How To Make Your Luck

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

Have you noticed that some people seem to get luckier than others?

Have you also noticed that they are not just sitting around collecting luck?

Getting lucky is almost always the result of taking action on an opportunity that presents itself. Even finding a twenty-dollar bill on the sidewalk resulted from having the chance to take a walk - and doing it.

There are three rules to attracting more luck into your life:

1) Get in the habit of seeking and recognizing opportunities that cross your path every day. They may be hidden, so keep your eyes open.

2) When you spot one, immediately decide if taking action will move you closer to your goals.

3) If your heart and soul tell you to go for it, jump in with both feet, commit to your action, and get busy turning that opportunity into the luck you’ve been seeking.

In the future, when somebody asks how you’ve been so lucky in your life, tell them that you like to stay busy. The rest takes care of itself.
