1. The Lucky Entrepreneur
If you ask me if there is such a thing as a lucky entrepreneur, I would without hesitation declare
that many entrepreneurs are lucky. That is because I define luck as preparedness meeting
opportunity. Or as Oprah would say “I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity”. Most
of the population operates under the illusion that luck happens to some people while it eludes
almost everyone else.
The smart entrepreneur understands that an open eye and an open mind are key to finding the
success that others are unable to grasp and command. The open eye is required to see when an
opportunity is before them. An open mind is necessary to be able to see opportunities where
most other people see problems or obstacles. An open mind is also the ability to place your ego
and pride aside and have a very open mind to other ideas that people bring to the table.
Our brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts which we hold in our minds, these
magnets attract to us the forces the people the circumstances of life which harmonized with the
nature of our dominating thoughts. If your dominating thoughts are those of success and
opportunity, your life will attract those very things to you. For those entrepreneurs who are open
and receptive, luck and opportunity will be ahead of them.
“As an entrepreneur you always have to maintain a
spirit of open-mindedness”

2. I’ve tried to live my life as an explorer, discovering and taking advantage of opportunities others
may not have because of the fear of being wrong, I’ve come to realize that there is nothing
wrong about being wrong. Eloise Ristad said
“When we give ourselves permission to fail, we, at the same
time give ourselves permission to excess”
As an entrepreneur there is one thing for certain, you will be wrong many, many times but “luck”
shines upon those who take a risk, fail, get up and persist again.
