Luck Surface Area
The author introduces the concept of "Luck Surface Area" — by increasing how often you share what you're working on, you increase the chances that opportunities find you. Effort and sharing combine to create more luck, as visibility leads to unexpected doors opening.
Background
- **"Luck Surface Area"** is a concept popularized by startup investor Jason Roberts. It says that the more you do (action) and the more people you tell about it (visibility), the more "luck" — i.e., serendipitous opportunities — you attract. Mathematically, it's often framed as Luck = Doing × Telling (or luck surface area = (what you do) × (who you tell)).
