How to Create Your Own Luck: The You Never Know Approach to Networking, Taking Chances, and Opening Yourself to Opportunity Susan Roane

Networking guru Susan RoAne shows readers how to exploit chance to create a bigger network of contacts, friends, and acquaintances - the key to new life opportunities. In How to Create Your Own Luck, she reveals the eight traits of successful people who make their own luck, rather than wait for it. Filled with engaging and instructive stories of real people who've turned serendipity into success, her book focuses on the eight counterintuitive traits that they all have in common, including talking to strangers, making small talk, dropping names, and even eavesdropping. This handy, real-world guide reveals the practical ways that anyone can create their own luck-opening up new opportunities in every aspect of life.

How to Create Your Own Luck Bewertungen

Networking guru RoAne (How to Work a Room) shares common-sense suggestions about how to network in this run-of-the-mill advice book. Using cute catch phrases (those who are open to opportunity are called You Never Know It Alls), she makes the point that folks create their own luck by having eight unusual suspect traits. (Of course, they also work hard, are persistent and have a positive attitude--the usual suspects indicating success.) These counterintuitive traits include making small talk; dropping names; eavesdropping and listening; straying from their chosen paths; and saying yes when they want to say no. Each chapter shares numerous stories of people turning serendipity (such as chance encounters) into success by utilizing at least one of these traits. When we are open and pay attention to signs, signals, situations, and people, we are building our own internal serendipity generators, RoAne writes. However, aside from the inspiring examples, there's not enough specific how-to to help readers apply RoAne's advice to their own situations. While she puts a nice spin on basic networking principles, this somewhat repetitive book doesn't add much to the Chinese tenet luck is when preparation meets opportunity. (For another take on this subject, see Networking Magic by Rick Frishman and Jill Lublin) (Oct.) (Publishers Weekly, August 23, 2004)
