15 steps to Create your own luck
Rich people and poor people think about luck differently. When poor people think about luck, they think of good things happening to them; for the rich on the other hand it is more about unexpected bad things that are not under their control #1

interfering with what they are already doing. Confused? Here’s how you can do the same, issathread.
Step 1: UNDERSTAND HOW LUCKY YOU ALREADY ARE: You& #39;re already living a fairly good life, able to read this motivational/educative content on whatever device you are using #2

in the comfort of ur home, car, etc surrounded by a bunch of stuff u already get to enjoy. Life is good, and yes I know it can be better and this is what this thread is for. But without understanding just how lucky you are to be alive right now, u won’t b able 2 appreciate #3
the things that are waiting for you. You could have died by now, you have some people who care about you, you have a home, be grateful for this, remind yourself often just how blessed you really are. Take this opportunity and write down four things u are grateful for in life. #4
Step 2: VENTURE INTO THE UNKNOWN, TRY SOME NEW HABITS: Doing more of what you’ve done will get you the same results you are getting. If there was any luck in what you were doing you’ve probably used it all. SO you need to go find luck in other places. #5
Most people think luck will come to them when in reality, you accidentally run into it. The best you can do is to pick up new habits, change old ones and see where they take you. An example is Mr. A who picks up a gym habit, he meets a guy they become friends, #6
guy invites him to a party where he meets the woman who he is now marrying. It is still luck but it would never have happened if he had stayed at home all day watching Netflix and eating eba and soup.

In the last two weeks of your life you have come close to not only one but two life changing opportunities, I am now only just making you aware of them. There’s an almost infinite number of variables going on in your life around you #8
Every week you can make one decision that changes your life completely. Here’s a quick experiment, if I asked anyone to go out and look for grey cars, you would suddenly notice them, you’d see the car models, the licence plate, who is driving, #9
because you are making an effort to see the red car. But if at the end of the day I ask you how many people were wearing jeans, you go vex because I made you look at grey cars, what the hell do the jeans have to do with anything. #10
This experiment is called the invisible gorilla and it proves that if people are focused on one thing, everything else becomes a blur. And what did you do for the past couple of years, you focused on your day to day stuff, your jobs, your to-do list, #11
you’re missing opportunities because you are not looking up around you.
Step 4: SEARCH FOR AND APPLY TO EVERY OPPORTUNITY: Now that we understand that we have to look for opportunities our behaviour will change. #12

With your eyes and ears open wide, you are casually going about your day; from chat to chat you hear about a new opening in a firm, you hear about your neigbhour trying to sell off his car quickly because he is travelling out, #13
you notice business events taking place that will benefit u, or classes about a passion of urs. The more u look, the more dis opportunities will show up. However the hard part of dis is sendin the application emails for these opportunities, callin ur neigbhour about the car, #14
buying tickets for these business events. Other people are seeing this opportunities as well, but a small portion of the population takes advantage of this action when they see something they are interested in. Almost everybody else postpones it until it fades into a #15
what-could-have-been category. A wise person once said “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” and the funny thing is you only need to hit one of those shots and your life upgrades immensely.
Step 5: GET REALLY GOOD AT ONE THING: In order to make the most out of every #16

opportunity, you have to have a key that gets you through the door otherwise you’re just walking past the building . This is where you should be strategic with your life. Take something u feel you could be great at, nd master it. Going laser sharp at one thing will give you #17
the competitive advantage to make sense of opportunities others are missing. Wen u’re really good at something you don’t have to search for work, offers come to you. Do that until ur position is solidified. In the process you’d start to see different opportunities you could #18
branch into but u have to focus ur effort on the one thing first. This is a mistake newbie entrepreneurs make. They try to do everything but end up doing nothing much at all. Pick a strength nd put a couple of years into it. Yes I said years, if you’re in this for good it #19
it wont happen overnight no matter how good you are.
Step 6: MAKE YOUR WORK VISIBLE: You know how some people get angry that others get all the opportunities that maybe they should have deserved. Well guess what, your work or ur ability didn’t shine enough to be considered. #20

We all want the most capable person for the job but we don’t know about you. We don’t know what you can do so the opportunity gets given to the best one we know of. If you want to start getting lucky and get amazing shots at life, you need to be more visible, show the world #21
what you can do, document it, put it out there, post it, yell it if you have to, that’s how people who need what you are offering will find you and if they don’t, find them yourself. I’ve gotten the opportunity to cook for some big banks and minor brands in Nigeria and #22
for real most of them did not know about me or heard about me. I reached out to them and showcased what I could do. That’s how you create you own luck. Search for that email and take ur shot. Wats d worst they could say? NO? Well the answer is no by default if you don’t ask. #23
Step 7: KEEP SHOWING UP: Set awon I tried it one and it didn’t work, I tried it for a year and it didn’t work, I applied for the scholarship and I didn’t get it, aww, how sad. Will you keep quiet and keep applying? Not getting it is part of d process. How will the world know #24
you want something if you quit it at the first rejection. How can you expect to succeed for the rest of your life and quit only after 1 year? Every successful person out there has a bunch of rejection under their belt, probably d main reason y they are regarded as successful #25
