Increase The “Surface Area” Of Your Luck

Have you ever heard the advice, “Give yourself a lot of shots to get lucky”? At first glance, it might seem like a simple saying, but there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye.

This piece of wisdom reminds us that luck isn’t just something that happens randomly. It’s not a matter of pure chance; it’s something we can influence and create for ourselves. In fact, it’s like a snowball that grows bigger as it rolls downhill.

I’ve personally experienced this phenomenon while growing my business from nothing to a multi-million dollar enterprise in a few years. People often ask me how I and my team managed to do it, and my answer is always the same – We are lucky because we did work that increased the possibility of success for us.

Here’s how it works: When you give yourself more opportunities and put yourself out there, you increase your chances of getting lucky. It’s not about waiting for good fortune to strike; it’s about creating the conditions for luck to happen.

When you meet new people, explore new ideas, and connect the dots between different concepts, you’re essentially expanding your “surface area” for luck. The more you do this, the more likely you are to stumble upon unexpected opportunities and find success.

So, the next time you’re faced with a challenge or a goal, remember that creating your own luck is all about increasing your surface area – taking more shots at it. Don’t just wait for luck to knock on your door; go out there and make it happen!
