Detailed Episode Summary
Luck, Volume, and Planning for Success
Jon and Kyle discussed the role of luck in business success and how to increase opportunities for success through volume. They believed that luck is not negated by volume but instead increases with each opportunity, much like rolling a dice repeatedly. They also stressed the importance of preparation, hard work, and planning in defining luck and achieving success. They encouraged individuals to take control of their wealth building journey by creating their own volume and investing time in clear planning. Lastly, Kyle mentioned the release of the fourth weekly episode of ‘Secret Sauce’ and asked for feedback on the initiative.

Kyle: Alright, welcome back to another Secret Sauce episode here. We’re putting these out on Fridays, but let’s get right to it.
Jon: That’s the point of these Secret Sauce episodes – short chunks for you to nibble on and noodle on. Recently, I heard Alex Hormo say something intriguing: “Volume negates luck.” He means putting in the reps will outweigh luck. Business success isn’t about luck if you consistently make sales and have meetings. The hard work negates whether you’re lucky or not.
Kyle: Absolutely. I love this idea of volume. We agree entirely, but we want to add a small nuance. Think about your wealth journey in terms of volume. What’s actually happening here? If luck is seen as something random, volume isn’t negating luck; it’s giving you more chances. You’re forcing more rolls of the dice.
Jon: Exactly. By doing repetitive actions, you’re inevitably going to get lucky. Luck, in common sense, is about probability. By increasing your repetitions, you increase your chances of getting that “lucky” opportunity. It’s not about negating luck but forcing it to happen sooner through volume.
Kyle: Right, you’re not just waiting for luck to come to you. You’re creating it by increasing your efforts. If you’re flipping a coin and want five heads, getting five heads in five flips is lucky. But if you flip it 50 times, your chances of getting heads increase. The probability doesn’t change, but your volume of efforts does, leading to more successes.
Jon: Exactly. This applies to our wealth-building journey. Preparation meets opportunity, or as some say, hard work meets opportunity. Volume will eventually create that opportunity. Wealthy people have used volume and hard work, leading to opportunities presenting themselves.
Kyle: Whether it’s in your T4 job, business, or investments, you can do this for yourself. Today, we’ll focus on wealth building. The volume of money you’re committing is crucial. If you’re only committing a small portion, you’re relying on luck. But if you focus on volume, you’re creating opportunities.
Jon: Think about committing a significant portion of your income. Volume of capital towards your wealth-building journey will meet opportunities, making you appear as though you’re one of the lucky ones. But it’s not luck; it’s the volume of efforts that leads to success.
Kyle: So, what’s your takeaway? How much volume are you going to create in your wealth-building journey? Are you dedicating dollars into a particular investment or creating deals in real estate? Are you generating more leads in your business? Create volume for yourself.
Jon: And remember, volume also means time, effort, and intentionality. Take the time to plan and think. Time is a scarce resource. Make sure you’re committing enough time to have a clear plan. Don’t lift your head up years down the road and realize you’re behind because you didn’t spend enough time planning.
