Find Good Luck at Last: 1000 Freelance Secrets (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,

Growing up with a gambling-addicted father, Lori became fascinated with the subject of luck. She recently came across a study that revealed how lucky people operate – and the fact that unlucky people can become luckier. Using the study as the foundation of her class, Lori weaves in business skills and her freelance experience to show how a few practical changes can improve a freelancer's luck.

You'll learn:

how anxiety gets in the way
how intuition can be sharpened
how a shift in perspective brings good fortune.

Whether you're experiencing a run of bad luck or if you want to be even luckier, this class offers some practical tips for change.

Project Description
The first step in changing your luck is recognizing the good luck you already have. So what makes you lucky? Your mom? Your best friend? Your car? Simply share your good fortune, whatever (or whoever!) that may be.
