Is there such thing as luck?
Of course, there is. I for one want to get as lucky as I can.
I know what you’re thinking: Branden are you admitting your title is just a marketing device? Well, I am trying to sell books here people!
We all want to be lucky or get lucky. And if the hand of luck reaches down to help you climb the tree of success, take it. But if it doesn’t, f--- it. Climb the tree anyway.
Hope is not a strategy. Wishing is for singing crickets.
Most people think they need more luck. If this describes you, you’re got it backward: Luck needs you. Luck doesn’t show up—YOU show up
Luck is waiting for you to show the-f-up. Now let me show you how.

Back to That Lucky Penny
A family in New York picked up pennies and other coins dropped on sidewalks and put them in a jar. At the end of the year, they had $1,013.
How much lost money is lying around? No one knows. The U.S. Mint once estimated that as much as $3 billion in change ends up on sidewalks or slipping between sofa cushions. And let’s not even get started on printed bills.
The fact is, we step right over lost change every day without ever noticing. Why? Because we’re not looking for it. Our priorities and our attention are elsewhere.
When you start looking for pennies, you start seeing them everywhere.
If you really believe you will find a penny on the street, then you will. And when you do, hold the penny in your hand and yourself: Is this penny in my hand because of luck, or because I made a conscious decision to look for one?
You know the answer.
How many pennies (or quarters, or dollars) have you stepped over in your life because you didn’t tell your mind to look for them? How many opportunities have you missed for the same reason?
Look for bad luck, and sure as f--k, you’ll find some.
Look for good luck, and…
(…you can finish the sentence for yourself.)
