Fred's Notes

August 23: Precept One

8/23/2021

In the book, I include ten "precepts" on how you can make your own luck by recognizing and seizing opportunities. Each week for the next ten weeks, I'm going to share the outline of one of these precepts with you.

In this week's two-and-a-half-minute video, I touch on Precept One: Opportunities often come at inconvenient times. Don’t let that prevent you from seizing them. Find a way.

Take care,

--Fred

I love the example you telling.

Looking back, a similar instance happened for me. In 2002 when the current IU Athletic Director (Michael McNeely) and his staff were let go, Terry Clapacs stepped in as interim Athletic Director and with the front office cleared out Terry needed help and asked the Varsity Club to allow me to work in the AD Office. I was quite nervous about taking this on because it came with criticism and major challenges. However, in the long run it turned out to be a great decision and opportunity that flourished for me.

I LOVED your shoutout to Barbara. Behind every good man is a dynamite woman. Glad you were man enough to share that! Wishing you much success!
