About

This framework is a powerful tool for anyone looking to increase their chances of experiencing fortunate circumstances and achieving their goals. Developed by thought leaders such as Naval Ravikant and Dr. James H. Austin, this framework outlines four distinct types of luck that can occur in life:

  1. Blind luck (out of your control, fate)
  2. Luck through action (the more you hustle, the better chance you have of getting lucky)
  3. Luck through preparation (being very skilled in a field, you will notice when a lucky break happens)
  4. Luck through character (strong reputation makes other people bring their luck to you)

Each type of luck has its own unique qualities and can be influenced by different actions and mindsets. Increase your chances of being lucky by reflecting on the four kinds of luck.
