My buddy and were talking about that "luck" aspect. I've worked hard to get where I am, I am also very good with people and sales so doors tend to open for me. But I CANT contribute everything to that I've been lucky along the way and I would be arrogant to think I am not.My story is similar. I work for a company with unheard of benefits and excellent pay. A culture from the top down of "employee first". I thought about starting my own business about 10 years ago but didn't. I know this isn't the norm and for a lot of people the thought of working for someone turns their stomach. I've known a couple guys that worked for themselves for a long time and when their success came to end and were faced with going back to work for someone were paralyzed to the point of near financial ruin. Simply because they couldn't bring themselves to work for the man.
There are so many factors in career and life. One thing that is out of peoples control is the element of luck. haha... Hard work is also a key element but if you talk to any successful person there is an element of luck to their story, self employed or W2.
