(From the book The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy)

Preparation:
By consistently improving and preparing yourself – your skills, knowledge, expertise, relationships, and resources – you have the wherewithal to take advantage of great opportunities when they arrive.

Attitude:
It’s simply a matter of seeing situations, conversations, and circumstances as fortuitous. You cannot see what you don’t look for, and you cannot look for what you don’t believe in.

Opportunity:
In this stage of the formula, luck isn’t forced. It’s a natural occurrence, and it often shows up seemingly of its own accord.

Action:
This is where you come in. However this luck was delivered to you – from the universe, God, the Lucky Charms leprechaun, or whomever or whatever you associate delivering your good fortune – it’s now your job to act on it.

Luck is an equal opportunity distributor. Lady Luck shines on all, but rather than having your umbrella overhead, you’ve got to have your face to the sky.
