This week on PivotMe, April dives into a critical but often overlooked aspect of success: positioning. Success isn’t just about crossing the finish line—it’s about putting yourself in the right environment, building habits, and stacking the deck in your favor. With humor, personal anecdotes, and actionable tips, April explores how small, intentional choices prepare you for big opportunities. Key Takeaways: Preparation Meets Opportunity: Luck isn’t random; it’s what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Are you setting yourself up for those moments? Positioning matters in every area of life—business, health, relationships. Micro-Decisions Shape Success: Success isn’t a single event but the result of daily habits and choices. Identify small actions—“lead indicators”—that align you with your goals. Stacking the Deck: Put yourself in rooms where opportunities exist. For example, joining groups, attending events, or even having a coffee with someone in your desired field. Avoid blaming bad luck when you haven’t positioned yourself for good luck. Positioning is Proactive: Whether it’s building a better relationship, health goals, or career advancement, it’s about the effort you make before the opportunity arises. Example: A client who wanted to meet a partner but never left the house wasn’t positioning for success, unlike someone who actively joined social activities. Your Role in Luck: Stop overestimating others’ “luck” while underestimating your potential. As Seneca said, "Luck Is What Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity." Quotes: "Preparation meets opportunity. Are you preparing for success, or just waiting for luck to show up at your doorstep?" "Position yourself for success—the overnight kind. Those usually take about 10 years." How are you positioning yourself for success? Success isn’t just about goals; it’s about the systems, habits, and environments you create. Don’t wait for opportunity to knock—position yourself to hear it when it does.   Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders? 🚀 Join the waitlist for Collaborate in Grass Valley 2025! 🌟 By joining the waitlist, you’ll get first access to event details, early-bird pricing, and exclusive offers.
