Luck is about being prepared.

Luck is about being prepared.

Unexpected events that affect our careers will happen to the vast majority of us sooner or later. 

As Seneca implied when he said "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity," one of the most important elements of luck is being prepared when opportunity presents itself. 

Even if your career is going along just fine it is as well to be prepared for the unexpected event that will surely happen. It is far better to plan your flood defences while the sun is shining rather than waiting until you are up to your knees in flood water. 

The same principle applies to your career: the time to "Future Proof Your Career" is when everything is running smoothly - hunky-dory and tickety-boo!
