So, it&#8217;s important to understand the interplay of hard work and luck in business. In reality, we all have vastly different levels of privilege, luck, and opportunity that influence what we can realistically achieve. For example, if your competitor inherited a fortune from their parents, and you\u2019re self-funding your startup, you can\u2019t reasonably expect your success to equal theirs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Research strongly supports the authors\u2019 assertion that people\u2019s different life circumstances shape their odds of becoming successful entrepreneurs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2021\/jan\/31\/small-business-entrepreneurs-success-parents\">People whose parents have high incomes are more likely to become entrepreneurs<\/a>, and family money is one of the primary sources of funding for startups. When entrepreneurs have strong financial support from their families, they don\u2019t have to do the hard work of securing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/startup-assets\/\">startup funds<\/a> to survive the critical early months of development, and they have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/financial-safety-net\/\">financial safety net<\/a> in case things don\u2019t work out. Although this financial support doesn\u2019t necessarily translate into success, it gives entrepreneurs a significant advantage.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you believe that luck is the <em>only<\/em> determining factor in success, you may become resigned, thinking that nothing you do ultimately matters, so why bother trying? To avoid this pitfall, Ali and Kubba say, you should aggressively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/pursue-your-goals\/\">pursue your goals<\/a> with the resources you currently have to increase your chances of success\u2014while knowing that some factors are out of your control. <strong>This determined yet realistic mindset will help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-keep-yourself-motivated\/\">stay motivated<\/a> to keep pursuing your dream, even when you encounter setbacks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/believing-in-luck\/\">believing in luck<\/a> demotivating, as Ali and Kubba contend? Research indicates yes, revealing that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-10647539\/Count-blessings-forget-Lady-Luck-want-happy-research.html\">people who believe in luck as a random, external phenomenon that determines outcomes are more pessimistic and anxious<\/a>. In contrast, <a href=\"https:\/\/careercatalyst.asu.edu\/newsroom\/career\/how-you-can-benefit-entrepreneurial-mindset\/\">people who believe in their ability to shape outcomes tend to view challenges as opportunities<\/a>. They\u2019re also more likely to take initiative, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-adapt-to-change\/\">adapt to change<\/a>, and find creative solutions, thereby increasing their chances of success. Thus, the determined yet realistic mindset Ali and Kubba promote will likely improve your odds of becoming a successful entrepreneur.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to business success, do you need both hard work and luck?
