The Pathless Path with Paul Millerd

NOTE

Increase your Surface Area of Luck through Networking

Expanding your surface area of luck involves increasing opportunities for success by creating more chances for luck to find you. By making contacts, trying different endeavors, and being open to new experiences, you enhance the likelihood of stumbling upon valuable opportunities. Networking, often viewed negatively, plays a significant role in expanding this surface area. Connecting with like-minded individuals and engaging in professional social interactions can have a profound impact on your endeavors, making tasks easier and more fruitful. Despite potential discomfort, networking is a learnable skill that can greatly benefit individuals, even introverts, in increasing their chances of success.
