How to Make Things go Better than You Planned
Make and execute a plan. Then leverage the serendipity that falls in your favor.

Great achievers always have a plan. It's common knowledge that there will always be unanticipated obstacles and issues when it comes to its execution. But, what the great achievers also know is that just as often there will be unanticipated opportunities. 

Make it a point to practice the spontaneous harvesting of welcome surprises. Instead of feeling interrupted you will begin to look forward to them. Soon enough you will be spinning your own flywheel faster and faster.

flywheelFlyweels deliver energy at rates beyond the ability of a continuous energy source. This is achieved by collecting energy in the flywheel over time and then releasing the energy quickly, at rates that exceed the abilities of the energy source.

When you consistently take advantage of unforeseen opportunities you create greater and greater momentum that lends itself to the overarching goal and contributes dramatically toward success, often exceeding expectations.

Keep to these two: (a) methodical execution of an ambitious strategy and (b) continual readiness to parlay unanticipated breaks to your advantage. That's how to make your own luck.

When an unforeseen opportunity arises later today, will you be ready?
