How to create tremendous luck at all times
1. Expand your network.Plain and simple, the number of opportunities you will be exposed to will be determined by the size and quality of your network. The more influential people you know, the more opportunities will come your way.Now I’m not saying you should look at every person you meet with dollar signs in your eyes. That’s the fastest way to make a bad impression. Instead, work on being more outgoing, friendly, and helpful. Meet as many people as you can, and find ways to add value to the lives of those you find interesting. In addition, develop strategies to keep in touch and keep adding value to their lives. What will happen, and this never fails, is that they will bring you opportunities that will transform your life.
2. Expect to succeed.It is an absolute fact that there never is a lack of opportunity. Even in the most difficult of times, you had more potential opportunities than you could have ever acted on. The problem was that you were not noticing them.Your expectations are critical. Lucky people expect great things to happen to them, and unlucky people expect to be unlucky. Both fulfill their expectations. In a study done in the UK, lucky people almost always found money placed in their paths, while unlucky people walked right past the money without even noticing it. The opportunity was the same for both, but the expectations of the lucky people trained their brains to spot it.
3. Trust your intuition.People who are lucky in business, investing, and even in love have something in common: They listen to their gut instincts.Your intuition is your subconscious mind trying to communicate with you. It does so by creating a feeling in your stomach or heart. This feeling is meant to guide you in the right direction - and lucky people heed it. Unlucky people, on the other hand, often ignore their gut instincts and act based on fear, greed, or some other negative emotion. Those are actions they almost always regret.Have you ever noticed that your gut instincts are usually right? The former CEO of GE, Jack Welch, even wrote a book titled Straight From the Gut in which he said leaders should make decisions based on intuition.
4. Turn bad luck into good luck.There are two sides to every situation, a good side and a bad side. The side you see depends upon the way you look at it. Lucky people have a knack for seeing the good, even in the worst circumstances. This creates opportunities out of the ashes of disappointment.Okay. I’ve given you four things to focus on that I guarantee will generate more luck for you.
The question is, will you apply them? If you do, and do it consistently, you will get to live the life most people only dream about.I’m not saying this is going to happen overnight (though it might). But if you give it time, it will happen!
