Someone recently via email congratulated me on being lucky to have a great family and business when so many dont. Well thank you. BUT I want you to understand why I dont consider myself LUCKY! And to do that I am simply going allow an excerpt from THE VIRGIN WAY: Everything I Know About Leadership by Richard Branson speak for me (lol .. And if you know me...lol...that doesnt normally happen ) I believe that luck is one of the most misunderstood and underappreciated factors in life. Those people and businesses that are generally considered fortunate or luckier than others are usually also the ones that are prepared to take the greatest risks and, by association, are also prepared to fall flat on their faces every so often. In stark contrast, the play it safe for fear of failing brigade are the ones who just never seem to get as lucky as the risk-takers. Coincidence? I dont think so. Sadly the vast majority of people seem to view their chances of getting lucky in much the same vein as the likelihood of being struck by lightning, as if it is something over which they have zero control. Well, in my humble opinion they couldnt be further from the truth — anyone who wants to make the effort to work on their luck can and will seriously improve it.
