Dear Friends,
I hope that this month's newsletter finds you well!
March is usually associated with St. Patrick's Day, which is usually associated with Irish people and there's an old saying about "The luck of the Irish" and that's what lead me to this month's topic!
Everyone wishes that he or she was luckier. And rightfully so, but what if I told you that there are some simple secrets that you can learn that will automatically make you luckier? Sounds pretty interesting, doesn't it?

Well as it turns out there is more to luck than just good fortune, there is a bit of "science" at work as well. It turns out that "lucky" people actually have a few well kept secrets that I've uncovered.
Secrets of Luck
Secret #1: There's No Such Thing as Luck.
The first secret is that lucky people don't believe in luck! Highly successful people will often talk about serendipity or happy coincidences but they avoid the word "luck". That's because the word "luck" implies a lack of control and truly lucky people have learned that you do have control over it.

Secret #2: Bad Things Happen. The most common and most useful way to have good luck is to find opportunities in the problems that life sends your way. Great fortunes have been made by people who look at a problem from a unique perspective and then find a solution. Many times they are seen as lucky but they are actually opportunists. Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx, was a charter pilot who noticed how often big companies like IBM and Xerox were using their expensive corporate jets just to fly computer parts around to keep their computers up and running. He saw the problem and came up with a unique solution which turned into a $27 billion dollar business!
