I make my own luck.
Fate is unreliable, unpredictable, and frankly, unverifiable. So rather than rely on the luck of fate, I use my own resources to create luck that I can depend on.
I make my own luck by preparing, being diligent, and thinking outside-of-the-box. These three characteristics can make any average Joe one of the luckiest men in the world!
I don’t depend on luck to get what I want. With my entrepreneurial mindset, I prepare before executing my plans and diligently works toward success while my plans are in motion.
Coming upon luck truly is as simple as plugging preparation, diligence and Mindset Enhanced™
strategic thinking together.
For example, if I see a home I want to buy, rather than simply put in a lowball offer and hope that the seller desperately accepts my bid, I make a plan.
I search public records to analyze the most recent sales prices of the home and whether the price is on par with the local market. I then create a fair, yet competitive offer and provide an incentive to help nudge the seller to choose my bid over another buyer’s.
I can take the logic from this example and apply it to just about any journey I embark on. I make my own luck because relying on the kindness of life for my "lucky break" is too risky.
Today, I create my own luck. I decide which challenge I choose to take on and prepare a strategic plan outlining exactly how I can achieve my goals.
