If business success is, as I believe, equal parts great idea, hard work, and luck, what hope is there if I can\u2019t control luck? I\u2019m glad you asked.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s true, there is no guarantee that your business will be a success. There are, however, some things you can do to increase your chances that luck will find you in the right place at the right time.<\/p>\n
When we started the WP Ninjas back in 2011, no one knew who we were (some of you still may not). We were launching into a saturated market, had zero experience in a product business, and had been very unlucky for the previous six years. After a year and half of careful planning and intentional changes, we are a very different company and have found what many would call financial success. We got lucky. But only because we made it easy for luck to find us.<\/p>\n
In this talk, we take a look at tools and tips that will help you position your project for greatness. If you think you have a great idea, and are willing to work hard, then perhaps I can provide the missing link between lucky and unlucky.<\/p>\n
