You must prepare yourself for any unexpected opportunity that is upcoming. The following story is just that.
“United Breaks Guitars" is a song, a protest song by Canadian musician Dave Carroll. The song is a real-life experience of how his guitar was broken during a flight trip on United Airlines in 2008 and how the airline showed complete indifference toward his complaint.
The song became an immediate hit upon its release in July 2009 and it also became an embarrassment for the airline.
According to a report, within 4 weeks of the video being posted online, the stock price of United Airlines fell 10%.
Interestingly, Dave Carroll and the guitar manufacturer Taylor became famous almost overnight. This story inspires a lot of people who are waiting for an opportunity to build their stage.
Now business owners must be careful. A guy looking for an opportunity could be around.
