You definitely have my sub. This content is next level. I had not heard of these categorised types of luck and the detailed explanation and examples you gave to go with it. So obvious when you have an expert orator, writer, personable presenter explain it all. So much gold in this short vid. Please keep doing what you do and keep being you, love it.
This may be the single most impactful youtube video for me at the right time for me to see it. Thanks for posting this! I think I finally know what I need to do
I do regularly watch Alex’s contents and I learned a lot , and when I watch your channel, I often find you have a very unique perspective on your thoughts, very refreshing to learn, plus I think you are a phenomenal storyteller, may I ask why you are so smart?
That's awesome to hear, Vanessa. I'm a big fan of Alex as well. I appreciate the love and kind words. Truly, it means a lot to know you're getting so much value from the videos! Thank you.
Vanessa, do you know any women's channels like this? I can't help but think that the way women need to move through the world on the path to success is very different.
Your videos truly are inspiring, DEEPLY insightful (something that it is rare to find on UA-cam these days) and well thought out. Discovered your channel through a Captain Sindbad video, subscribed immediately and it is one of the best decisions I've made. I was... lucky.. to find you. Looking forward to all of your future content. Keep going and keep growing!
Absolutely. No doubt about it. You can't hit that long basket shot if you haven't been out pitching balls in the rain for years. I think it was golf legend Lee Trevino who put it this way: “Regardless of where I am, or what the weather is, or what the occasion is, every day I hit 1000 balls. When I step out onto the course, I know where the ball is going, my opponents only think they know where the ball is going.”
@@AnthonyVicino And isn't that related so well with another video of yours I just finished watching "THIS is (slowly) ruining your financial future." You're position in that video is exactly not only how I trade currencies but also how I teach, and discussed in my own recent video "Fail Fast and Fail Often In Your FOREX Trading". If there's ever a "secret" to success at anything you've clearly presented it in this video and the other that I mentioned I just finished. It was a little more difficult for me to do that in my real estate career, but most of the stuff that I bought, I bought in a relatively short period of time - about 5 years - and just let it most of it sit and do its thing for the next 25 years.....
@@longwoodcurrencytrading Nice. You definitely let 'time do the heavy lifting" on the real estate. I love that! And yes! This video is closely linked with the "THIS is (slowly) ruining..." video! Glad you made that connection.
@@AnthonyVicino I'd only want to comment to you that I moved out of real estate for that exact reason: the time necessary to compound. I lost a million dollar net worth twice in my life. I made it back each time. But it took me 10 years. Each time. After I retired I sold off my real estate because of that and moved to currencies because the whole issue of compounding goes away. I wish those characteristics were available back when I was 25 because I would have opted for currencies over real estate. However, I was "lucky" that I got into real estate....
Great video! It's an interesting breakdown of luck (seemingly expanded upon the old saying that luck is where "preparation meets opportunity?") that I hadn't really heard before, but mentioned in other ways using different words and phrases. You touch upon things not necessarily being interconnected, leaving it up to individuals to consciously decide how to connect the dots themselves, which I think can be a fundamental truth in the economic world we currently live in. I find it REALLY fascinating to explore the idea of rock bottoms and turnaround points for individuals. While I've only consumed maybe 15ish hours of Hormozi's content (vs. 100s of hours for you lol), it was really interesting to hear from him different critical points in his life that both changed the way he did business and the way he perceived the world--referring to 1) seemingly losing everything in his gym onboarding business when individual gym owners went behind his back to cut out his share, causing him to change his strategy and "luckily" make bank; and 2) sitting and doing nothing for one year with a bunch of money, but still feeling miserable and depressed, causing him to come to certain realizations (which he revealed on Graham Stephan's Iced Coffee Hour) that immediately reminded me of what I've learned from some the world renowned spiritual teachers of today. It does seem to me that suffering, in whatever form it comes, gives us a choice of whether we want to continue with it or use it to learn, take action, start anew with something, etc.
I love learning about peoples' "turnaround points" as well. I find it fascinating. So much gold to be mined in those depths! Psyched to hear you enjoyed the video, Jimmy!
This is probably one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Really puts things into proper perspective of what’s in your control and what isn’t. And how to bend things towards success through hard work without falling into the trap of believing that “being the hardest worker will inevitably lead to the most success.” When anyone who has even looked at the world the slightest bit critically will realise this isn’t true.
Thank you so much, Anthony. I found your channel through Nikhil and I aspire to be in your leagues someday. This is such an essential video for what I've been feeling recently. Awesome work. Subscribed and can't wait you have in store.
My boy is back big hug buddy I only leave your videos with a great enthusiasm to get my job done and my tasks achieved i'am rooting for you man don't you ever leave UA-cam you've become a great source of inspiration for a lot of people out there me included 😁
Love, love, love Naval, but the framework of Luck he speaks about is actually derivin from the book I mentioned in the video. That's the true original source of this of many of these ideas.
I actually like this video very much, the information and ideas you're providing are some of my thinkings about life and succcess, also don't know if people said this before but you resemble Saul Goodman a lot lol, good luck man!
Anthony, you never disappoint. You speak to people, not at them. I always leave your videos with more knowledge than I had 20 minutes before. Thank you!
My surface area of luck paid off recently when my love of 3D printing kicked off a good relationship with a guy that got me a job that was a massive raise from what I was making before.
I have a question regarding business strategy: Is it more advantageous to adopt a gradual approach in a large established market, focusing on increasing value over time to attract customers, or should I take the risk of targeting smaller markets with the potential downside of limited scalability due to insufficient demand?
This is a great question. Yes, market matters... But if this is your first business, don't overthink it. The variable which will dictate your success is skill , which in the beginning, you don't have much. Focus all your energies in creating an awesome product that serves your customer and then go out and get sales. Everything up until that point is just hypothetical.
I think Alex Hormozi would agree with you. I was also listening to another podcast with ceos who do 9 figures and they also mirrored your gist here. I love this approach, it’s more contextual and nuanced and closer in understanding to reality for most people. I have a follow up q; from my experience luck usually comes in batches, like it’s nothing for a long time then 2/3 opportunities at once. In the past I’ve taken the first one that came along (desperation), thereby missing out on the 2nd/3rd that was 10x bigger… I didn’t ditch the 1st because of loyalty. Have you ever come across this? What frameworks do you use to deal with these possibilities?
Yeah, I got Hormozi's seal of approval on this one, so he's definitely in agreement. Great point about how nothing happens for the longest time until suddenly everything happens at once. Definite truth there. My system has been to keep a Decision Journal and systematically work through each decision before jumping in. I break this concept down in the Million Dollar Skillstack video. That would definitely be worth a watch if you haven't already.
Your UA-cam channel is popping off. I guess you make your own luck. I’m strongly thinking about starting a UA-cam channel to teach short coding videos. I know there are already many, but it would be good to kick up some dust. See if something sticks.
@@AnthonyVicinomy bad, it seemed to me the commenter almost subscribed based only on reading your title:p maybe not. I'm sorry. Loved the video topic!!🎉
I completely don’t believe in luck and coincidence. Everything happens in our life must had a purpose even if we don’t know it till now. I really wanna know your opinion about this, and what do you think about attraction law? Is it logical or does it works? I look forward to hear your thoughts…
Shower. Wear well-fitted clothes that compliment your body. Stand with good posture Move with confidence and... most importantly... Take your shot. Most people struggle to find a mate because they simply aren't taking enough shots on goals.
Some do admit it's luck. Silvio Santos, started as radio and TV presenter and became one of Brasil's richest, has said in interviews he considers it was mostly luck.
I saw one video of this guy wand was like "Wow hes not very smart" but everybody was talking about how smart and talented he is Edit: Oh I thought this was a call out video, it is not
Thanks for helping me to believe that I won the Universal Lottery. I love it very much to know that once you wrote many and tried to be Stephen king. Thanks 🎉.

That's exactly right, Chris. Unfortunately, that last video was very old and had a lot of room for improvement. As a result, it was a low performer. The concept of Luck is so important that I really wanted to take another attempt at getting it out to more people.
Appreciate you checking out the video, brother. Unfortunately, you were only one of roughly 12,000 people who watched that other video. The core concept is so important that I wanted to take another crack at spreading the message more broadly now that we have a larger audience.
