In retrospect, the human value-add of VCs is mostly in the initial pick. But they way VCs *get* those early wins is by promising to add value during the entrepreneurship struggle -- even though the obvious wins won't need it.




Ways to get lucky: • Hope luck finds you. • Hustle until you stumble into it. • Prepare the mind and be sensitive to chances others miss. • Become the best at what you do. Refine what you do until this is true. Opportunity will seek you out. Luck becomes your destiny.
