In her latest book, Lucky By Design, Beth Goldstein exposes the fallacies and dangers of underestimating your own ability to create powerful business opportunities. Working with thousands of entrepreneurs over a span of more than 25 years, Goldstein reveals solid evidence that it’s simply not enough to work hard, but you have to work smart and perform key business tactics to attract, recognize and seize lucky growth opportunities. Highlights of her survey of business owners showed that individuals who considered themselves to be lucky and whose businesses were impacted by luck were significantly (2 – 3 times) more heavily engaged in very specific business growth activities (i.e., market research, sales expansion) than people who thought luck had no impact on their business.

Goldstein uses this evidence to details what it takes to get lucky in business and shows you simple, yet effective steps to navigate your path to success and design your own luck. Lucky By Design will give you the insight and knowledge required to create a roadmap that empowers your business.
