Dr. Tina Seelig argues that luck is not a random occurrence but a controllable outcome of a prepared mind and intentional action. By reframing problems, cultivating relationships through genuine appreciation, and taking calculated risks, individuals can systematically increase their exposure to positive opportunities. Luck is a long-term investment, not a lottery win.
Key insight: Luck is a team sport; most people miss opportunities because they fail to follow up or build long-term relationships, leaving 'gold coins on the table' by not sending a simple thank-you or maintaining contact.
