I have often written about the four paths to wealth:
- Saver/investor path
- Climbing path of the big company
- Virtuoso path
- Dreamer/entrepreneur path
The path of the dreamer/entrepreneur is the most difficult of the four paths to wealth. It is also the fastest and most rewarding path, both financially and emotionally. In my Rich Habits Study, it took the dreamer/entrepreneurs in my study just twelve years to amass an average of $7.4 million in wealth.
But there’s a catch. Those who succeed in following the path of the dreamer/entrepreneur must follow that path so that Opportunity Luck can visit them. In my research I discovered that the perseverers are ultimately lucky and that luck is the luck of opportunity.
Opportunity Luck is a unique type of luck because it is manufactured. You create opportunity happiness by doing things that create the opportunity for happiness to occur.
One of the things that creates opportunity happiness is the persistent pursuit of a dream.
Pursuing a dream requires creating goals. Goals should do two things:
- Physical activity and
- 100% feasibility
Dreams unleash passion that motivates you to take action. If you have the required skills and knowledge to take that action, the goals become 100% achievable.
The purpose of any goal is to achieve a certain desired outcome. However, sometimes these outcomes exceed your expectations or create unexpected outcomes that benefit your life in some way. Exceeded expectations and unexpected good results are usually called luck.
This is Opportunity Luck: happiness is created by persistently pursuing the goals behind your dreams.
Occasional luck loves dreamers. And it only reveals itself to dreamers who take action to make their dreams come true.
If you are the beneficiary of Opportunity Luck, your life will improve in some way. Very often this benefit comes in the form of wealth or money, especially if your dream is something that can make money.
Mark Zuckerberg was the beneficiary of Opportunity Luck. So did Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.
They all took action to make their dreams come true, and they were lucky.
Opportunity Luck does not visit those sitting on the couch watching TV. It doesn’t visit those who read Harry Potter (unless you’re JK Rowling). It does not visit those who are too afraid to pursue their dreams and therefore the goals behind their dreams.
Opportunity Luck only visits those who take action to make their dreams come true and never give up. It is one of the great secrets of success, which only a few know about.
Let happiness find you. Pursue a dream today. Stop thinking about it and do it.
For every dreamer, hard work, disappointments, obstacles and problems are your bedfellows, but so is Opportunity Luck. And when Opportunity Luck finds you, everything in your life changes for the better.
