Actually no. Some people's luck comes too early in life, some too late.
I seized my opportunity when it came and I succeeded. I know of others who seized similar opportunities and who failed. Luck was the determining factor and I am eager to pay it forward.
is there such a thing as luck too early or too late?years ago i read this story about a japanese economics professor Takichiro Mori who taught trade theory in yokohama city university until he was 55 before he quit teaching to join his late father's humble real estate business.....years later he became the world's richest man,number one on forbes in 1992 and 1993 at the peak of japan's economy.
then years later i was watching this tv show,dragons den canadian series,theres this Jim trevelin the oldest guy on the show and one of the funnier ones,he used to be a police officer for fourteen years until he got sick of it and wanted to do something else,he noticed at the time that pizza chain restaurants was starting to become popular in the 1970s so he wanted to open one......yada yada yada twenty years later he has over 300 restaurants in his chain boston pizza and nearly 600 mil networth.
theres alot of people around us with the entrepreneur spirit and the capitalist instincts that do not realise it until much later in life.
then theres also sheldon adelson who is a scumbag,but theres no denying he is a born businessman/entrepreneur.....hes started over 50 companies in his lifetime,he was a millionaire twice and went broke before the age of 30 back in the 60s when being a millionaire meant something,not like today when any tom dick and harry can become millionaires and drive ferraris and whatnot.back in the 1960s,there was only 4000 millionaires in america,today theres more than 9.3 million.one of his biggest success was a computer fair COMDEX that he sold for 800 million.
and then theres mark cuban,and richard branson,all entrepreneurs from a young age,all with multiple companies each one successively bigger and bigger.then theres chuck feeney and li ka shing and robert kuok and tan kah kee.....born businessmen,i dont think these people needs luck,they just do it over and over again,creating winner after winner companies,like mike tyson and muhammad ali creating K.O.s.
