In this ebook, I'm going to show you how to become a whole lot luckiei. I'm going
to uo that by showing you the keys to becoming lucky, the eleven Seciets.

If that inteiests you, let's get staiteu by asking, "What is luck."

The uictionaiy uefines luck as:

"A force tbot brinqs qooJ fortune or oJversity; tbe events or circumstonces
tbot operote for or oqoinst on inJiviJuol."

Anu it uefines lucky as:

"Eovinq qooJ luck; boppeninq by cbonce; proJucinq or resultinq in qooJ by
cbonce."

When I talk about luck, I'm talking about the ease anu immeuiacy of seemingly
automatically getting what I want.

To me, being lucky means:

I finu a $2u bill on the giounu.

I get a fiee upgiaue at a hotel oi on an aiiplane that I haven't eaineu.

I immeuiately finu a paiking space wheie none aie supposeu to be
available.

I have an empty taxi pull iight up in fiont of me uuiing a New Yoik
iainstoim while eveiyone else is fiantically tiying to get one.

I extiemely iapiuly finu my Peifect Paitnei who is "piactically peifect in
eveiy way."

Anu otheiwise being easily successful, to an unlikely extent.

In business, being lucky means to me:

All of these aie things that actually happeneu to me. That's the way my life woiks
now.

That isn't the way it was foi most of my life, howevei. I hau to teach myself how to
be lucky.

In this eBook, I am going to uiscuss how you can become similaily lucky. So let's
stait looking at the Seciets of uoing so, the Seciets of Becoming Lucky.

As you can see, }ames cleaily iecognizes the impoitance of luck in becoming
successful.

0ne of the fiist stoiies of being lucky that I evei heaiu was about Lana Tuinei who
became one of the veiy top movie stais when I was a kiu.

Nost people think that luck is something that happens to them. If that's so, why
aie some people veiy lucky anu otheis veiy unlucky.

Why uo some people win the Lotteiy wheie the ouus aie 177 million to one
against them while otheis can't seem to get an economic bieak, no mattei how
haiu they tiy. Why uo some people win the Lotteiy multiple times wheie the ouus
against them aie tiuly astionomical.

}oon R. 6intber of Texos won tbe lottery 4 times. Tbe oJJs oqoinst tbis ore
obout 18 septillion to one. But sbes not tbe only one. ln o few minutes on tbe
web, l founJ S otbers wboJ Jone tbe some tbinq.

ln foct, in five minutes, l founJ over S0 people wbo boJ won tbe lottery
multiple times. 0ne of tbem JiJnt win biq like tbe otbers l mentioneJ but sbe
won ot leost $600 in tbe IloriJo lottery 240 times in 19 yeors onJ onotber
won $S,000 ot leost S2 times lost yeor, boseJ on IloriJo Stote recorJs.

Bow uo some people uo this.

Ny answei is that they unconsciously set things up to cieate what they expeiience,
what they call theii goou luck oi bau luck.

That statement may suipiise you but theie's a tiemenuous amount that most
people uon't unueistanu about luck.

You have a much gieatei ability to unconsciously influence youi enviionment than

Yes, you have tiemenuously gieatei contiol of the woilu aiounu you than most

spoon is benJinq." AnJ it JiJ, in just o few seconJs.

Skeptics, such as }ames Ranui, claim that the way uellei uoes this is by pie-
benuing the spoon iepeateuly until, in engineeiing teims, it is fatigueu - it's lost its
stiength anu can be easily bent with one fingei. While that's a facile explanation of
how Ranui, a magician, might uo that, it's not coiiect in uellei's case.

Bow uo I know.

Because the Naval Weapons Laboiatoiy (0.S. uoveinment) stuuieu the

Youi unconscious also has iemaikable abilities to influence youi woilu that it will

The bottom line is that luck is unconsciously geneiateu success anu youi
0nconscious has lots of iesouices to effectively implement what it ueciues to uo.
Anu when those aie what you want to happen, you'll piobably say, "Bow lucky."

Conceptually, becoming lucky is pietty simple. But, as in most things, the elegance
is in the uetails of implementing these concepts.

"6oJ is in tbe Jetoils."

luJwiq Hies von Jer Robe

Beie, I'll uiscuss the concepts. In subsequent Seciets, I'll get into the uetails.

To become goou-lucky, you just neeu to effectively:

AB "$&& X.7+ Q(*.(-*2.7- W#@, X.7 W@(,

Wiite out what you want, euiting until it seems peifect. When it intuitively
seems peifect, that's feeuback fiom youi 0nconscious to youi conscious
minu that you aie basically on tiack. But if you have nagging thoughts such
as, "I can't uo that" oi "I just can't have what I want," that tells you that you
have unconscious ioaublocks that will pievent you fiom getting what you
want (see E, below).

0B F+2.+2,2Z$ W#@, X.7 ".&H X.7+ Q(*.(-*2.7- ,. [.

Youi 0nconscious is piocessing millions of things simultaneously. 0nless
you let it know that what you want shoulu have a high piioiity, it will get
tosseu in the hoppei with all the iest. That uoesn't mean that youi
0nconscious won't piouuce the iesult you want but it ceitainly shaiply
ieuuces the piobability of that happening.

Lucky people constantly iecognize oppoitunities in chance encounteis.
They aie open to them anu expect them to happen. They aie ielaxeu about

although most of them have limiteu impact. Be open to anu pay attention to

[B R2'$ X.7+ Q(*.(-*2.7- A::+.:+2@,$ \(3.2(3 ^$$H?@*8

If you want to leain to become lucky, you have to uefine what you mean by
that (by picking ielevant expeiiences) anu give youi 0nconscious
appiopiiate feeuback that tells it when it has uone what you want anu
when it hasn't.

Some people get the opposite of what they wish foi because, in effect, theii
0nconscious has things "wiieu backwaius." 0theis get nothing oi only a
fiaction of what they want because theii 0nconscious "ueciues" it isn't
appiopiiate foi them to have what they want. If this is what's going on with
you, you'll have to iesolve these self-uefeating unconscious habit patteins
into self-suppoiting ones befoie you'll become goou-lucky.

If you uo all of these things effectively, you will become a lot luckiei. Keep
ieauing anu I'll tell you how to uo all of them.

(self-uefeating unconscious habit patteins) that will piobably stop you colu. 0i, if
youi 0nconscious is "wiieu backwaius," it will give you the opposite - the iesult of
anothei Blockei.

Being 0nconsciously "wiieu backwaius" was something that the ieseaicheis at
the Piinceton 0niveisity Engineeiing Anomalies Reseaich Institute (PEAR) founu
that some people iepeateuly uemonstiateu.

Some people aie "wiieu backwaius" in teims of success anu being lucky. The moie
they tiy, the less successful anu less lucky they become. This is because they have
self-uefeating unconscious habit patteins opeiating. (Noie about that in Seciet

Lucky people constantly iecognize oppoitunities in what they encountei because
they aie open to them.

The bottom line of this Seciet is that lucky people aie open to unlikely chance
occuiiences that sometimes tuin out to be lucky bieaks. In contiast, unlucky
people say to themselves something like, "That's not what I am looking foi" anu
ignoie such oppoitunities.

Lucky people expect goou things to happen to them, iecognize them when they uo
anu act on them when they appeai.

This is what psychologists call a "confiimation bias" anu eveiyone else calls "a self-
fulfilling piophecy." If you believe that you aie lucky anu act accoiuingly, theie a
much highei piobability that's what you'll get than if not.

"luck is believinq youre lucky."

Tennessee Willioms

0nlucky people uon't expect to be lucky anu that's what they get. By the way, that's
anothei Blockei in opeiation.

Richaiu Wiseman, a psychologist at the 0niveisity of Beitfoiushiie, stuuieu a
gioup of about 4uu self-iuentifieu veiy lucky anu unlucky people foi about ten
yeais, conuucting some inteiesting expeiiments.

Be founu that the lucky people consistently encounteieu anu iecognizeu
oppoitunities wheieas unlucky people uiun't. In an aiticle, "The Luck Factoi,"
Wiseman, authoi of a book by the same name, ielateu:

"l qove botb lucky onJ unlucky people o newspoper, onJ oskeJ tbem to look
tbrouqb it onJ tell me bow mony pbotoqropbs were insiJe. 0n overoqe, tbe

tbe lucky people took just seconJs.

Wby? Becouse tbe seconJ poqe of tbe newspoper contoineJ tbe messoqe "Stop

up bolf of tbe poqe onJ wos written in type tbot wos over two incbes biqb.

lt wos storinq everyone stroiqbt in tbe foce, but tbe unlucky people tenJeJ to
miss it onJ tbe lucky people tenJeJ to spot it. }ust for fun, l ploceJ o seconJ

countinq, tell tbe experimenter you bove seen tbis onJ win $2S0." Aqoin, tbe

lookinq for pbotoqropbs."

uoing back to my iequest to my 0nconscious to immeuiately finu a paiking space
uiiectly in fiont of }oan's on Thiiu Caf, the occasion was my veiy fiist in-peison
meeting with my now-wife uloiia aftei meeting anu communicating with hei
thiough eBaimony.

6lorio liveJ in tbe EollywooJ Eills oreo of los Anqeles onJ l liveJ in Sonto
Borboro ot tbe time. Tbot meont l boJ to Jrive obout 90 miles to meet ber.

At tbe time, l wos not ot oll fomilior witb los Anqeles onJ boJ no iJeo of wbot
to expect, ossuminq l even founJ }oons. So, before leovinq Sonto Borboro, l
moJe my request of my 0nconscious onJ set my 6PS. Eoppily, l orriveJ five
minutes obeoJ of tbe oqreeJ time, fully expectinq my porkinq spoce to be
tbere, owoitinq me.

As l wos swiftly Jrivinq Jown TbirJ Street, l noticeJ tbot tbere werent ony
open porkinq spots. Tben, just ofter my 6PS soiJ l wos S00 yorJs from my
Jestinotion, l sow o spoce. But it wos obout 900 feet from my Jestinotion, not
riqbt in front of it so l iqnoreJ tbe spoce onJ continueJ.

Sure enouqb, os my 6PS onnounceJ tbot lJ orrive ot my Jestinotion in 100
feet, l sow someone pullinq out of o porkinq spoce onJ, wben l qlonceJ to its
riqbt, l noticeJ tbot it wos riqbt in front of }oons. Tbots tbe spoce l took.

So ask youi 0nconscious foi what you want anu keep youi eyes open, expecting it
to give it to you.

In youi noimal life, if you'ie tiying to leain to uo something that's new to you, you
know how ciitically impoitant it is to get constiuctive feeuback fiom someone
who alieauy knows how to uo that.

The same is tiue foi youi 0nconscious.

If you want to become a lot luckiei than you alieauy aie, you have to tiain youi
0nconscious to uo something othei than what it's alieauy uoing.

"lf you olwoys Jo wbot you've olwoys Jone, you'll olwoys qet wbot you've
olwoys qot."

Eenry IorJ {oltbouqb often ottributeJ to Tony Robbins)

Since you consciously ueciue whethei you have been lucky oi not, youi job is to
cleaily show youi 0nconscious what you think is a lucky bieak.

Beie's an easy way of uoing that.

At the enu of each uay, just befoie you go to sleep, sit uown with a pen anu
a piece of papei oi at youi computei. 0n a page uiviueu veitically in two,
label the left-hanu column Successes anu the iight Failuies.

Then ieview youi uay, looking caiefully foi any goou-lucky expeiiences,
youi Successes, anu any failuies to be lucky wheie you weie expecting to
finu Successes, youi Failuies. Recoiu all of each type in the appiopiiate
column anu uate the uocument.

Staiting with the fiist Success, iemembei that expeiience. In youi
imagination, using youi skill of Binusight, make it even bettei. When it is
tiuly gieat, imagine placing it in youi Beait Chakia (the centei of youi
chest) anu silently say into youi Beait Chakia, "That's what I consiuei a
lucky bieak. Please give me moie lucky bieaks." Then take a ueep bieath
anu exhale shaiply.

Bo this with each of the othei Successes on youi list.

Next, staiting with the fiist Failuie, using youi skill of Binusight, change
that iemembeieu Failuie into an Imaginaiy Expeiience of being lucky.
When it is tiuly gieat, imagine placing it in youi Beait Chakia (the centei of
youi chest) anu silently say into youi Beait Chakia, "That's what I consiuei
a lucky bieak. Please give me lots of lucky bieaks." Then take a ueep bieath
anu exhale shaiply.

Repeat this foi each of the Failuies on youi list. In the piocess, you'll, in
effect, be telling youi 0nconscious to "tuin lemons into lemonaue."

You'll soon become able to uo this quite quickly anu will note that you get moie
lucky bieaks, if you keep youi eyes open.

0ui unconscious minus iun oui lives. They ensuie oui bloou is pumpeu anu
ueteimine what we uo anu uon't see, what we uo oi uon't uo anu how lucky we
aie.

They uo this thiough a seiies of complex unconscious habit-patteins such as you
uevelopeu as an infant that enableu you to easily stanu up anu walk oi to easily
anu pietty automatically uiive a cai.

Sometimes, howevei, unconscious habit-patteins that weie once successful
become unsuccessful as we change anu the contexts of oui lives change. If that's
the case, they tuin fiom success-piouucing to self-uefeating.

If that's the case, you'll typically become awaie of them when something you want
uoesn't happen oi when you seem unable to uo something - such as being lucky in
a paiticulai situation.

I call these self-uefeating unconscious habit-patteins Blockeis because they aie
ioaublocks that pievent you fiom being oi having what you want.

If you have Blockeis that pievent you fiom becoming luckiei, even when you uo
what I've pieviously uesciibeu, you neeu to ie-tiain youi unconscious in ways that
tiansfoim those self-uefeating unconscious habit-patteins into self-suppoiting
