Luck is probably N1 contributor in building a successful business.
I know 4 levels of getting lucky.
Level 1: Luck comes to you.
This is when luck happens without you doing anything. It can be like winning the lottery, getting money from a family member who passed away, or finding hidden treasure.
Level 2: You make your own luck through hustling.
This is when you work really hard on something like a book, product, or business and make it really good. At some day hustling pays off by gods of luck and your effort becomes “over night success”.
Level 3: You are a hunter for luck.
At this level, you get good at finding chances to succeed in what you do. This can be like investing in other people's good ideas or buying stocks in companies like Nvidia or Tesla a long time ago.
Level 4: You're a magnet for luck.
You build a very unique personal brand or special knowledge, attracting people who have found luck to come and share their fortune with you. Lets say you build a unicorn tech company in agriculture, everyone involved in agriculture will aspire to collaborate with you and share in the success.
The well-known outlier is Elon Musk who constantly gets $10B+ opportunities very often.
My current level of luck is between 3, working on 4. Reply to this email sharing your “Level of luck” and story.
