Yes, There is a Lucky Leprechaun in Your Life – YOU!

Well…it just so happens to be one of my absolute favorite weeks of the year, maybe months of the year, March – St. Patrick’s Day. I just love this holiday. I know I have some Irish in me somewhere.
Truth is; I’ve never had green beer or any beer for that matter for reasons anyone reading this would already know…and I don’t even celebrate the holiday with a party or anything like that – it’s so much more about the ‘commercial’ meaning for me and what it symbolizes or perhaps better said what I have decided it symbolizes for me.
It has become a ritual for my wife and I to go out to one of our absolute favorite restaurants, or choosing something that is near obscene in price (which as you would expect for me takes a lot). We go on this day to celebrate that any day can bring some luck into your life when you focus on prosperity and abundance.
I suggest you do the same.
St. Patrick’s Day – the idea of luck, finding luck, being lucky, all things of good fortune…and I just love that because I believe you put yourself in the way of luck, you choose and decide to make things happen and you get lucky because of it.
Yes, I believe the planets align and things to fall into place not by wishing or hoping or rubbing lucky charms together but by being deliberate, acting decisively, having a plan followed by execution with some positive thoughts to create momentum and energy.
In your business and in your life, as I say every single week in one way or another, you will get about what you expect, what you accept, what you believe to be your level of deserve and above all else you will settle down to levels of success that are in direct proportion to the degree of responsibility you take over them.
Read that last sentence or paragraph again there in lies the truest secret to luck – the degree of responsibility will determine the degree of potential luck you might have going in your favor…the one who works the hardest, plans the most, commits without condition, goes all in usually seems to wind up the luckiest.
For fun and to make a point today, I’ll give you seven quick leverages points within your business that will make you lucky and put the advantage in your favor.
1. Price, as premium and profitable as it can be – nothing leads to more control, more autonomy, more luck than the price in your business, it’s the accelerator of growth and jet fuel for the future.
2/3. Polarize your market and do the opposite of everyone else…
These are two that go hand in hand and I humbly say I am the master of both for myself and my clients. It’s very simple, if you are not obviously different than others in your market space then you are fighting for the same pieces of the pie and you will suppress your ability to maximize number one.
The way you best polarize your market is by being “the opposite” solution for a specific niched or targeted group of people – often the underserved group is your ideal customer, patient, or client. There are so many ways to do this and it’s really quite magical.
More on that perhaps next week.
4. Build Relationships with Your Prospects
Something no one else will ever say. They might at very best build relationship with their customers after the fact but not before. Look, just try it and listen to me, whatever will make a prospect a great customer do that, give them it, tell them, show them, help them experience all of these things BEFORE they make a buying decision so that they actually will.
This is a giant luck factor and it’s the concept of building a lead list to then convert and condition into your customers.
5. Maximize the value of every person in your company’s time – this is self explanatory, each person needs to own their role and become the best in the organization at it and then give them as much time as possible doing just that.
This creates a multiplier effect and thus provides abundant and on demand amounts of luck.
6/7. Position yourself for wealth attraction and eliminate all distractions and negative energy from your life and business.
I’ve talked about this so much and so often. I have to tell you no one, very few people, take it seriously. Very few commit to designing their life literally around these two things and therefore they are not lucky very often and they are never sustainably successful.
I’m toying with the idea of doing a very special, once-in-a-lifetime experience, an immersion for wealth attraction transformation (like a negative energy cleanse for your life and business) and showing you, proving to you, forcing you to feel the positive prosperous effects of it.
If you are serious about this, if you’d like more information or to raise your hand and push me over the edge on doing it, email me back here at this message, just hit reply – it’ll happen sooner than later, sometime this year if I do it.
That basically wraps it up for 7 luck factors, I hope you use them as a checklist and assessment over the health of your business and your own personal life and mindset so you can step up the lucky leverage that is available to you.
I’ll leave you with this:
There are so many quotes about luck I could use here, today though, not for the first time I’m sure, I will share with you my absolute favorite quote and the one I would say serves as my guiding force, my personal mission statement, my compass that drives all action and direction for which I decide to pursue – commitment always precedes luck – remember that.
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back– Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, do something fun, take some action, reflect, decide, commit to what’s next for you in your life and make a list of all the lucky things you intend to have happen to you between now and next years pot of gold, green beer, lucky charms, leprechauns and rainbows.
