I once read a story about Colonel Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). He travelled the country in a beat-up car, peddling his ridiculous fried chicken recipe for years. He knocked on door after door and was turned down. Eventually, after years of trying, someone bought his recipe and the rest is history. So the question is, was Col. Sanders “lucky”? I don’t think so. He simply worked hard.
If you search online for famous quotes about luck, you will find dozens of them that equate luck with hard work. “It’s hard to detect good luck – it looks so much like something you’ve earned.” – Frank Clark. ” “The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.” – Harry Golden. “Luck is the by-product of busting your fanny.” – Don Sutton.
So, why DO some men have all the luck? Maybe they don’t. Maybe they just try harder than you do. Maybe they are like Col. Sanders and peddle their recipe from town to town until they find someone who buys it.
The point is, some men are “lucky” but that “luck” is often because they worked hard. If you shoot enough arrows, you are bound to hit the target eventually. And, that is the motto of many men who have found the women of their dreams.
These men have never been afraid of going up to a woman and talking to her. If they shut him down, he moves on to the next one. Just like interviews, the more you do the better you get. So these men get better and better at meeting women and talking to them until the right one comes around who wants to by his recipe.
Make it a personal challenge to get out there and meet as many women as you can. Refine your “pick up lines”, and learn to brush off failure. This will help you out in your personal life as well as your business life. Learning to become a Col. Sanders who has faith, confidence, and diligence in spite of repeated failure, is a means to success.
As Samuel Goldwyn once said, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” Perhaps with a little more work out there, you too will be lucky!
