When Does Opportunity Come Knocking?

There are times in life that opportunity presents itself that are more ideal than others. I am a firm believer in creating out own opportunities when none are being thrown our way. Anna Vital, of Funders and Founders, created an infographic that depicts the best times in life to start a business (or another one).

When you started your business, was it at any one of the points of opportunity she mentions? When I started Polaris Administrative Concepts, I had a six-month old baby. I was at a point where I was desperate to stay at home with my daughters (the infant was girl #2) while contributing to the household income. I think the figurative "Window of Opportunity" IS that feeling of desperation. It can be what drives us to either create or hunt down entrepreneurial opportunities.
