The Harder I Work, The Luckier I Get

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Andre

Another Mark Suster article hit my radar recently, The Harder I Work, The Luckier I Get. In this article Suster reminds us Hard Work, Luck, and Success are intertwined. I’d like to add the only one you have control over is Hard Work. Focus on that and Luck and Success will show up when they are ready.
