First Steps To Creating Your Own Luck
Here’s another short post for you. The other night I drew a quick sketch. It was an attempt to diagram how to create your own luck by finding opportunity as a connector. (Below is a hand-drawn diagram.)

-
In the diagram each node represents something, like:
- Individuals
- Businesses
- Niche Markets
- Demographics
- Abstract things like ideas.
- ???
If you follow the lines between the nodes you’ll see a gap. This gap is where the magic of connecting occurs. It’s the spot where you can find a niche for yourself in the world. And when you begin to see all the gaps out there you’ll see how abundant the world can be!
-
Create your own opportunity by:
- Identifying the gaps
- Brainstorming all the ways a gap could be filled or connected.
- Find the people who can help you fill that gap or make that connection.
Give it a try. Networking events are interesting place to play the connecting game. Even if just to yourself.
How many ways can you see to link the various people in the room? Odds are, there are many thousands of dollars of business being ignored. It won’t take long for you to see that even in today’s economy, you can create all the luck you’ll ever need.
