LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- The book, which is now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook formats, aims to help readers recognize genuine opportunities and act decisively before they are lost.
Igwealor, who has been a licensed California Real Estate Broker since 2005 and holds degrees in accounting, economics, business administration, finance, risk management, and law, wrote the book based on his extensive experience in public and private companies across four continents. The book, which spans 47 chapters in nine parts, provides a six-step method for identifying and acting on opportunities promptly.
The book's title, "OPPORTUNISTIC," is a reclaimed term that Igwealor defines as being alert, prepared, and willing to act decisively and ethically when the moment is right. He argues that most people fail not because they miss opportunities but because they hesitate and watch them close. The book uses two key images to explain the importance of timing: the blacksmith who strikes when the metal is hot and the melted ice cream that can never return to its original state.
Igwealor's method begins by training the reader to notice change and test whether an apparent opening is real or a mirage. The book introduces the "last responsible moment," the point past which waiting stops being prudent and starts being costly. It also puts a price on hesitation, using a "shadow ledger" to track the hidden costs of delay. The author draws on historical, business, and scriptural examples to illustrate the importance of acting quickly, such as Julius Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon and the contrast between Ulysses S. Grant and George McClellan during the Civil War.
The book's signature tool, the STRIKE Decision Protocol, consists of six steps: 1. See It, name the opportunity and its window precisely. 2. Test It, identify the two or three facts that would change the answer. 3. Rate the Downside, ask what the worst plausible outcome would cost, and whether you can survive it. 4. Instruct the Action, spell out exactly what will be done, by whom, and by when. 5. Kick Off Within 48 Hours, make the first move while the iron is hot. 6. Evaluate at a Set Review Point, set the date and the measure for checking whether it is working.
The book covers the first 24 hours after a choice, ethical and legal guardrails, and how to recover when a moment has passed. It then applies the framework to entrepreneurship, investing, careers, relationships, and leadership. Eleven appendices turn the method into working tools, including a 20-question genuine-opportunity checklist, an opportunity timing and urgency matrix, a STRIKE decision worksheet, a 48-hour action plan, and a one-page field card.
The book, a 7×10-inch print edition of about 670 pages, with nine parts, 47 chapters, eleven appendices, a case-study index, and a recommended-reading list, is available now from Amazon, ElevenReader, and other retailers. Other formats include a Kindle edition and an audiobook narrated by a synthetic voice.
