Good morning.

How are you?

It's actually one that I requested.

Yes, which is... You know what?

So normally it's something like after the lucky event.

So, you know, someone has bought a home before a massive boom or someone got a really high paid work opportunity or contract or someone has financial support or, you know, particular type of like income.

special education or is well connected to a wealthy, successful uncle or a rich grandmother or they happen just to make the right investment at the right time.

And this is where people, I say it's after the event because people are looking at the outcome completely differently

disregarding the process behind the scenes because underneath luck is so much about the timing, the access, the exposure to the opportunity, the resilience, you know, because obviously some things are full of risk and you've got to really sort of

If you're feeling nervous, you've got to weigh up all those risks.

And also, they've got to have the ability to have the income or perhaps even the savings to be able to be in a position to actually take on those risks or borrow that money or actually be able to experience that particular event.

I think luck plays a huge element in someone's financial success.

But it is not success alone.

I'm going to be really firm about that.

This is why I say if you look behind the scenes, go deeper as to what the person's gone through.

Nine times out of ten, it has been a huge amount of really hard work.

It's about being consistent over a long period of time.

It's about being incredibly patient, mentally resilient, particularly when things have been, you know,

scary and fragile, and also having a sound system behind you, enabling you to stick to the process and the strategy in order to create this successful or lucky outcome.

Well, let's just go back a second because there's actually some science behind, you know, luck and successful outcomes.
