So if you happen to walk across a $100 bill versus if you went out on the beach with your metal detector and spent hours looking for something, these are simple metaphors.

But did you happen to run into somebody who wanted you to paint their house today?

Or did you knock on 200 doors and find three people who wanted you to paint their house today?

Spotted luck is just the ability to sort of position yourself at a place where luck happens to you, right?

And so this is, you know, maybe the highest order decision is, like, where do you live?

Like, what's your exposure?

What's your surface area to look?

If you say you can't find anybody, like, ask out on a date.

Like, okay, how often are you, like, going to parties?

Have you left your house?

Like...

where are your habits?

How many companies have you started?

How many companies have you met with?

Like how many customers have you approached?

Like these things are, you can control your surface area to luck essentially.

And then the final form where like luck becomes your destiny is you just become so uniquely known for a thing.

Like you've reached such a final form of awareness and excellence and authenticity that luck finds its way to you.

And

Like Warren Buffett is an example of, is it lucky that he gets a phone call?
