luck: noun: a force that makes things happen
You want more luck? Be the force that makes it happen…
- Prepare. Work hard to be ready for the opportunities that are vital to you. Research. Practice. Perfect.
- Be awake. Pay attention to the people, events, and things around you. Evaluate logically and entrust your gut instinct.
- Take action. Place yourself out there. Explore. Be vulnerable. Make contact with people. Take risks.
- Expect clear results. Optimism improves your chances. If (when) you fail, embrace the lesson and continue on, smarter.
That’s it. Now go be fortunate (and sell something).
