I was talking to a friend today and he said he disagrees on luck being necessary to be successful in business.
I disagree with his disagreement :D
Joking aside, I think everybody successful in business was lucky. Context, the right people, there’s a lot of things that you were lucky to get.
Of course, you can be the luckiest person ever, if you don’t take advantage of the opportunities, luck doesn’t matter. But to say it’s not there…
So, if luck matters, why even try starting a business? Because you can put yourself in the best position for the moment luck will hit. You can build a great team, you can optimize costs…
Sometimes, the luck comes too late, of course, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t prepare for that moment.
