But before she closed up shop com- pletely, she sent out a press release to major newspapers announcing her plan and also recommending other publications for her readers to consider. And she warned them against one. Mine. No kidding. She trashed me and my newsletter in the national media. I was devastat- ed. But not for long. I decided to turn this obstacle into an opportu- nity. I wrote up my own press release, and sent it to dozens of newspapers that had carried the story. I didn't respond at all to what she'd said about Cheapskate Monthly, but instead made a blan- ket offer to all of her subscribers. I offered to honor all of her sub- scribers' remaining months on their subscription to the now-defunct publication with the same number of months to Cheapskate Monthly. I wanted to give these people an opportunity to decide for them- selves if Cheapskate Monthly more than made up for the loss they were about to suffer from the discontin- ued publication. I wanted a chance to prove to them that their publisher was wrong. It worked! We built our readership by leaps and bounds overnight, and many of those peo- ple have stayed with us all these many years later. Lukas Kmit, an accomplished musician, was invited to play the viola at a synagogue in Slovakia. Just as he was approaching the pinna- cle of a very challenging passage, the cellphone of some thoughtless per- son in the audience rang out. Lukas, annoyed momentarily, looked up, quickly assessed the sit- uation and then, without hesitation, improvised flawlessly by playing along with the ringtone melody. On the viola. It's not like he had the music in front of him. He made it up on the fly, striking the tune in the same key, just as if he'd been planning this for the longest time. At the conclusion, the audience burst forth in applause, clearly astonished by the talent of this young man. A wry smile crept across his face as he gave a nod to the offending attendee. Had it not been for that person failing to silence his cellphone, I doubt whether any of us would have ever known the name Lukas Kmit. But now more than 2.5 million people have viewed the video of an otherwise obscure event -- and all because Lukas decided to turn an obstacle into an opportunity. What obstacle are you Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate facing today? As long as you see it as a problem, it will control your life. But the sooner you can force your brain to see this as an opportunity, the sooner you will defeat that obsta- cle and be on your way. I can't promise you an audience of 2.5 million will give you a standing ovation, but you'll get to experience the joy of overcoming a difficult situation.
