At the last Startup Club event, I asked Geoffrey Kwitko if he believed in luck and after much discussion Michael Kubler finally chimed in with a quote from Roman philosopher Seneca, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
I couldn't agree more. It's funny that the second I got some more focus in my life, finances and business; my luck started to change. This was no coincidence. It was like, I was suddenly wearing a sign that said "looking for opportunities." Because I was preparing for success, everytime opportunity came a knocking, I was ready to capitalise.
So my thoughts on luck? Ditch the lotto tickets, ditch the pokies, ditch the TAB. The odds are stacked against you, the house always wins! Instead, make your own luck by looking for opportunities to make more money the old fashioned way, and be prepared to make the most of any opportunities that come your way.
