Preparation #8: Preparation Meets Opportunity – How Readiness Creates “Luck”

People often say, “You were lucky to be in the right place at the right time.” But real luck isn’t random—it’s readiness meeting opportunity.

The truth is, opportunity rarely announces itself. It shows up quietly, disguised as extra work, a sudden challenge, or an unexpected ask. Those who have front-loaded their effort—who have prepared before the moment arrives—are the ones who can say yes without hesitation.

Preparation gives you confidence. It transforms uncertainty into momentum. Whether it’s a career opening, a competition, or a chance to lead, your preparation determines whether you’re ready to step forward or forced to step aside.

Front-loading your work—your skills, mindset, and systems—means you’re already positioned for the opportunity before it appears. When that moment comes, you don’t need to get ready… because you are ready.

Be Prepared

Nothing is worse than saying no to an opportunity because you didn’t complete everything else that needs to be done. Procrastination will interfere with opportunities and take away your ability to grow. Front-load everything you can so that when “Life Happens” or “Opportunity Knocks,” you are ready to say yes.
