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.
Is money really the source of all the evil on Planet Earth. Well, this is a rather difficult question.
I have seen too many people fail in business by complicating things and spending all there time trying to figure it out. I believe it is hard for anyone with a technical background to realize that why you are trying to figure out a system. The rest of us just go to work by setting our goals, managing our activity daily and do it.
