I deeply believe that luck, like randomness, doesn’t exist. It’s only a convergence of things that specifically produce the situation, and you could always, at least 1%, influence the outcome, whether as a product leader or just a product designer.
The way i see it is that what we often call “luck” usually comes from choices, patterns, or actions we’ve taken earlier.
That small bit of influence we have keeps adding up. Over time, it changes everything.
The tough part is, many UXers or product designers don’t realize they *can* shape their path. So they wait… instead of taking small steps that build momentum. And that’s exactly why I made this framework, to help people see what’s in their control.
As always a well authored piece and framework Marina. The advice and suggestions truly resonated.
The randomness part for me is being in the right place at the right time helps immensely as a launch pad followed by doing what it takes for visibility and taking leaps to resolve real problems.
