I think a bunch of things that people often classify as "luck" should really be looked at as timing issues. Part of building a business is understanding market conditions and competition. I get that things can come completely out of left field, but there are different degrees to which you can monitor competition and how receptive people will be to your product or service. It's dangerous (and potentially fatal) to be head down building your product and ignoring looming threats.

> I think a bunch of things that people often classify as "luck" should really be looked at as timing issues. I think there's some Venn Diagramming to be done here. Luck doesn't mean that something is impossible to react to; it simply means that you're not the instigating agent of the event. There's a very large set of categories that are luck, and some of those are timing issues.
