This is Steva Robbins. Welcome to the Get It Done Guys quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.

Luck. Some people have it, some don't. It plays a huge role in how successful someone is. Just look at Aladdin.

One minute, street urchin. Then he finds one old dinged-up brass lamp, and the next thing you know, royalty.

Not everyone is willing to admit the role of luck. In fact, many of those who have had the most luck also have the biggest ego investment in denying its existence.

A multibillionaire with bad hair recently said that you shouldn't pay attention to where a rich person started, but to where they

ended up. Of course, this particular multibillionaire started with an eight-figure inheritance.

Probably the biggest role luck has played in your life is the country, the family, and the

socioeconomic class that you were born into. You didn't control those things. You did nothing

to deserve them, yet they determined your launching pad in life.

And for those of us not born at the top of the heap, let's all take a moment to mourn.

Aw.

Now, since we are clearly in a position to listen to a podcast, let's all take a moment to celebrate,

because there are a few billion people on the planet who were born into way, way worse

circumstances than any of us.

Okay. Now that that's over, it turns out that once birth is out of the way, some people are

lucky and some aren't. This isn't, well, luck. There are things that you can do that make you

more likely to find opportunity. Luck isn't supernatural.

First, the bad news.

Luck doesn't seem to have to do with spirit guides, angels, or crystals.

That kind of makes sense, if you think about it.

If you were an angel and you could make luck happen on demand, would you share it?

Of course not.
