It’s (relatively) easy to get lucky when you’re engaging with people, interacting, and learning—in physical or digital worlds.
Spend more time engaging and you'll find yourself in more positions to get lucky.
16. Become an Expert
If you are exceptional at one specific thing, luck tends to find you.
Your expertise becomes a magnet for new and interesting opportunities you never knew existed.
Public awareness of your expertise is a plus. Share your work to widen the reach of your magnet.
17. Creative Boredom
We really need to normalize boredom.
Some of your most creative moments come during periods of boredom.
On a walk, in the shower, at a dinner by yourself.
You’re bored, your mind wanders, your thoughts mingle. Bam! Insight strikes.
Boredom creates luck.
18. Send More Cold DMs
Twitter is an insanely valuable resource if you use it well.
You can literally reach almost anyone in the world from your couch.
I've connected with many amazing people through sending them a cold DM—including when I had very few followers.
Shoot your shot.
19. Spend Time in Digital Communities
The world has changed—you no longer need to live in a big city or have a fancy degree to connect and build valuable relationships.
The rise of digital communities is real.
Join a Discord, engage in good faith.
Create value, receive value.
20. Ask Great Cold Questions
When you meet new people, find ways to stand out.
Asking great questions is a clear way.
One of my favorites: "What are you most excited about that you're working on right now?"
It gets them talking—plus they’ll remember you for future opportunities.
21.Follow Your Curiosity
Humans are born with astonishing curiosity. But somewhere along the way, we're told to stop asking questions.
Push back.
Learn to follow your curiosity—trust it. Curiosity drives you to knock down doors and enter new rooms.
Fortune favors the curious.
