Every successful person needs a bit of luck. You were once lucky to meet someone, you were at the right time in the right place, you were born at the right time, you noticed what others didn‘t notice. Of course, you also have to work and you won’t pay for electricity with luck alone. But you can also steer your luck in the right direction, you can be lucky on purpose. To do this, YOU need to create windows of opportunity yourself and not expect miracles.
1. Boost networking
Who stops you from meeting different people in large numbers? Nobody. It‘s simple math: the bigger the social circle, the bigger the likelihood of luck. You can meet new people on Instagram in the comments section, at events, or even on a plane with the people sitting next to you. Who knows, maybe this shy girl you meet every day on the bus will soon become a successful food blogger and start working with well-known brands. The main thing is to really communicate and be interested in a person.
2. Be in the “right” places
When you look at companies being created in Silicon Valley that earn billions (and even trillions), then who is stopping you from being in the same “right” place? If you know that successful entrepreneurs eat in this cafe, who is stopping you from having lunch there too? Look for the “right” places and spend as much time there as possible. Sooner or later you will find yourself not only in the “right” place, but also at the “right” time.
3. Look for opportunities
It may sound esoteric to “program yourself” to look for opportunities, but there is nothing esoteric about it. If you decide to get pregnant, there are suddenly more pregnant women in your city. There probably aren‘t any more of them, you just began to notice them. The same rule applies to business opportunities.
4. Try again.
Didn‘t work the first time? Try a second time. If the second time didn‘t work, try 278 more times. The more often you try the greater the chance of success.
5. Learn
Learning is generally a cool tool. It reduces the number of times you‘re unsuccessful and also allows you to use the opportunities to the max.
