Summary

You shouldn’t always believe in luck if you want to become successful. Luck is just the unknown that you simply can't explain and can’t control. What you can learn is the traits of successful people, the entrepreneurs that have been there and done it. Tune in today to discover the traits of the greats and how you too can replicate their mindset to success. KEY TAKEAWAYS What is luck? Luck is just the unknown that you can't explain. You mustn't believe in luck at least if you want to become successful in your endeavours. The problem with that as a belief, even if it's a true belief is that you are out of control, you can't do anything about it, you are simply an effect rather than cause, you are a victim rather than in control and you are reactive rather than proactive and that mindset is not going to set you up towards success. Traits that successful people have. The single most important quality of successful people tried and tested is optimism. Sometimes optimism is naivety, I am going to be a millionaire when most people aren't, or I'm going to be a property investor when most people aren't, or I'm going to quit my job when most people don't, but that naive optimistic quality is the quality that makes a success even though there's risk in it. What we need to be successful, is to have the beliefs that make you successful. Naivety, a crazy vision of doing something that most people on this planet could not do. Observing the masses and doing the opposite, being greedy when everyone is faithful and faithful when everyone is greedy. These things are the traits that everybody who is successful has. If you want to be successful in your life, you should have the desire to research what makes a success. Success leaves clues. For you to have a good deal or success, you've got to read, you've got to get rid of the void, you've got to do a cost-effective refurb, you've got to manage it effectively, you've got to get finance on that deal. It’s not all about luck. If we believe that luck is the unknown, and we try and work out and make the unknown known, then to a certain degree, we can reverse engineer luck. If you put yourself in the right position to seize the opportunities by listening to podcasts, audiobooks, embrace mentors, educate yourself and be visible on social media communities, you’ll end up putting yourself in the right place enough times and you will succeed. BEST MOMENTS “The single most important quality of successful people tried and tested is optimism.” “Luck isn't luck but luck is what you don't yet know.” “Success leaves clues.” “There is no accident, there is no coincidence, it is all done by design. The world gives you back the energy that you give out to it.” “The better you prepare, the better you are able to seize the opportunity.” “You can make your own luck.” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Rob Moore. Post Rob Moore here now I believe that you mustn't believe in luck at least if you want to become

successful in your endeavors. I remember supporting Liverpool my whole life and hating the fact that Man United

used to score last minute goals, 95 minute goals, 97 minute goals seemingly

1:02.1

every week and it used to frustrate me and I used to think

1:04.5

they were the luckiest team in the Premier League. I still kind of do. So the

reality is if you analyze statistics in football most goals statistically are

1:16.6

scored in the final 10, 5 minutes maybe even in extra time and we think it's luck

1:25.5

but in reality it's other forces we simply don't understand like if you think about Manchester United when they used to score those

1:28.6

late goals maybe their team was the fittest maybe they were able to take it up another gear when other teams weren't.
