Do things and talk about them

Codus Operandi aka The Luck Surface Area is a must read on the idea of increasing your luck.

From the article:

… I’ve gone one step further and formalized the concept into the equation L = D * T, where L is luck, D is doing and T is telling. This demonstrates clearly that the more you do and the more people you tell about it, the larger your Luck Surface Area will become. And while I like equations, it’s the graphical representation that really brings the concept home.

This is how simple it can be. Talking about what you’re doing will increase the chances that someone will remember you and ask you for your help or work. Talking alone is not enough. You also need to do and show something. Doing alone is also not enough. You need to talk to people and let them know what you’re working on.
