Have you ever read an article about somebody who was successful because they were born into wealth or they were at the right place at the right time? A Greek shipping tycoon that is worth billions and started with millions from his father? A couple of guys that were able to create an internet business because they hit it big when they cashed their stock options from Microsoft?
You might have thought, “Well, that’s great, but they were lucky, I’d be successful if I was in their shoes.” So you weren’t as lucky. Maybe you worked for a company that never made it big during the rah rah 90’s. Or maybe, your lineage didn’t include the Rockefellers or Vanderbilts. So what. It’s time that you created your own luck.
If you think there is no way you’ll get that lucky, you’re right. But if you think you’re going to get lucky someday, you’re right as well.
Luck isn’t the same for everybody. Sometimes your luck might be that you come up with an idea because you saw a news segment on TV. Or you happen to find somebody willing to loan you $1,000 to get you started. Luck is varying and different for everybody, what you do with it is your choice.
How can you make your own luck? First, you have to realize that you’re going to have to work for it. Second, make sure you know that LUCK it isn’t always what you think it’s going to be. Here are some pointers:
* Talk to everyone. Luck sometimes means having connections. Even though a direct connection might not have what you need, they might know someone who does.
