6. Reach the Opportunity
Sometimes we keep waiting for big opportunities; even though we are talented enough, we don't get big offers. We must remember: no matter how hungry you are, it is you who has to go to the dining table and serve the food. Food won't come flying to your sofa in the hall.
Similarly, we have to go to the place or the person in order to obtain the opportunity we are looking for. You cannot wait for the world to discover you; you must put yourself where the action is.
6.1) A.R. Rahman
Instead of waiting in his Chennai studio, he reached out to Mani Ratnam in 1991 with his music samples and CDs.
This direct move led to his debut in Roja, changing Indian music forever and eventually taking him to the Oscars in Los Angeles.
6.2) Priyanka Chopra Jonas
Despite being a superstar in Mumbai, she moved to the USA to give auditions like a newcomer and network with Hollywood producers.
By reaching the right geography, she successfully transitioned from Bollywood to becoming a global icon on the international stage.
6.3) Jasprit Bumrah
Overlooked by major teams, he didn't stay home; he reached the training grounds as a net bowler to perform directly before the coaches.
His decision to go to the ground in 2013 earned him an agreement with Mumbai Indians, making him the world’s most feared bowler.
6.4) Bata Shoes
Realizing they couldn't capture the Indian market from Czechoslovakia, the company reached India in 1931 to set up a factory in Batanagar.
By physically going to where the customers were, they became a household name and one of the largest shoe retailers in the country.
