This definition of luck, changed my working style | #140

I got my first internship through it

Sep 20, 2024

I work at Hive School, which is India’s First Sales School. I also create content on my YouTube where I share my processes and learnings.

Every Friday, in this newsletter, I share my process, thoughts, stories, ideas, and weekly recommendations.

A few days ago, I did a podcast with Harsh. We spoke about luck surface area, types of luck, building in public, etc. He told me a definition of luck and I realized it has helped me a lot in the past. He said:

Being on the right time + on the right place + with the right people + knowing some skills

In January 2023, I did a podcast with Dr. Sid Warrier. As a young creator, it was a great opportunity.

In the same month, Thousand Faces Club tweeted an opportunity to hire a Community Outreach Intern. The internship would involve contacting creators and inviting them to podcasts and masterclasses.

I am a big believer in learning from working in startups and projects. You get to learn a lot from working. I applied for the role and in the interview, I told him that I had written a cold email to Dr. Sid Warrier and done a podcast with him, he liked how I wrote it. I also showed my other proof of work, told him I had a passion for working in the creator economy, and had my YouTube and newsletter going on.

Then, I was hired and I started working there. It was a great learning there.

Since I was at the right time after the podcast, seeing the right opportunity, and knowing the skills, I was hired. Since I had a lot of creator friends, it also gave me leverage.

Be aware of what you like to explore, start creating projects, and make many friends on Twitter/LinkedIn. Also, start creating proof of work. It helps a lot. Check out Fueler. It lets you create Proof of Work. It’s a great platform. It has helped me a lot.

Made a video on how one mindset of ‘Saying yes now, figuring out later’ helped me learn a lot of things at Hive School.
