- 0:10I'm your host, Andrew McGivern and let's jump into today's
- 0:13quote from Arnold Palmer, the legendary golfer and seven time
- 0:17major champion. He once said, the more I
- 0:21practice, the luckier I get. 5 words that destroy the myth of
- 0:27luck. People looked at Arnold Palmer
- 0:30and saw a lucky man, Lucky shots, lucky breaks, and lucky
- 0:34wins. Palmer looked at the same
- 0:37results and saw something completely different.
- 0:40Thousands of hours of practice. Here's the truth about luck.
- 0:46It's not random. It's preparation, meeting
- 0:49opportunity. When you practice relentlessly,
- 0:54when you put in the hours nobody sees, when you refine your
- 0:58skills day after day, you're not getting luckier.
- 1:02You're getting better at recognizing opportunities and
- 1:05skilled enough to capitalize on them.
- 1:08That lucky shot that won the tournament?
- 1:10Palmer hit that exact shot 10,000 times on the practice
- 1:14range when the pressure was on his hands.
- 1:18Knew what to do. That lucky break in business.
- 1:23The entrepreneur who got it had been building skills and
- 1:26relationships for years. When opportunity knocked, they
- 1:31were ready. Most people see success and call
- 1:34it luck because they don't see the practice.
- 1:37They didn't see all the work that went into it.
- 1:40They see the tournament win, but not the early morning sessions
- 1:43on the range. They see the deal close, but not
- 1:47the years of learning the craft. Palmer's telling us stop waiting
- 1:51to get lucky, start practicing instead.
- 1:55Here's the question, what goal are you calling impossible
- 1:59because you haven't got lucky yet?
- 2:03Stop waiting for luck. Start practicing because the
- 2:07more you practice, the luckier you're going to get.
