Is Success Just a Roll of the Dice?

What if I told you that most of my success came down to sheer luck?

To truly understand my journey, you need to grasp the elusive nature of luck.

Here’s a reality check: I’ve done plenty right, but my success? It’s built on luck.

There’s no exclusive secret or ground-breaking tactic behind my achievements.

I don’t put in more hours or possess superior intelligence, luck and the effort of those around me paved my path.

Consider this: being born in 1987 England, a male with a good command of the English language.

Not to mention, I’m able-bodied with a reasonable education and a supportive family.

Realistically, it would be astonishing if I hadn’t found some measure of success.

The true heroes? An incredible team whose tireless dedication turns the wheels of our business success.

When things go south, it’s not due to their lack of effort, but a misstep in my decision-making.

Acknowledging this truth is my hidden trait – success is luck and others’ hard work, failure, my own doing.

There’s no mystical secret or unique trait carving the path to success – my story is peppered with fortunate circumstances.

Understanding that I’m not the sole architect of my achievements is key – it’s a collective effort, with a dash of luck.

How much of your success would you attribute to luck and the hard work of those around you?
