I went to this page and got some obnoxious “Congradulations YOU WON!” thing blasting through my speakers.

You posted an article about being true to yourself. Does blasting marketing crap over someones speakers fit with your vision of what you want to do?

As a lifecoach, thats what i normally say to my clients. Do not be afraid to face failure, because most of the times, failures make us more stronger and wiser. And like what you said, we can turn failures into wins!

Excellent advice! Some of which I have arrived at, or am in the process of arriving at, and some of which could have been written just for me.

When it comes to the MBA regrets, I had the same. Just happened to post a very similar thing a week ago. http://laforceteamwork.com/Life/Networking-Opportunities.html

Very weird to hear you say that “luck matters”, and then immediately give 9 concrete things that eliminated the need for luck from your life and are now bringing you success.

Luck only matters if you are relying on luck….and then you should prepare to be gravely disappointed, because in entrepreneurship, luck does not exist. Opportunities knock for everyone….it’s just that most entrepreneurs are stuck in a basement trying to figure things out alone, trying to get the attention of someone with a lot of hype, or pitching for funding from people who don’t care….instead of DOING, FORMING RELATIONSHIPS and LISTENING for opportunity.

Being “bright and hard working” is a requirement, but not an assurance of success. If you’re working hard and smart but alone and against the trend….ya…..luck is your only hope.
