While traveling in Italy I became fascinated with the many beautiful doors. I began shooting photos of them even though some people in my tour group thought it was strange. I haven't blogged about my doors yet, but you've encouraged me to get busy displaying them. Scott,

One of the best ways I've found to come across doorways is using Twitter. You can "follow" people to see what they're talking about, and when you find interesting folks, you look at who they're following, and so on. Though I'm a green business consultant and blogger, I've consciously made an effort to branch out to people outside that realm, wide as it is these days. Then, using the Twitter client Twhirl, all these interesting people share about things that are potential doorways. And I share back. Check it out!

I often interview entrepreneurs for my blog about their start up secrets. Many of them started their businesses from seemingly unlikely "opportunities" that don't look like opportunities. To me, it shows their brilliance to find hidden value. This is an excellent post!

This was really helpful to look at things and see what I would like to make time for and actually open those "doors". Once opened I can see that they will become part of my routine rather than a continuous overwhelm. Thanks for this insight. I never thought of some of the things in my life as doors of opportunity.

I may have missed a lot of doorways. I will be alert and proactive in the future. Great Post. I may have missed a lot of doorways. I will be alert and proactive in the future.

The one that hit me between the eyes was to write down all the doorways, big or small, that we see. As Scott points out, we are all leading busy lives, and so much falls by the wayside. So, I think I am going to start my little diary of doors, and see what happens. ty Scott I think Scott has really pulled together some great ideas here.

That comes from going out everyday and keeping our eyes open to all the possibilities. It comes from learning new and exciting things that force us to stretch our minds and move outside our comfort zones.

It reminds me of two of the principles set forth by Michael Gelb to help people think more like Leonardo da Vinci: be curious, and go see for yourself. Little kids are extremely cuious but as adults we tend to stop paying attention to what is not already familiar to us. We also tend to take other people's word for everything instead of going out there and coming up with our own conclusions. What an interesting metaphor!
