Luck has everything to do with it!

Although I was taught to believe that hard work pays, but now I am prepared to change this belief. I am not saying I will stop working hard but since hard work has become second nature I will shift my focus to the rather elusive, unexplainable quality. It is is a quality I have tried to justify its cause but currently I am going to change this justifiction.

Luck!

You can't buy luck nor anyone knows definitely where luck comes from. It's rare to know, or have it. Very rare! I believe. I want it, everybody wants it, we all want, but I know I want badly.

Luck is the fine line between average AND remarkable success.

We hear stories about people who were born poor, with no food, work their ass off to get to the top. How many people work their arse off to get to their top but do not go beyond average. I personally convinced that I desperately need the luck to make that breakthrough which has been playing itself in my head for long.

I have taken various steps to see through this breakthrough. Now am starting to realise that I have gone too far, thus I need luck to be on my side. I need to be lucky to have made F&O Logistics a multi-million rand company in its first 18 months of operation. I need luck to survive everyday of my life. I need luck to be there whenever I get to work hard.

I have all the plans in place to make a breakthrough of my life. What I need right now is luck to be there to back me up. I really need luck because I plan, work and take decisive actions to ensure I am really pragmatic about my breakthrough.

Because I still have the slight belief of the school of thoughts that one need to make his own luck. I will detail below how will I make my own luck because I do need luck.

How I will make my own luck:

• Succesfully apply for business funding from NEF


• Constantly approach 5 clearing agents per week regarding transportation of containers for by F&O Logistics


• Approach forwarding agents and cold call importers/exporters to inform them about F&O's customs clearing function


• Ensure I convert business opportunities to sales by offering good service and competitive rates.


• Manage my business and personal finances shrewdly and rather prudently.

The above are not necessarily the only actions I will take to further make my own luck but I believe they are the benchmark in which highlight and entrench my current actions which I will see as luck creaters.

Wish me luck cause I need luck.

Hard work and luck needs to go hand-in-hand with me!
