"Rise early, work hard, strike oil."
J. Paul Getty
This is Mr. Getty's prescription for success. In other words, never discount the importance of luck.
But it is the first two that increase the chances of the third ever happening. I would change "strike oil" or "luck" to "create opportunity".
Whatever it is you make or do, do you include attempting to create opportunity as part of your efforts?
Maybe you should.

You're right. We can react or act and acting is always better.
ReplyDeleteSales people are called "rain makers" with "rain" meaning sales. In other words they don't wait for sales to come to them, they make them happen, at least the good ones.
ReplyDeleteEverything in business should be that way. Don't wait for good things to happen or worse, assume that what you've always done will continue to work.
Define whatever success you want and work hard to make it happen. It won't always but it will more often than if you simply do wait.
