Here is an excerpt (to the best of my ability) of a quick "Opportunity Knocks" example.

"Opportunity knocks more than once, but you got to open the door to take advantage of the possibilities.  Sometimes I am that opportunity, but I was still unsure of how to present this to my friends and other prospects. You see I wanted to make sure that my friends (in the future) did not "have a leg to stand on" later when they asked "how come you didn't give me the opportunity to decide if I wanted in or not?" So, I stressed over how to approach my valued friends BUT the need to move on was growing. So I knocked on my friend, Joseph's door, and I proceeded to introduce him to my business opportunity. Of course, he declined...but my future is taking shape.  I learned from his and my other friend's "polite, understanding, sympathetic NOs".  We are all great friends still hanging and for those who already said NO, that was it. No further discussion to persuade.  The 50-year old business system  foundation is RESPECT.
