“Luck is a part of life, and everyone, at one point or another, gets lucky. Luck is also a big part of entrepreneurial life. At the very least, entrepreneurs must believe in luck. Ideally, they can recognize it when they see it. And over time, the best entrepreneurs can actually learn to create luck.

The best way to ensure that lucky things happen is to make sure that a lot of things happen.

Being lucky in business has an intoxicating underbelly called believing you’re smart. Everyone will work hard to convince you so. Few people have the incentive to tell you the cold hard truth.
