Obviously, we want to be wealthy and we want to get there in this lifetime without having to rely on luck.

A lot of people think making money is about luck, it's not.

It's about becoming the kind of person that makes money.

I like to think that if I lost all my money and if you drop me on a random street in any English-speaking country,

within 5-10 years, I'd be wealthy again.

Because it's just a skill set that I've developed and I think anyone can develop.

In a thousand parallel universes, you want to be wealthy in 999 of them.

You don't want to be wealthy in the 50 of them where you got lucky.

So we want to factor luck out of it.

There's really four kinds of luck that we were talking about.

This came from a book, P. Mark Henryson wrote a blog post about it.

But basically, there's different kinds of luck.

The first kind of luck you might just say is like, blind luck,

where I just got lucky because something completely out of my control happened.

That's fortune, that's fate, etc.

Then there's luck that kind of comes through persistence, hard work, hustle, motion.

Which is when you're just running around creating lots of opportunities,

you're generating a lot of energy, you're doing a lot of things.

Lots of things will just get stirred up in the dust.

It's almost like mixing a petri dish and seeing what combines or mixing a bunch of reagents

and seeing what combines.

You're just generating in a force and hustle and energy that luck will sort of find you.
