On luck and business
What is luck? Is it really something we can’t control, or can we make luck happen? Student entrepreneur Ben Casnocha, CEO of e-government software company Comcate, Inc, gives some tips on how to create luck for yourself based on his own experiences. See if you concur with Ben’s list:
“Expose yourself to as much randomness as possible. Read books no one else is reading. Talk to people no one else is talking to. That’s luck. That’s randomness.”
“Every time luck doesn’t go my way, I believe a piece of good luck is right around the corner.”
“Trick yourself. Self-deception is essential to maintain high self-esteem. It’s okay to take more credit than you deserve, in your own mind, for successes. It’s okay to think you can outwork and out-passion anyone who competes with you. Stay humble on the outside, but consider yourself unstoppable on the inside.”
As a bookworm myself, I heartily agree with the first point. Anything that stimulates the formation of ideas is great, whether it’s books, blogs, or films. The others reflect the power of positive thinking, and I think one need not read “The Secret” just to know it’s effective.
How about you? How do you create luck for yourself?
