Are You Waiting To Get Lucky?

Page 2: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

I saw this movie the other night about King Arthur.

Page 3: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

This is one common story in Western Culture.

Page 4: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

In this particular story, Sir Lancelot had to run this huge obstacle course.

Page 5: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

It was for some carnival they were setting up.

Page 6: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

In order to get through it, he needed strength, flexibility, balance and a lot of luck.

Page 7: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

Kind of a "foreshadowing" event of what he'd need to navigate the deeper politics of the movie.

Page 8: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

Most successful people, if they're truly honest, will admit that "luck" plays a HUGE role in how they did what they did.

Page 9: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

Of course, "luck" is one of those things that we all think we know, but it's pretty hard to agree on the definition.

Page 10: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

Certainly if you're NOT lucky, that makes a ready excuse for not being successful.

Page 11: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

And even if you ARE successful, part of you may think it will be snatched away, so if you attribute at least part of it to "luck" then you won't feel so

bad in the "rags" part of your "rags to riches to rags" story.

But if you REALLY want to reverse engineer success, a fantastic book is "The Millionaire Next Door."

Page 13: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

Sure, these guys got "lucky," at least sometimes. But part of being lucky means to always be on the lookout for opportunities, and always being

ready to take advantage of them.

Page 14: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

And most of those guys in that book realized that success is a long, consistent effort more than anything else.

Page 15: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

If you want to do ANYTHING very, very well, then you better be willing to put in the consistent practice.

Page 16: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

Instead of asking yourself, "what can I do to be successful," a better question should be, "what kinds of things should I do on a daily basis to

slowly BUILD my success?"

Page 17: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

Of course, few people think of success this way.

Page 18: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

They tend to think in terms of winning the lottery, or "meeting" the right person.

Page 19: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

But if all you did were a few mental exercises every day, ten minutes per day, you'd soon have skills most people don't know exist.

Page 20: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

The heart of nearly all success is the ability to communicate effectively.

Page 21: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

Not just to communicate YOUR ideas, but to carefully elicit the ideas of others.

Page 22: How To Increase Your Conversational Luck

Because when you get YOUR ideas working along with the ideas of others, THAT'S when you start to build MASSIVE success.
