Some people swear success is all hard work. Others say it’s all luck. Both are wrong.
The truth is success happens when preparation and timing collide — and most people fail because they only focus on one side of the equation. Grind culture burns people out, while excuse culture convinces people to stay stuck.
In this episode, we’ll dig into:
Why effort without timing feels like running in circles
How your brain uses “luck” as an excuse to avoid risk and responsibility
The hidden psychology behind envy, comparison, and self-sabotage
The boring, unglamorous truth about what “hard work” really looks like
How to position yourself so when opportunity whispers, you’re ready to answer
Success isn’t about wishing. It’s about becoming the kind of person that opportunity can’t ignore. Preparation. Patience. Positioning. That’s how you create your own “luck.”
