Louis Pasteur, the famous French scientist, said, “Fortune favors the prepared mind.” In order to prepare yourself to welcome success, you need to replicate the mindset of high achievers and create your own luck.

Over the years, I have found that top performers – whether they were entrepreneurs, company executives, superstars of the academic world, or emerging leaders in business and public service – share four common qualities that draw opportunity toward them. Although these traits are often dismissed as being soft, they are the common denominator in those individuals who appear to be lucky, but who in fact attract success like a magnet. In sum, they take calculated risks; they create a positive environment for themselves and everyone around them; they work hard at making things simple; and they follow the 80/20 rule.

Starting Monday we will look at each of these traits.
