What if being in the right place at the right time isn't about luck but something you can actually craft? Join me, Fabio, on Journey to Success as we shatter the myth that success is merely a lucky break. Through the experiences of icons like Steve Jobs and Oprah Winfrey, we explore how keen observation, preparation, and the right mindset are the real ingredients to seizing life's golden opportunities. You'll learn practical strategies to cultivate curiosity, forge strong relationships, and always be poised to act when opportunity knocks.

Prepare to transform your perspective on timing and success. This isn't about waiting for the stars to align—it's about aligning yourself with the stars. We dissect how luck is not happenstance but a concoction of preparation and risk-taking, supported by research from psychologist Richard Wiseman. The roadmap to success isn't paved with chance; it's a trail you blaze yourself. Embrace these insights and watch as opportunities multiply around you, shifting your journey from passive waiting to active creation.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Have you ever wondered, guys, why some people
seem to always be in the rightplace at the right time?
Studies show that nearly 70% ofsuccessful entrepreneurs
attribute part of theirachievements to being in the
right place when opportunitiesarose.

(00:21):
Opportunities arose.
What if timing is not just luck?
It's not just about luck, butsomething you can influence.
Hi guys, my name is Fabio fromJourney to Success, and welcome.
You know, timing can feel likefate, but the truth is, you know

(00:42):
, it often comes down toawareness, preparation and
mindset.
So today we are diving into howyou can position yourself for
those golden opportunities.
Whether it's career moves,relationships or personal growth
, being in the right place atthe right time can change

(01:05):
everything.
We all know the feeling of justmissing out.
Maybe you applied for a job toolate, or you met someone
important after the chance tocollaborate at Bust.
This happens to all of us.
But what if we could shift that?
What if we could learn to alignourselves with the right

(01:27):
moments more often?
But, of course, as alwaysbefore, to go forward, please
subscribe.
So I know this is the rightdirection to drive you, to guide
you, to lead you towards yourjourney to success.
To lead you towards yourjourney to success and let's
continue.
Let's start.
So one of the biggest challengespeople face is feeling unlucky.

(01:51):
You know, feeling unlucky orlike they are always just out of
sync.
It's frustrating.
You hear about other sketchingbreaks and wonder why it never
seems to happen to you.
The problem is not thatopportunities don't exist.
Of course they exist, but it isoften about not recognizing

(02:13):
them or not being prepared whenthey appear.
So this creates a cycle wherepeople blame bad luck, but
really it's about not being inthe right mindset or space.
That's it, that's the onlything.
So I want to break this down.
Today we're going to explorewhy timing feels elusive and how

(02:37):
often we let great chances passby.
So let's dig into the scienceand real-life stories behind
timing.
So research suggests that luckis actually a mix of preparation
, risk-taking especially, and anopen mind.

(02:58):
So psychologist Richard Wisemanfound that lucky people often
create their own luck by beingobservant and staying flexible.
Think about entrepreneurs,entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs.
He did not invent technology,but he saw the right trends at
the right time.

(03:18):
Ofra, you know Ofra Winfrey,her career took off not because
of luck People think that but itwasn't because of luck, it was
because she stayed prepared, wasvery you know, on track and
took chances when opportunitiesarose.

(03:38):
So how can we apply this here?
I have a few techniques for you, three techniques.
The first one is stay curious.
You need to be curious, youneed to stay on track.
You need to stay curious,explore new ideas and expand
your horizon.
So people who expose themselvesto different environments often

(04:00):
encounter more opportunities.
So this is the first one.
Second build relationships.
So many opportunities comethrough connections.
If you have a bad connection,you're going to get bad
situations.
If you are going to have a goodconnection, it's going to give
you good situations.

(04:20):
The more people you know, themore likely you are to hear
about chances others might miss.
Okay, be prepared.
Number three.
So stay ready.
Whether it's improving yourskills, saving money or simply
having the right mindset, beingprepared means you can jump when

(04:41):
the moment comes.
Okay, here is the game changer.
You can create your own rightplace, right time moments.
This is not about chasing luck,guys all right.
It's about positioning.
By practicing awareness,staying connected and preparing
yourself.
In this way, you're going tostart to notice more

(05:03):
opportunities.
This is not magic, butintentional effort.
All right Mindset is everything.
So when you shift from waitingfor luck to creating it.
Your whole perspective is goingto change.
It's going to be easier also,and when you step into that
mindset, amazing things canhappen.
So now let's recap.

(05:23):
You know a little bit whatwe've talked about today.
First, the myth that success isall about luck.
First, the myth that success isall about luck.
Number two, how preparation andawareness play key roles.
And number three, techniques toincrease your chances of being

(05:49):
at the right place at the righttime.
Timing is not something we liveto fate, guys.
All right, it's not about that.
It's something we influence byhow we think and act every day.
And the more you practice, themore you are going to see
opportunities everywhere.
Now I would love to hear fromyou have you ever felt like you
were in the right place at theright time?
Maybe the opposite, missing outby just a little bit?
