We’ve all met people whom we thought were “so lucky”. We humans tend to think luck is behind our lives’ misfortunes and successes; however, deep inside, we know that luck has nothing to do with what happens in our existence, don’t we? What we so despairingly call luck is just the set of actions and beliefs of the “lucky” people, and how they apply them to business and their lives.
Individuals who are “lucky” in business and life, happen to share eight distinctive characteristics:
1. They talk to everyone
Strangers are intimidating to most of us, however, many great experiences can result from talking to people we don’t know. You never know… you might get ‘lucky’!
2. They love small talk
Many people disregard small talk because they see it as unproductive. What they forget is that small talk can lead to the big talk when they least expect it.
3. They ‘drop’ names
Although some may think that individuals that drop names are showoffs, one may find common ground and open doors when discovering you both know the same people. There is indeed a way of dropping names with class.
