Summary

This week, we're going to talk about being LUCKY and our take on the entire concept of LUCK.   You probably know this already, but we are not a huge fan of the word, "LUCK." "Oh! Your business took off? You're SOOO LUCKY!!!" "WOW! You must be so lucky to be able to buy a new car on a whim!" (buzzer sound) WRONG. Luck had very little to do with what we've achieved in life. To put it simply, we worked very hard to place ourselves in front of those rare opportunities. But we didn't get to where we are now because our first attempt worked. People think that you need to succeed the first time you try when in reality, it will take you multiple attempts before you get enough experience to get to the next step. It's the same with us, guys! We had to learn the ropes. We had to put in the time and money. We had to stay focused and do whatever it took to make it online, not just for our sake but for our family's future. It's funny how success is often perceived to rely on luck. Luck isn't bad, y'all! But using it as an excuse to justify your inaction is. "Oh, I'm not lucky like they are, how can I possibly succeed?" See what we mean? So, if you're looking around for ways on how to be lucky or how to increase your luck, you're not going to make it far. Think about the "Law of Attraction." The more you focus and take action on the things you want to happen, the more you attract opportunities and situations that will make you reach that goal. Anyone can succeed, it's just not everyone is willing to do what needs to be done in order to succeed. So, tell us, how will you attract success if you're not doing anything? We've said it before and we'll say it again (and again and AGAIN)... ACTION BREEDS SUCCESS. Stop wasting your precious time searching for blog posts on HOW TO BE LUCKY IN LIFE! Don't let the concept of luck hold you back from creating the life that you want your family to have. YOU are responsible for your success. Not luck. Not anyone else. JUST YOU! You might not know it or believe it, but you have as much potential to succeed as everyone else. So, work towards your goal, build and foster relationships, do whatever it takes to change your life. [Tweet "Put yourself in the right place, so when the time comes, you can seize the right opportunity. - Shane"] [Tweet "Success likes those who work hard for it, those who prepared to meet and reach it. - Jocelyn"] [Tweet "You have to go out of your way to connect, build and foster genuine relationships. - Shane"] [Tweet "More luck doesn't mean more success, you need to take action to make that success happen. - Jocelyn"] You Will Learn: Why we dislike being called, "LUCKY" How the concept of luck is holding you back The beauty of connecting, building and nurturing good relationships Plus so much MORE!

Success Story of the Week: "I completed my Facebook page!" Nichola says, "I just want to share success news that I now have a Facebook page!

being lucky and the entire concept of luck. You might have heard us talk about on the podcast before.

1:01.3

We really don't like the word look. To me, it's sort of like a four-letter word and the not

1:06.2

nice four-liter words. Jocelyn does not say. Yes. When I think about luck, it just kind of makes me mad when people say, oh, well, you were so

1:14.2

lucky that your business took off or you were so lucky that you made a product that people

1:20.4

wanted.

1:21.2

When in reality, luck had very little to do with it.

1:25.1

Recently, I went on a trip to Cancun, Mexico with some other

female entrepreneurs. It was an awesome trip, and it was so much fun. And one of the things that we

did on the trip is we went through and talked about the background of our business to give people

context as we were talking about challenges we were facing and just other things about our businesses. Well,
