How to be lucky in business

By Jim Connolly | September 29, 2017

lucky, how to be, business luck

I get called Lucky Jim… a lot. Here’s my secret, plus how you too can get lucky in business.

It starts with understanding a basic truth: In business, the numbers WILL work for you. BUT only if you let them.

Think about it: You can try new ideas or new strategies repeatedly and still keep moving. You only need to hit the jackpot once for it to improve your life beyond measure.

The challenge is that most small business owners get those numbers all mixed up.

They treat business as if one failure or one poor decision will surely ruin everything. So, they spend their days trying to avoid failure.

And in trying to insulate themselves from failure, they actually insulate themselves from meaningful success.

A very lucky client

I worked with a very lucky lady yesterday, who has grown a million dollar business, from home, in just 24 months. And it’s extremely profitable, too. Next year, it will double (at least) in revenues with even higher profits.

Of course, she isn’t really lucky. She simply applies the right mindset for business success. It’s why she hired me. In fact, it’s the mindset behind every business owner, who has ever hired me. They focus on what they want, rather than what they fear. The difference this mindset makes to their business is impossible to overstate.

That’s how you make the numbers work for you and your business. Good luck my friend!
