When opportunity knocks

Vanity Fair has been my favorite magazine for many years, but of late Inc. is becoming a very close second. In this month’s Inc. magazine, one of the little stories that caught my eye was titled When Brown is Green and it goes like this…

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
A really ugly brown lawn due to a foreclosure.
Let’s dye you green to help you feel better.
Brilliant idea; even your neighbors like the end result.
Yeah, I should sell this idea.
Knock knock.

And so David Milligan has started a lawn-dyeing division at his company, Alliance Envionrmental & Compliance. Nice! How are you taking advantage of the new opportunities knocking in your neck of the woods?
