Hack & Grow Rich Episode 101: Synchronicity and it’s Side Effects

Hack & Grow Rich Episode 101: Synchronicity and it’s Side Effects.   Hack and Grow Rich. Episode 101: Synchronicity and it’s Side Effects.   In this episode serial entrepreneur and millionaire mentor, Shaahin Cheyene and his co-host a transformational coach, and forensic handwriting analysis, Bart Baggett talk about "The concept of luck, and the side effect of it"   One of the things I wanted to talk to you about today was the concept of luck. I think both you and I have been very fortunate in our lives, and we've had a lot of opportunities that we have either forged or that have come our way. That's been a part of synchronicities that we've been involved in. Just our meeting was part of pretty interesting synchronicity. And one of the things that I was thinking about the other day, Bart, is what is luck? Is luck just a roll of the dice? The cards we dealt when we were born? Is there some component that’s just in the air? Or is it something else? Is it something that we can go out there and affect, or something that we've been affecting from day one?   When we talk about luck in the fact that we're financially successful, or people get lucky with an idea or timing, or just lucky to be born in a free country. Because I visited a friend of mine recently and she reminded me that she and her family escaped from Cambodia 35 years ago on a boat, on a dinghy, and came to America and didn't speak English. She wakes up every day grateful just to be in America and not being shot at. So that kind of perspective is humbling for the rest of us that were born here and went to an average middle-class school, and a lot of my friends from high school had pretty struggling lives like second divorces, working at Chili's, like they're just doing that thing. I just thought, What's the most outlandish thing I can think of? And let me go do that and I wasn't afraid to fail. And I did it over and over and again, and I kept getting up and getting kicked over and getting up. I think there's a little bit of luck. I think the definition most people use, at least in the self-help community, is luck is preparedness meets opportunity. And as an example, when I had an opportunity, I screwed it up. When I was 21. I published my first book, and this is back in 1987 or 1991. And I got a guy sitting in my living room, my dad, he goes, Hey! we could do this thing called an infomercial. And this was at the same time at Tony Robbins running infomercials, and I turned it down. I was 21 and didn't know what it was, I was so young and I didn't understand it. What was I thinking? It was an opportunity, but was I ready? Maybe not, but I think I could have been ready. But you know what, those come and go, and if you don't jump on that train, you just don't know. I was kicking myself and I did Okay in the end, but it was interesting because sometimes opportunities knock on the door, and you don't even see it. And years later, you're like, oh man! I could have done that.   What if luck was directly related to risk? So Nassim Taleb in his book, ¨Black Swan¨, talks about successful people and how their level of success is directly linked to the amount of risk that they take. So if you look at somebody who's employed at a lower-level position, his risk is minimal so he's guaranteed a paycheck. Whereas the guy that owns the company might not get a paycheck ever, so his risk is maximum. The amount of his reward in general in life can be traced back to risk, so I would almost ask or even argue, can luck be measured by what you said “preparedness,” but also to the ability to take risks and the interest in taking risks and the action that's involved in taking risks?   Grab a copy if both of Bart’s latest books, totally free gift to listeners.    Success Secrets of the Rich and Happy https://getbartsbook.com/free   The Magic Question.
