After reading The Luck Factor, I’m going to start journaling about things I’ve learned, thoughts I have about it, or anything lucky thing that happens to me.
Principle 1 can be summed up as extroversion and putting yourself out there as much as possible to increase your chance opportunities. This morning, and all this week, I’ve taken my dog to the local coffee shop. I sat out front, smiled, made eye contact, and greeted everyone walking in. I saw someone I met before but forgot their name, so I asked their name again and wrote it down because I’m bad at names. I think I just learn better when I see words instead of hear them. Next time I’ll say his name. Had some small talk about my dog with a couple other people. And someone I knew walked by, noticed me again and said, “Hey you’re a regular here”. Guess I am now. Or, for now. We’ll see how this goes…
