You missed the biggest part of the story ie, you need to interact with a lot of people asking for their help while backing it up with past achievement and not letting down the ones who trusted you.
Knowing and interacting with tons of different people is what creates luck.
Being good at something is what let's you capitalize on it.
- noahc 16y agoDoesn't shipping do that? It causes you to interact with tons of different people, either directly with your work or in the process of shipping your work.
- keeptrying 16y agoActually you could ship without talking to anyone. and shipping is an economic transaction. It's not a basis for a relationship. You need to know a lot of people who are invested in you personally. That doesn't happen if the relationship is transaction(in an economic sense) based - ie "I'm only interested in talking to you if you can help/buy my product". You need to go out and help people yourself and ask help from others.
- noahc 16y agoI view shipping as putting it out the door. You can ship a blog post that connects with others, and not have an economic transaction. Again, shipping is hitting the post button. You can ship on an e-mail you spent 12 hours researching to help x with their marketing efforts. Sending the e-mail was shipping.
