There's a video going viral right now that has nearly a million views that made me genuinely

angry. Not because it's completely wrong, but because it's right about just enough things to be

dangerous. This video is telling you that your hard work doesn't matter. The reason you aren't

successful, isn't your strategy, isn't your habits or what you do every day, is just that luck

hasn't found you yet. Huh? This video is titled, The Diary of a CEO is Making You Less Successful.

The central argument around this video is actually buried under some genuinely interesting

science, but he's really trying to convince you that successful people are just basically lucky and

that's why they're successful. And today I'm going to tell you why that argument is just absolutely

flat out ridiculous. And what confirms how ridiculous it is is the comments on this video. More

about that later. So in today's video, I'm going to break down why this creator left out some

really important things that make it so dangerous, make this

video so dangerous to watch for people that are really trying hard. But more importantly,

we're going to talk about luck. We're going to talk about how much of an influence does it have

on success. Because no one's saying that luck is not a thing or circumstances or whatever

you want to call it. The thing we're debating here is, is it the thing? Is it the only thing? Let's get into it.
