Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez Took Elon Musk’s Advise To Deal With Being Called ‘Lucky’- “The Harder I Work, The Luckier I Get”

The world works in strange ways. Some crack the secret to success early, while some spend a fair bit of time before they can really figure it out. Some of us dismiss this, calling the other half “lucky” and dismissing their success for timing and the planets aligning. But when Alex Rodriguez stepped onto a podcast to speak about his version of luck, perhaps it may hold some water too.

Rodriguez is one of the most well-recognized faces across the world and the former Yankees player is immensely successful too. So what’s his secret?

Alex Rodriguez built a sizable reputation while playing in Major League Baseball. Turning out for the Seattle Mariners, the Texas Rangers, and eventually the New York Yankees, A-Rod has had a sizable career. But he seems to have reinvented himself in his second coming as a businessman. The former World Series champion now is a big part of his own A-Rod Corporation that handles several ventures. And while successful, A-Rod maintains that there is no secret formula to his luck.

Alex Rodriguez reveals secret to his luck

Quoting and speaking about business tycoon Elon Musk, A-Rod borrowed his iteration of luck to explain. Said A-Rod, “The harder I work, the more prepare, the luckier I get.”

Speaking about virtue as a more wholistic function than just a one-off event, Rodriguez went on to explain how he understood it. Rodriguez said, “luck includes a lot of things and includes self awareness. It includes humility, and incredible attitude, energy and effort and discipline.”

Adding that the true success to come out of any such opportunity is a combination of all the factors that operate to help you. Not simply a singular event that happened to go your way. “And when you kind of put all these variables and you put them inside a box, you end up getting lucky,” said Rodriguez.

Perhaps going into a bit more detail, A-Rod explained how luck wasn’t just some one-off event that went your way. And neither should you expect it to be. Said A-Rod, “Lucky is not just ‘Hey, I’m going to just going to wake up at five o’clock in the afternoon every day and hope that I get lucky.’ “ Speaking about how it was a more gradual process; where you involve more people to gain their opinions and make a decision on the basis of collective opinion.
