Luck = Preparation + Opportunity

It can take years to get "lucky." Put the hard work in and be patient, because the opportunity will come when you're ready for it.

Gisele talks about the difficulty in the neighborhood revitalization efforts that has taken a couple years before the right connection "serendipitously" arrived at an event. If you're ready for an opportunity you could catapult your success, on the other hand you could crash and burn if not prepared!

Make a list to track your accomplishments, no matter how small.

Success is a personal measurement. Write down measures of success you can track when you are a big dreamer, so you don't get discouraged.

Find people to be positive criticizers for you!

You can't get to where you're going, if you don't know where you are (Gisele will be writing a song about this, keep an eye out).
