Working long, hard hours every day, accounts for about another 40% of one’s success, and choosing the right industry is probably responsible for another 8%. In our estimation, luck only accounts for about 2% of the success of proactive entrepreneurs.
So get over the notion of good luck being a reason why people might win in a business environment. Even if luck is an element, it is an uncontrollable one and a minor one. Focus instead on the majority of factors, which can truly be improved daily by your best efforts.
More specifically, if your business is run by hard workers like you who show up every day ready for their tasks and pay close attention to business details and emerging opportunities, you will have a much higher chance of long-term success than could be attributable to luck.
