If you're not being bold and asking people to have a conversation with you about how you can help them with your Thing, then there may be a big clue there to your fortune (or lack of it!). This last point is pretty simple, but highly effective!

Are you speaking (and yes, I mean on a stage or at events)?.Are you being boldly social on social media?.Are you making helpful videos that show off your Thing and sharing them online? YouTube is a giant shopfront.Are you blogging or sharing your ideas (it can be as a guest on someone else's blog or in articles you submit to sites too)?.If your bank balance, right now, isn't making you smile and you'd like to add to your 'fortune', here's where you might not being bold enough: So when you next want to do your Thing and help more people with it, remember that fortune favours the bold. A similar phrase (Audentis Fortuna iuuat) is shouted by Turnus in Virgil's Aeneid, 10.284, as he begins the charge against Aeneas' Trojans. Its earliest recorded use is by the second century BC playwright Terence, Phormio, 203 (Fortis Fortuna adiuvat) and by Ennius, Ann. The phrase means that Fortuna, the Goddess of luck, is more likely to help those who take risks or action.

(with a nod of thanks to Wikipedia!)Īudentes Fortuna iuuat or Audaces Fortuna iuuat. If you want to take this quote in a literal sense-to me, it says that you'll get paid if you ask for the sale.Īnd here you were thinking it was about riding into battle on your trusty steed :)
