How to be lucky in business. Plus 4 other nuggets

Updated February 2022

By Jim Connolly | August 16, 2021

marketing, business, luck, lucky

  1. If you hear yourself wishing for better luck, remind yourself that what you really need, is a better strategy.
  2. It’s getting harder and harder to sell average stuff, now that everyone has a social media megaphone.
    • The best providers get their message amplified in public.
    • The average providers get their message minified in public.
    • Below average providers get their message vilified in public.
  3. A business succeeds when there’s congruence between what the business owner wants… and what the business owner does. Failing to provide a business with what it needs, is like refusing to water your plants. Only a lot more expensive.
  4. Everything your business does is marketing. Yes, everything.
  5. Never complain about the economy or other outside factors. Adapt. Adjust. Put your success in your own hands.

Now go and make it a great day, my friend.
