The secret to getting lucky

There are three types of luck:


GOOD LUCK: It happens to someone, and it could be you.


You win the lottery

You’re the millionth customer, and get your widgets for free

You have a heart attack in the street next to a nurse with a defibrillator in her car

A falling tree misses you by inches

The oncoming driver looks up from his phone just in time to swerve away from you


BAD LUCK: It happens to someone, and it could be you.


You get blown up in a terror attack

An engine falls off the aircraft you’re in

You’re born with a congenital heart defect

There’s a tsunami when you’re on holiday

You get struck by lightning


MAKE-YOUR-OWN-LUCK: It happens to someone, who behaves exactly like you 


You get run over by a bus, because you didn’t look before you crossed

You get asked to headline a major conference when they saw you at a local event

You lose 6 hours work to a power cut as you failed to auto-save it

You get evicted from your house after your clients fail to pay you on time

You make seven figures this year because your programme really resonates with your audience


Only the last of those three groups contains evidence of your ability to control the outcomes.


So here’s the only logical way to run your life :


1. Ignore the stuff that may or may not happen whatever you do

2. Work like a maniac on the rest so you get the outcomes you want
