Some Call it Luck.
Some Call it Unfair… I call it the
“Unfair Advantage”
It’s when you know the “right people”. It’s the secret behind, “Why does she always get the lucky breaks?!” It’s the difference between working hard, hoping that someday you’ll be tapped on the shoulder…
… and tapping into a network of people who can do for you in 30 seconds (the time it takes to whip out a phone and send an intro) what would take you years to accomplish on your own.
But if you think you need a Yale education, a Private Jet and a PhD in the subtle art of “schmoozing” to get there, you couldn’t be more wrong…
… this is about asking a much better question.

And when a major epiphany hit me in the face like a slice of cold pizza (literally, listen to that story here), here’s what hit home:
Never again would I make my little girl feel like she didn’t matter.
And I knew I needed to change. I didn’t know what, just that I needed to change everything – including ditching the yuppy haircut. 🙂
I started with the one thing I could do, right now: stop wondering, “What can I get from this person”, and do this instead…
Connect with someone every day, treat them like the most important person in the world and find out:
“What do you need help with right now?”
And that simple act (and key question) changed everything.
It got me out of my own way. And that’s when serendipity got a chance…
It’s how I became the editor at large at Arianna Huffington’s Thrive Global. How I helped a company sell for $1.7 billion. How I get entrepreneurs on the Dr. Oz Show. Or a column in Entrepreneur. Or the hottest book agent in NYC.
Go the extra mile and you can shortcut your way to the good stuff: media, PR, referrals, mentors, book deals, collaborations…. Genuine connection is what you need to bring to the table if you want to become “The Lucky One” in your industry.
Because here’s the simple truth…
“You can get everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want”.
