Creating your own luck isn’t about waiting for opportunities to fall in your lap, but your ability to actively seek them out. Successful people know that luck becomes a product of your efforts. It favors those who take action.
 | 1. PREPARATION |
| Preparation sets the foundation for achieving your goals and enabling you to seize opportunities when they arise. It builds poise and confidence through doing the work and working the details. Preparation is using a growth mindset to hone your skills, expand your knowledge, and work on yourself. It is getting yourself ready for any opportunity that may arise. | |
 | 2. ATTITUDE |
| Your attitude shapes your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It influences how you perceive and respond to the world around you. A positive attitude is a choice for hope and belief while a negative attitude is a choice for negativity and problems. Having a great attitude means you focus on what you can control and believe in the possibility of your future opportunities. | |
 | 3. OPPORTUNITY |
| Opportunities often hide in plain sight, disguised as challenges or setbacks. Develop the ability to spot these opportunities by being ready to embrace change. Be prepared and adapt. Try tough things, be open to new ideas, and always look to work hard because adversity is where growth happens. | |
 | 4. ACTION |
| When you see opportunity, be proactive and take action. When you take action, you create momentum for yourself. With the courage to take action, you overcome fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Those who take action and initiative are more likely to achieve their goals because they create more opportunities through their action. They put more shots on goal. |
“Success is a result of consistent practice of winning skills and actions.
There is nothing miraculous about the process. There is no luck involved.”
Bill Russell
