Some people seem to get all the breaks - all the ‘tough’ breaks.
What’s with that?
Some people have parents in the right places, go to the right schools, get picked for the right jobs, and end up in jail.

Bill Gates remarked that a challenge of his has not been “finding good things to do with my resources.” It’s been deciding “THE BEST thing to commit to.” If a guy that had ‘all the luck’ and now has ‘all the money’ still has challenges, then how are we to manage with too little of all of it? There-in is the issue. Who said you don’t have what you need, right now, to do the best thing? Recognizing opportunities is sometimes nothing more than catching ourselves with a ‘stupid conclusion’ based on False Evidence Appearing Real (FEAR), or a solid case of arrested development and a subtle triggering issue. | 
When PREPARATION meets OPPORTUNITY they naively call it “luck” |
Some topics we’ll address:
- Awareness as a discipline
- Saying 'no' to good things
- Coincidence control
- Constant change is “here to stay”
- Spotting or creating?
- Getting ‘unstuck’
- Whales and Wabbits
- Assessing risks
