Good luck? What is it anyway and how do you know if you have it?

Good luck is the secret art and sauce of common sense, as Joey Yap often says. 

The irony is that common sense, like the ‘rare earths’ used in all our gadgets and EVs, is naturally found in abundance but hard to come by.

Those who have common sense and apply it will have good luck in the coming years of the Crimson Horse and Blood Goat.

“Great years don’t happen by accident. They happen by design. A major lesson from [crises] is the cost of inaction – the silent slayer most people ignore,” said Yap to the 3,000-strong Sunday morning audience at Mitec convention centre in Kuala Lumpur.

To be exact, 2,968 people from all around the world, some of whom had flown 24 hours to be here. These guys would have been at an advanced stage of their plans. They’re making treks.

To nudge newbies and fence-sitters, he added: “If you’re aiming for a major financial leap next year, the biggest loss is not from trying – it’s from not trying. Every year you hesitate, the opportunity cost multiplies.” 

Here’s a quick summary of good luck information:

• The transition of the new 20-year Period 9 cycle enters an accelerated and even ballistic phase in the Year of the Crimson Horse.
• The sheer intensity of the energies will shift goalposts and create rare chances for small businesses to score against seemingly unassailable market leaders.
• Now’s the time to strategise to establish new champions, as well as new fields.
• Entrepreneurs should assess the preparedness of their enterprise and the current stage of their business plans in light of the volatility and opportunities ahead
• In corporate and public life, Period 9’s elementary energies support women in leadership roles
• For career professionals, taking on visible roles and important projects may bring advancement
• For side-hustlers and retail punters, overheated AI stocks might be due a market correction, but AI itself will catalyse content creation and building a community marketplace

Ultimately, any strategy and its implementation requires the intent, courage and resilience to see it through, says Yap.
