Of course, there are two parts to it, though: 1) luck and 2) activity. Activity is all the research, preparedness, etc. I've elaborated in my blog, thanks for the topic! http://vanflicke.blogspot.com/ Eric,

I think you have an interesting take on luck. We share the generation of luck thoughts although you take a different spin but I like the "trick yoourself" piece. I hadn't thought about that. Entrepreneurs do need to believe in their ideas fully and sometimes that may mean tricking themselves. I would caution against "drinking the kool-aid" though. If the market is giving you strong signals one way or another you should listen. I haven't read Fooled By Randomness yet. I'll have to get on that as it seems right up my alley!
