will miss it and so be left wondering why they were born too late and missed all the opportunities that were given to others so easily many years ago. Others will be slow to catch on and so come in too late. There will be some who will have the vision and foresight to see the opporunities that lie before them in this New World of ours and so will capitalize on it immediately. They will be our rich and well-known families of the future.

You don’t have to have any business skills or lots of money to claim a piece of the pie. It’s an even playing field and one you can create significant wins from. You can create a fortune from virtually nothing. Opportunity lies all around you. The question is first “Do you have enough vision to see it?'” and second “Do you have enough courage to seize it?” and lastly “Are you willing to work to grow it"?”
