The Manual #64 - How to increase your luck

Luck is something that is usually defined as something happening by chance. But I truly believe you can increase your luck, and that’s purely by increasing your chances.

Increasing your chances if the key part here.

This month I signed on as advisor for pop.site. I’ll be helping in the background with direction of the company, particularly creative. Advisory roles are great, I provide some of my time and help, in return for equity.

The reason this landed in my inbox was purely due to increasing my chances. How does one increase their chances?

• Create good stuff. Create stuff people want. Can be small or big. Just make stuff. It puts you ahead of so many.
• Share your stuff. Whether the aim is to get clients, get followers, or for yourself. Share your work.
• Improve. Continually improve your stuff.

It’s really not harder than this. Most people never create, never share, and never improve. These are basic things one can do to increase your surface of luck.

I shared this screenshot on my instagram and it absolutely blew up. I realised for most people, they never see the underbelly of the content creation world and how much money there is in it.

This is small fish compared to what actually goes on out there. I share a lot more of this stuff and the potential of making money in my onlinecreatorcourse.com. I don’t think most people realise how much money companies have to spend in the digital space, I know I didn’t 10 years ago.

Again, I got this offer because I continually create, improve and share.
