Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
To make your own luck and thereby have better control of your destiny, focus on increasing your predictive intelligence
– your ability to act in the face of uncertainty to create the future you desire. Predictive intelligence grows when the four-step process is followed:
Orienting and organizing are important because until you’ve figured out where you want to go and why, it’s just not possible for you to get lucky. Until you organize and orient yourself, you won’t be able to recognize a lucky break when you see one or make adjustments to your plans to take advantage of things that come up unexpectedly. At the same time, you won’t ever get lucky unless you move forward and act. You need to generate alternatives, figure out which have the best probability of success and then actually place your bet to move forward. You can’t create a noteworthy batting average if you fail to do the right thing, regardless of how much you know.
Predictive intelligence is not something you’re either born with or you’re not. Rather, predictive intelligence is generated by a set of twelve orient-organize-plan-act! skills which can be improved and enhanced, just like any other business skills.
"All our work is based on the premise that every purposive action is a bet; one acts now on
