You're listening to Quick Wins with Adam Kantos. And from top of the 12th floor of Remax World Headquarters, Adam Kantos here with a quick win. Producer Mark, we got a good one today. Yeah, I'm excited to hear what my task is for the day. Well, let me ask you this. Here's the question that goes with this quick win. Have you ever heard somebody say, that person's so lucky? Yeah. Wow, look how lucky that shot was. Yeah. Oh, that guy. You're watching the Masters or whatever. Oh, that was a lucky putt. Come on. Yeah. Right? And I've seen that before. I've seen people go, wow, you're so lucky. You're

in shape. Yeah. I found it on the street corner one day. Right. So let's talk about this. Yeah. Is luck really the result of just some magical being coming through going, bling, you're lucky. Okay. Bling, your job is going really well. Or bling, you're in super good shape. Or hey, you can do this for your family. You're so lucky.

Is that really a function of luck? Yeah, I don't think so. So you told me a quote before. Yeah. Where does luck come from? The quote I heard was, the harder you work, the luckier you'll get. Whoa. You mean I have to work for this luck?

Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. That's a tough one. Yeah. You know, it's funny. When people start talking about luck, it's almost like a passive-aggressive response to jealousy. Right, yeah. Or they're like, oh, well, I could do that, but I'm just not as lucky as them.

Right, yeah. You're lucky because you were this. Yeah. Nope. Sorry, I worked for it. Let's think about that. You know, that's really a function of your choices. Are you willing to put in the effort?

Are you willing to take the risk? Because results don't come without risk. If you're not going to do that, work hard, put in the risk, have the grit and the endurance to continue, I think luck is going to be a lot less frequent in your world. That's a key thought for today. That's today's quick win. Don't try and be lucky.

Try and work hard. You know, put in the effort, and make it happen yourself instead of relying upon lady luck to bring it to you. Thank you so much for listening to Quick Wins with Adam Kantos.
