Why do you think so many people come back from conferences with stories of how they landed a great partner they never thought they'd even get to answer an email?

Conferences and seminars are epitome of "creating luck." The least important thing about them is formal ceremonies. The good stuff happens at bar in hotel after presentations are over. The "good stuff" is being in right place at right time.

You are definitely creating luck whenever you network with peers and possible partners.

If you let yourself get lost in day-to-day operations of your business and you don't allow yourself time to think about ways in which you can get your "self" in front of people who can break you into a whole new league of success for your business, you will be less "lucky" in business.

There are lots of real rags-to-riches stories on net. People are succeeding and profiting online like never before, but few do it in a vacuum. You will find more often than not that a story of success will begin with a line like "My business REALLY took off when I met..." or "I was talking on phone one day with...and all sudden an idea was born."

Want to create some luck for yourself? Get involved in your business at a level in which you are always in right place at right time. Being active in online forums, calling people on phone rather than using email, meeting people in person who can help you get your products in front of thousands of potential customers, all these practices are used by ever-lucky, most successful people on planet.

Put yourself into your business as part of product. Develop relationships. Run far far away from people who want to sell you on concept that you can succeed online without having to talk with or meet others. Success has never knocked on door of people who aren't open to human contact - that's a ridiculous and self-defeating practice.

If you are passionate about making money with an online or offline business, good old fashioned networking will always win out over any other method of advertising.

So, now you have formula for "creating luck." If you can sit down this weekend and figure out all ways you can put yourself in right place at right time to increase your business - including a powerful linking campaign for your website - you are going to start to see that there is a pattern indeed to creating luck and making things happen for your business.

Has something been bothering you about your sales letter? Take this time to fix it up or have someone take a look and make recommendations.

Have you been eager to set up a couple different bonuses and re-order and test different sales letters? What a pain! But now you have time to get your split-test set up for when buyers come marching back to your site and tire-kickers go back to wherever they usually surf.

How about $12,000 worth of marketing materials you own that are taking up gigs on your hard drive? Might be a good time to get away from monitor, print some of best stuff out, and study with a real highlighter and paper for a change.

You have NO IDEA how much you missed in last ebook you bought! If you are like most people - you skimmed for best stuff and missed a whole heap of things you might just be able to put into action in time for pendulum of sales to swing back your way.

The point is, when you get into a slump you need to take time to take stock of your assets that you can pull out and turn slump into an advantage.

I bet if you get out of your daily routine tomorrow and start looking around your hard drive at all unfinished business, ebooks, reports, articles (How many articles can you write before war is over? Make it a challenge!). You will find yourself happily getting caught up and ready for wave of sales that will happen when current turmoil is over.

Start fresh with a good spring cleaning of your business. You will hit ground running when action picks up again. You will feel SO refreshed, and ready for action as a lean, mean, selling machine!
