Read my 300+ articles – to gain additional insights for massive professional and business success - among the 900+ in my two websites and 2000+ answers on my Quora page.
The most critical random elements of massive success – differentiates between – your having a great long lasting profitable and globally admired business - and a business that has succeed for a small burst of time – it is also applicable to your professional success & growth.
This might make you ask a logical question – like - Is phenomenal Business Success a Random Event or a Detailed Planned & Executed Brilliantly Phenomenon.
Well - you certainly need to execute and follow the aforesaid 10 mandatory elements along with other Basics – BUT you also need a massive dose of random LUCK for unprecedented success.
If you study global businesses for their success trajectory & the period they were on top– you may discover that - Sometimes all the planning and adeptly executed strategies may not ensure and guarantee the optimal outcome.
Massive success is seemingly random – irrespective of what or who you are - a startup, a scientist, or an artist.
These random elements – are neither linear nor fixed nor uniform for all – meaning each success story has its randomness.
And then these pieces keep changing all the time – making it difficult to predict what will work.
Even if you have a fantastic plan and execute and implement everything masterly – you may still go wrong and may not achieve what you have been planning for.
Conversely – you may succeed – due to something completely unexpected.
Here I would like to quote an example for one of the richest businessmen in the world – who did not have much business acumen or creativity and breakthrough ideas. BUT he had cunningness, an opportunistic attitude and THE LUCK TO BE ASSOCIATED with great plunderers – who made him this rich. BUT this could be one unique example where none of the business success factors existed – ONLY except LUCK & being totally totally unscrupulous worked.
Unexpected occurrences could be an unrelated and random conversation with someone OR what you heard someone say in the room in his or her group or a book of fiction that you read or a show/movie you watched – gives you an insight about a new market, a new product or services or a niche [that nobody ever paid attention to or thought about] – OR triggers a chain of thoughts that leads to a massive success story.
Many time your best efforts in the right direction might get beaten by someone who has had a very important random piece of success and luck.
Many of the greatest of great OR G.O.A.T. – understand, accept, and respect this randomness – and as a result of this understanding - they also develop the skill to cope with the disappointments – and it gives them the focus to ensure that their talents, skills, and abilities are most robust and up to date.
Life is full of unpredictable variables - variables that none of us can control nor predict – many times this Clarity comes with time.
BUT BUT BUT - for professional and business success - luck is not always a 100% chance factor – meaning by taking certain steps as outlined here in this article – you can trigger the random luck AND make it work for you.
You get lucky – when you are alert to possibilities - and are on constant look-out for the breakthrough opportunities – continuously asking yourself the most fundamentally basic questions about the future and working diligently on discovering how you can create a new disruptive future.
Once you acquire this psych and thinking pattern and make it part of your natural disposition – you may discover more elements of random success coming your way.
Luck matters more in an absolute sense - the wilder the success - the more extreme and unlikely - the circumstances that caused it.
Because even if you make a very good initial choice -you can't be expected to understand all the factors that cause world-class outcomes [and for that matter no-one can].
You might execute with great efficiency and follow all basic factors of business success and improve all the processes AND remove the lacune in the greatest organization in the world [in your domain] –- Still, you may not beat the businesses with random element of success on their side.
Determined and focused hard-work leads to a moderate success – and there are measurable factors that can be compared to identify what caused success - like types & quality of education, parental and societal conditioning, habits and talents and choices made.
Mild success can be explainable by skills and labor. Wild success is attributable to variance.
It doesn't matter how successful or unsuccessful you are right now. What matters is whether your habits are putting you on the path toward success.
You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results.
Please understand that -You can only control the gradient of your success, not your initial position.
Bill Gates might have been incredibly fortunate to start Microsoft at the right time in history -but without decades of hard work – Microsoft might not have been where it is today.
Time erodes every advantage -At some point, good luck requires hard work and execution of all the basic elements of success – to sustain and grow even larger.
