80% of success is simply turning up

I quote Woody Allen here. 80% of success is simply turning up. I have to agree with the sentiment here.

OK, I am not saying that by turning up lady luck will smile on you 80% of the time. It takes a bit of skill to notice when the breaks are there and when to take them.

Sounds obvious? Let me put it this way. If you pack your running gear when you head to work in the morning, you are about 40% of the way there. If you put your running gear on after work and head downstairs to go for a run, you are another 40% there. There's your 80%. Your dressed and ready to run, you will hardly go down the pub - viola! Success.

So, what has this got to do with the price of eggs*? Well, Digital Lounge is about being there. Our mission statement is to take digital media to the next level and to ensure our members are at the cutting edge of things.

It is about being there and taking the breaks when you come across them. So here's my take of Woody's words of wisdom.

80% of success is turning up with your business card.

Speak soon!

* the price of eggs for me is the cost of keeping 6 chickens, but that is another conversation and another blog.
