How to Get “Lucky” Breaks

Every catch yourself thinking, "Damn, this person blew up out of nowhere."

It's easy to say that when you're:

  1. Lost in the scroll of social media.

  2. Constantly comparing your lack of performance to others.

It’s a battle of head games and false perceptions.

Let’s dive a bit deeper, shall we?

The Danger of Entitlement

Our envy and imposter syndrome convince us that this individual “blowing up” must have better skills, opportunities, and resources at their disposal.

We're convinced they have more time, bandwidth, and luck on their side.

Often we feel entitled to the same results...

Yet we'd rather speculate in jealously focusing on things outside our control.

We think we're capable of doing great things...

Yet we choose to play it safe, but why?

Because what if we waste our time chasing a "dream" and it doesn't work out?

What makes these people so successful compared to us?

10 Ways to Become an Overnight Success

Here are 10 ways "lucky" overnight successes are born:

  1. They make uncomfortable and consistent commitments.

  2. They trust the process and embrace the unknown.

  3. Set targets followed by intentional action.

  4. They understand seasons, priorities, and how to focus.

  5. They can distinguish opportunities from distractions.

  6. They apply a high level of desire with conviction + delayed gratification.

  7. They're students of the game and ask "dumb" questions.

  8. They seek support + attach themselves to guides/coaches/mentors.

  9. They say NO and understand the "right" people to disappoint.

  10. They effectively promote themselves + their work (in a non-gross way.)

I believe that not patiently putting these into practice over time is how you manifest yourself into an unlucky starving artist.

Both routes are harder—choose your hard.

Bet Big On Yourself

Clearly, none of these are mastered overnight—these are the unsexy tasks that lead to sexy results.

And no doubt, there's probably a little luck sprinkled in there...

But as the OG philosopher Seneca stated, “Luck Is What Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity."

It's easy to get in your own way based on your perception of someone stumbling into their "big break."

It's hard to take full accountability for your lack of progress and actions...

It's even harder to bet big on yourself and create your own big break.

But that's why you're here reading this...

To step your shit up and become the next overnight success, right?

What's stopping ya?
