Early on in my YouTube and Medium journey, someone started aggressively chirping me in the comments of one of my videos.
The only reason I’d achieved any success, he told me, was pure dumb luck.
He argued I was making money on Medium because the algorithm just happened to like something I had written.
No, it wasn’t that I’d worked hard or done anything special — it was just that I had a horseshoe up my butt or something.
And while I don’t disagree that luck — good and bad — plays a huge role in every aspect of our lives, this guy missed the point completely.
He failed and I succeeded at Medium because he chose to spend his time getting mad online, and I chose to spend mine creating my own luck.
I recently published a story about the 3 ways I generate luck and money online, but I know some of you prefer to hear from me in video format — so I made the one below for you.
I hope you enjoy it!
Hey, thank you for watching! If you liked that video, I have close to 50 more on my channel here!
Agree or disagree with my take? Have a great idea about how to create your own success and put the odds in your favor? Let me know in the comments!
Someone once said, “The harder I work, the luckier I get”.
