If you're relying on luck, you're headed in the wrong direction. I was very late in the game, at least 2 years past the big market boom in my area of expertise, but I saw that the momentum was there to keep carrying on. I was working during those two years to be ready to fully launch, and I'm now making a modest but comfortable $200k/yr in a place with moderate cost of living.

If this hadn't come along, I had several backup plans I could turn into a viable business. You have to learn to see the money and take the money, but that's a learnable skillset.

I also had an uncle that just had a nose for what the next big thing was going to be. He made more money than I do, but he knew what the next big thing was going to be because he learned everything he could about small reaches from his current operation and talked to everyone.
