What is something you know you want, but still haven’t made a committed decision to go for?
Maybe you’re waiting until you have more time, more money or fewer responsibilities. Maybe you’re telling yourself you’ll do it when the business is in a better position, when something else is completed first or when you finally feel ready.
I understand that because I did exactly the same thing with something I had wanted since I was a little girl – learning to fly.
In this episode of Make Your Own Luck, I share the story of how I spent years wanting to get my pilot’s licence while building my businesses, paying debt and managing all the responsibilities that came with an already full life.
When you make a committed decision, you begin thinking in harmony with it.
You notice people, ideas, opportunities and resources you may not have seen before, your subconscious mind goes to work and you begin behaving in ways you simply weren’t before you made the decision.
You don’t need to know exactly how before you begin. You need to know what you want, make up your mind and take the next step.

Episode 3: The True Purpose of a Goal is Growth.
What if the real purpose of a goal wasn’t to get something… but to become someone?
Have you ever achieved a goal only to realise that what you gained along the way was far more valuable than the thing you actually achieved?
A goal isn’t designed for you to just get something. It’s designed to grow you – to help you become more than you’ve ever been before.
One of the ideas that radically changed the basis of my thinking came from my late mentor, Bob Proctor.
When I first started working with Bob back in 2015, he had me thinking very differently about goals.
He introduced me to the idea of what he called a C-Type Goal.
A dream.
A fantasy.
Something you really want but you’ve never done before and something you don’t know how to achieve.
And for me, at the time, that was a radical idea.
Up until then I had built businesses, set targets and planned my life in a very logical, rational way.
I would look at what I’d done before and then ask:
How do I do a little bit better? How do I improve by 10 or 20%? How do I make the next year slightly better than the last?
There’s nothing wrong with that but I wasn’t going for a quantum leap. My goals weren’t drawing out a whole new level of who I was capable of becoming.
A C-Type Goal asks you to do something very different. It asks you to think beyond your present results, beyond what you already know how to do, beyond what you currently believe is realistic.
It asks: What do you really want?
It was about growth. And that’s the purpose of a goal.

Episode 2: What Do You Really Want?
This episode is not about goals. It’s about permission.
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to answer the question, “What do you do?” and yet how difficult it can be to answer the question: “What do you really want?”
We can usually explain what we do quite easily. We can talk about the business we lead, the role we hold, the people who rely on us, the projects we’re working on and everything we’re responsible for.
However, when someone asks us what we really want – not what needs to be done next, not what the business needs, not what our family needs, but what we really want, it can take a little longer to answer.
So before we rush to find an answer to that question, I want to talk to you about permission.
This episode is really about permission.
Permission to dream again.
Permission to want more, no matter what your existing life looks like.
Permission to redefine who you are and what comes next.
Permission to think in new dimensions.
And permission to stop for long enough to design your next chapter on purpose, rather than just continue to live by default. While there’s nothing wrong with that – there’s usually no growth attached to it.
As good as life may already be for you, it is not as good as it can get.

Episode 1: What Does It Really Mean to Make Your Own Luck?
Have you ever looked at someone and thought…“They’re so lucky.”
Maybe it was someone who built an incredible business or seemed to be in the right place at the right time or met the right person?
Maybe you’ve even looked at your own life and quietly wondered… “Why does that seem to happen for them… but not for me?”
It’s an interesting question.
I don’t believe luck works the way most people think it does.
For years people have said exactly that to me – “Karen, you’re so lucky” but what I know is that what people call luck is often simply the visible outcome of hundreds of invisible decisions all lining up to support new outcomes.
Decisions to keep learning.
Decisions to keep showing up.
Decisions to trust yourself.
Decisions to stay open.
Decisions to keep moving when there’s no guarantee.
One thing I’ve noticed after working with leaders, business owners and entrepreneurs for many years is this…
The people who create extraordinary lives, and I mean extraordinary lives by their own standards and design, don’t necessarily have fewer problems.
They’re not always smarter.
They’re not always more talented.
And they’re certainly not fearless.
They’re simply willing to make decisions that other people postpone.
They’re willing to begin before everything feels perfect.
They’re willing to invest in themselves.
They make their own luck.
So over to you with two questions:
1. What’s one decision you’ve been postponing because you’re waiting to feel ready?
2. What’s one small action you can take this week that moves you towards the life you really want?
I hope you enjoy our first episode.

Listen On:
Welcome to Make Your Own Luck with Karen Brook.

Each episode is a short story from Karen's own life, exploring the timeless principles behind creating success. Through lessons on identity, paradigms, leadership, decision-making, self-image, productivity, universal laws and human performance, you'll discover that what most people call luck is often the result of hundreds, if not thousands, of invisible decisions, thoughts and actions that create a person's results.
Whether the story comes from flying an aeroplane, years spent working alongside Bob Proctor and his sone Brian Proctor, building businesses, mentoring leaders or navigating everyday life, each episode opens with a question and finishes with one reflection or action you can apply immediately.
We encourage you not to simply listen.
But listen to understand.
Study each episode with repetition and allow the ideas to become part of the way you think, lead and live.
Because success is never an accident, you make your own luck!
