The #1 Way You Can Learn to Be Luckier

by Andrea Waltz

Most people think luck is some mystical, random force, but what if you could actually manufacture more of it?

The concept of "Luck Surface Area" was a term coined by Jason Roberts former CTO at Uber. (He met the founder of Uber at a random party in the Bay area.)

He said luck isn’t just about being in the right place at the right time. It's exposing yourself to more opportunities by taking action and sharing your work.

Sound familiar? It should. It’s basically Go for No in disguise. 😆

Picture you're standing in a tiny spotlight. That’s your current chance of luck finding you. Now, what if you made that spotlight wider by:

Showing up more often/talking to more people
Asking for more opportunities (and hearing more NOs!)
Putting your work, ideas, or skills out into the world

You’re in more places, having more conversations, making more connections. And wouldn’t you know it? Suddenly, luck seems to show up more often.

Most people don’t have a luck problem. They stay in their comfort zone, so luck never finds them. Want to get luckier? Go for No. Widen your spotlight. Increase your Luck Surface Area. Maybe you'll find that pot of gold along the way.

Go for No! Recommends...

NOteworthy Excerpt

"If you are looking around and finding a serious lack of luck in your life, let’s look at how much you are paying it forward.
You want more likes and comments on your posts? Start liking and commenting on other people’s posts.
You want people to support your small business? Terrific. Support other small businesses.
You want someone to talk to when things are stressful? Be there for a friend in need.
You want people to be generous to you? Be generous.
You want random cool sh*t to happen to you? Do random cool sh*t for other people.
You want more luck to show up in your life? Make someone else feel lucky.
You want your husband to put his smelly underwear in the hamper? I don’t know what the f**k to tell you."
