The 3 Types of Luck — What 10x Winners Do Differently

The gist

1. Luck has three defining elements: you didn't cause it, it carries significant consequences, and it comes as a surprise.
2. 10x winners get no more lucky breaks than peers; the difference is how much return they generate when a luck event hits.
3. Who luck, like meeting a mentor or spouse, is often undervalued but ranks among life's most consequential chance events.
4. Positioning yourself in high-activity environments, like Silicon Valley for startups, increases your surface area for beneficial luck.
