Show Notes
Lets define what we mean by luck. We don’t mean why someone wishes you good luck because this is courtesy. I hate it when people describe my or other success as “lucky” as in “You were so lucky to work with Apple”.
If I am being brutally honest I would say that most people like to classify success as ‘luck’ because it makes it easier for them to deal with and easier for them to rationalize short comings in their careers. I think that luck is the residue of skill.
Luck is being prepared
Luck is being prepared when an opportunity comes along. The problem is most people only start to work, grow and prepare when there is an opportunity in front of them. So they aren’t ready to take advantage of that opportunity and so it passes them by. None of the most success people I know are lucky. They are constantly working for an opportunity even though they don’t know when it will arrive.
Habbits of lucky people
- Work hard
- Don’t complain
- Teach and lead others
- Share credit
- Be kind and humble
- Show gratitude
Bottom line
Success is a choice so make your own luck.
