Want To Know The REAL Strategic Reason To Always Show Up…?
In my Hard Work Ain’t Enough Masterclass (it’s free), I mention the element of timing.
Many people think “timing” means fortuitous things happening at fortuitous times. That can surely be part of it, but that kind of thing can’t be strategized for. Luck does matter when it comes to success, but planned luck isn’t actually luck.
Here’s your strategy for that planned luck that anyone can work: Showing up — but not just showing up anywhere at random times and hoping.
I’m talking about showing up at a handful of specific places ALL the time.
What places, though? Well, let’s work backwards.
Luck is said to happen when preparation meets opportunity. Based on where you want to be in your life, where’s the opportunity?
If you’re a model, it’s photoshoots and casting calls.
Writer? Google Docs or WordPress.
Athlete? Some games to play in.
Community activist? A cause that people can rally behind.
The preparation part is your job to handle.
A prepared athlete who plays in a ton of games will eventually have a great game.
