OPPORTUNITY

􀂙 What opportunity means

Opportunity is the chance given to a Leo whether an Alpha Leo or Omega Leo for self development.

It is said that opportunity does not knock at our doors twice.

Leos have such wonderful opportunities to achieve certain goals in their lives. These goals will help Leos understand better their limiting abilities as well as their unlimited abilities potential.

Leos will be able to have real and concrete opportunities to develop abilities in:

􀂃 leadership

􀂃 team building

􀂃 community service

􀂃 nation building

􀂃 organising skills

􀂃 public speaking

􀂙 Opportunity to solve a problem

An opportunity for a Leo has to be understood and tapped. An opportunity which is guided and encouraged leads to countless success.

Many stories are told where a man/woman makes good in life because an opportunity led to the concretisation of a simple goal which in turn led to many sub-goals which finally brought on the change in the person. Leos are shown that the world has many opportunities.

How can I solve this problem?

Is every problem an opportunity for a Leo?

Opportunities abound because Leos are:
