How to get lucky (without being rich):

1. Luck Razor - If given 2 options, pick the one that has the most luck potential. E.g. Cocktail party vs watching Netflix. Which one has the highest potential for future luck?

2. Avoid Boring People - Avoid people that bore you. And avoid being the boring person in the room. The more interesting you are, the more interesting opportunities people share with you.

3. Poker Mindset > Roulette Mindset - Ridiculous but true statement...

Playing a game of roulette thinking it's poker is better than playing a game of poker thinking it’s roulette. Assume everything is a game of skill. There's usually something you can control if you look hard enough.

4. Delete The Scoreboard - Relentlessly give to good people with no scoreboard in your head keeping track. You’ll end up lucky, fulfilled, and have a packed funeral.

5. Introduce People - If friend A and friend B can get value from each other - introduce them. It's a 30-second email for you and may change their lives forever. Networks are unique because they don't divide when you share them -- they multiply.

6. Get More Curious With Age - Curiosity is like your joints - it weakens with age. Assume your first thoughts about new trends are wrong. Age like Gary Vee or Mark Cuban. Put 20 hours into a new trend before you have an opinion.

7. Pursue High Leverage Relaxation - Rank all relaxation activities on this:

A. Impact
B. Time it takes

Find the highest leverage one across both scores. Do it regularly. It's hard to notice lucky opportunities when your cortisol is through the roof.

8. Get Good At Marketing - The ultimate meta-skill. If you can create a persuasive ad or landing page, you can create a persuasive CV or job interview.

Lifehack: Most people are awful at marketing.

9. Reverse Prison Advice - The cliche prison advice to a new prisoner is to punch the biggest person in the prison. Flip this on its head.

Find the best people you know and help them as much as you can. (Share their projects, give feedback, make intro’s, etc)
