Podcast #44: Why "Luck" Has Nothing to Do With it

So many people throw that word around — "luck" — when discussing success in LA. 

"I got lucky when I booked that job!"

"I was in the right place at the right time, I just got lucky!"

"You're moving to LA? I hope you get lucky. How else will you make it?"

I simply don't agree with any of these statements, and as long as you're fed this information, you'll constantly feel defeated before you even begin. I don't want you to feel that way because your dreams ARE possible without being "lucky".

Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.

- Oprah

I don't think "big breaks" come from being lucky. I think they come from being prepared and creating opportunities in your career. I also think our careers are made up of a lot of little breaks and not necessarily ONE big break. If one break doesn't work out, there will be many more to come. You can't "blow it" on a big break and never find success again. 

People worry that they got to the dock and they missed their boat. But there is always another one coming.

- Abraham Hicks

If you haven't been "lucky" yet, here are things you can try to change that:

  1. Try something new
  2. Learn more
  3. Visualize
  4. Breathe, let go, and believe that it's coming
