Why is it that some people have all the luck?
Here's the secret roadmap to finding your own pot of gold...
Want More Luck? Show Up.
I've been lucky because I showed up.
I've been lucky because I took risks.
I've been lucky because I spoke with a stranger.
Luck isn't really luck at all.
It's effort. It's being fearless. It's staying focused. It's movement.
Every breakthrough happened because you were present for it.
That workshop you almost skipped.
That coffee meeting you didn't want to take.
That email you almost didn't send.
Luck isn't random. It's preparation meeting opportunity.
Watch what happens when you break down "lucky" moments:
"Lucky" networking connection → You showed up to the event
"Lucky" business opportunity → You sent that uncomfortable email
"Lucky" career break → You had the hard conversation
"Lucky" partnership → You took the meeting everyone said was pointless
Here's what I've learned after years of being "lucky":
The universe can't conspire in your favor if you're sitting on the couch.
Opportunity doesn't knock on doors that don't exist.
Fortune doesn't favor the bold—it favors the present.
Three simple rules that changed my luck:
Say yes to one uncomfortable thing each week
Have one conversation with zero agenda
Show up even when you don't feel like it
Especially when you don't feel like it.
Because here's the truth about luck:
It's not about being in the right place at the right time.
It's about being in enough places enough times.
Your turn: What "lucky" break came from simply showing up?
Keep showing up,
Jeff
P.S. That thing you're debating attending next week? Go. The email sitting in your drafts folder? Send it.
Your future "lucky" self will thank you.
