For some people, success seems fated or shrouded in mystery. But in
Earning Serendipity, Glenn Llopis shows that most positive changes in fortune--in careers or in corporate ventures--are no mystery at all.
We all have control over the path to prosperity. Progression along that path is the result of a rare combination of skills that readers can develop and apply in their careers, businesses, and lives. These four skills are
- Seeing with circular vision: Broaden your observation beyond what you seek and beyond the obvious details before you.
- Sowing entrepreneurial seeds: When good vision is met with consistent, hand-dirtying execution every day the result is a stable, growing fortune.
- Growing seeds with the greatest potential: Learn how to recognize the most promising opportunities and give them the right amount of attention.
- Sharing the harvest: Focus on meeting others' needs to improve personal good fortune.
Those who master this quartet tap into a power most never reach: the power to create and sustain a momentum of good fortune. This ability to earn serendipity can elevate a career or company quicker than any single force. And with the skills outlined in this book, readers will be catapulted onto the path of prosperity.
