Discovering Opportunities in Scary Times

In this episode of 10xTalk, Dan Sullivan and Joe Polish discuss how entrepreneurs can spot opportunities during challenging times. They emphasize that rather than focusing on what is wrong or lost, entrepreneurs should tap into their own capabilities and think about how they can be useful to others. They provide an example of a restaurant owner who adapted their business by supplying products to customers who couldn't find them in supermarkets. The key is to shift perspective and explore ways to add value in new ways. The hosts stress the importance of avoiding comparisons with others and focusing on personal growth and improvement.
