Chapter: Stories of Timing
As we all know it’s not always the ones that get educated and work hard that become successful. Being at the right place at the right time is a great way to reach success. You most likely know of someone that has the mysterious ability to always be where the action is. But what does it really mean to be in the right place at the right time? And can we control it? I do believe we can.
My first tip to get more “lucky breaks” in your life is to make it a habit to meet regularly with like-minded people that have the same or similar goals you want to achieve. The more you gather with these people the more opportunities you’ll discover to learn, advance and network. To stay active gives you the best chance of being at the right place at the right time. So, tip number two is to create this habit for yourself. You can do so by being active in various organizations, clubs and groups. Stay active on social network websites, blogs and online forums that focus on your profession or topics of interest. The third tip involves the importance of getting involved and contributing to organizations in your neighborhood, for example where you live or work. This is one of the best ways to establish connections and relationships. Share suggestions and ideas, help out, ask questions, answer questions and help others get answers. In an age where everyone wants to be a spectator, entertained or helped, do the opposite by helping others. Listening instead of talking is also of great importance. Most people don’t realize the power to simply sit down, listen and pay attention to what someone has to tell you.
Possible Moral
Being in the right place doesn’t mean standing in a physical location, it means having your life in the right place. It means creating opportunities and setting yourself up to take advantage of them. It also means being responsible, live cheap, reserve some free time and have some savings, so that when an amazing opportunity comes around you can take it. What most see as luck I see as an opportunity. By trying out these different methods you will soon find yourself ending up where the action is more frequently than before.
