A dash of good luck

Updated: Oct 24, 2020

A dash of good luck becomes a complete game changer. In the last post (What the luck!?), I covered the mindset of luck contributing to success. This post covers its discovery.


If luck augments success, how can we increase its odds?


Experimentation โ€“ Testing more ideas increases the chance one of them will result favorably.


Skill โ€“ Knowing your job and industry leads you to recognize luck when it's near and consider grabbing the opportunity.

โ€œLuck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.โ€ โ€“ Oprah Winfrey

Exploration โ€“ Joining new people and groups increases connections and likelihood to meet someone who can help.


Openness โ€“ Planning is useful, but your aims may evolve, so look beyond the turbulence to view new possibilities.


Attentiveness โ€“ Noticing ways your team, clients, and the market solve tough problems leads to game changers.


Imagination โ€“ Envisioning wonderful and horrific scenarios expands perception and may identify breakthrough ideas.


Goodwill โ€“ Offering others support and advice forces new awareness as you help solve problems.


Leadership is about taking advantage of every opportunity, even peripheral and unexpected ones.


In cooking, adding a dash of a flavorful spice can upgrade the recipe from good to amazing. In leadership, recognizing and maximizing luck could enrich your success.*



* โ€œGetting a high Return on Luck requires throwing yourself at the luck event with ferocious intensity, disrupting your life, and not letting up.โ€ This article covers maximizing luck.
