Want to be a lucky guy or gal? There are things you can do to
become one. In fact, there are at least a dozen luck
"techniques" that you can use. I have been using them for years,
and yes, they say I'm a lucky guy. Here are two of the most
important things you can do.
Lucky Guy Tip - Get Ready For Luck
When we bought a house for $17,500 from the bank, and later sold
it for a nice profit, people said "You're so lucky!" Yes, we
were lucky that we had the cash saved, because they weren't
offering financing at that price. We were lucky that had
savings, making it easy to quit our jobs and move to this new
town.
A friend who owns a used car dealership had cash flow problems.
He could get a couple great cars at auction, but needed $1500.
He offered a car as security if I would loan him the money for
10 days for $100 interest. Not only was I lucky enough to make
an easy $100, but he was so grateful that he sold me a car for
$1,600 that was worth much more.
Preparation puts the odds in your favor. If you were in the
situations above, you couldn't necessarily do what I did. But if
you had arranged to borrow $17,500 from a someone, you could
have split the profits on the house. If you had a credit card in
the second situation, a cash advance fee and interest would have
cut your profit in half, but then maybe it's even luckier to
make money with none of your own money.
In whatever area of your life you want to be a lucky guy, start
preparing. There are always things you can do to allow for more
luck. When you want to be lucky in love, you comb your hair,
right? If you want to have good luck as a singer, start
practicing, make a list of places you can audition, read up on
how other singers became successful. Start getting ready for
good luck.
Lucky Guy Tip - Be In The Right Place
My wife was recently lucky enough to get a good job teaching
Spanish. She never was able to find jobs like this when we lived
in a small northern Michigan town. When we moved here to Tucson,
Arizona, things changed. Not surprisingly, there are often more
opportunities in larger towns.
Naturally, you are more likely to get a "lucky break" as a movie
star in Hollywood than in Toledo, Ohio. You'll have more
opportunities to sail in a city on a coast. If you want to be a
great skier, should you move to Alabama or Colorado? You get the
point.
It isn't just about moving to "luckier" cities, though. Being in
the right place is a matter of daily choices too. "Hanging out"
where management does is more likely to lead to a promotion at
work than spending time with the other employees. We spend time
at real estate investing club meetings, and were just approached
with an offer to partner on a great deal.
Find the "right places," and make it a point to be there.
Imagine two men looking for the woman of their dreams. One stays
home and dreams while the other accepts an invitation to a
party. Who's more likely to be the lucky guy?
