The lucky Entrepreneur

The document discusses the concept of luck for entrepreneurs. It argues that luck is when preparedness meets opportunity, and that entrepreneurs who are open-minded and receptive will find more opportunities come their way. Successful entrepreneurs understand the importance of having an open eye to see opportunities and an open mind to consider new ideas from different perspectives rather than seeing problems. Those who maintain a spirit of open-mindedness and are not afraid of being wrong will have "luck" shine upon them as they take risks, learn from failures, and persist in their efforts.

The Lucky Entrepreneur If you ask me if there is such a thing as a lucky entrepreneur, I would without hesitation declare that many entrepreneurs are lucky. That is because I define luck as preparedness meeting opportunity. Or as Oprah would say I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity. Most of the population operates under the illusion that luck happens to some people while it eludes almost everyone else. The smart entrepreneur understands that an open eye and an open mind are key to finding the success that others are unable to grasp and command. The open eye is required to see when an opportunity is before them. An open mind is necessary to be able to see opportunities where most other people see problems or obstacles. An open mind is also the ability to place your ego and pride aside and have a very open mind to other ideas that people bring to the table. Our brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts which we hold in our minds, these magnets attract to us the forces the people the circumstances of life which harmonized with the nature of our dominating thoughts. If your dominating thoughts are those of success and opportunity, your life will attract those very things to you. For those entrepreneurs who are open and receptive, luck and opportunity will be ahead of them. As an entrepreneur you always have to maintain a spirit of open-mindedness
Ive tried to live my life as an explorer, discovering and taking advantage of opportunities others may not have because of the fear of being wrong, Ive come to realize that there is nothing wrong about being wrong. Eloise Ristad said When we give ourselves permission to fail, we, at the same time give ourselves permission to excess As an entrepreneur there is one thing for certain, you will be wrong many, many times but luck shines upon those who take a risk, fail, get up and persist again.
