Luck IS A Factor In Success

You do everything you can do
to ensure a project
is a success.

It still fails.

Hey, this happens to me.
Often.
It happens to everyone.

Because like it or not
(I vote for not),
good luck is a factor
in EVERY success.

We need a bit of good luck
to be successful.

Acknowledge that.
Accept that.

Try to minimize
the impact luck has
but know that a little bit of it
IS necessary.

And also know
that, eventually,
if we try hard enough,
work wisely enough,
we WILL get that little bit
of luck.

Planning For Best Case Scenarios

Over the last couple of day,
I’ve talked about
how we need to plan
for
best case,
worst case,
and
most likely scenarios.

I often get pushback
about having to plan for
best case scenarios.

In best case scenarios,
everything is going well.

Many people believe
all we have to do
is sit back
and
enjoy our success.

Except if we do that,
we won’t have success
to enjoy for very long.

Websites will go down
because we have too much traffic.
Inventory will run out
because we have too much sales.
Baddies will target
our products and our businesses.
The competition will
try to duplicate our success.
Etc. Etc.

We should have a plan
to deal
with all of that.

Plan for success also.

The saying is correct.
Success DOES change us.
Whether we want to change
or not.
