Have you ever wondered if someone else was luckier than you?
They get the deal and you don't. They got chosen and you didn't.
They're in the right place at the right time and you aren't.
Over the years, I have found that luck is directly related to not quitting.
True Story:
There was a Realtor who was envious of another Realtor that seemed to get all the listings in the neighborhood. Upon investigation, he found out that the secret to the successful Realtor's sales was that he walked the neighborhood and knocked on doors. When residents answered, he asked them if they were thinking about selling.
Seemed easy enough. So the not-so-successful Realtor decided to walk the neighborhood and knock on doors, just like the successful Realtor did. But after a full week of door-knocking, he didn't get one good lead. So, he quit.
Later that year, at an awards banquet, the successful Realtor got the top sales award AGAIN.
The not-so-successful Realtor leaned over to the person next to him and asked, "How do you think he does it?" The person answered, "I'm not sure, but last week I saw him putting a flyer on my neighbor's door in the rain . Maybe he's just lucky."
My Dad used to say, "Winners never quit and quitters never win." It's an old adage but it holds a lot of truth. If you're doing the right thing, keep on doing it. Then just smile when others call you lucky.
