One of the simplest, and most challenging, ways to enlist luck on your side is to try again. 

I’m not saying to repeat yourself in exactly the same way, or to be nagging and annoying. I’m saying to give it another shot.

Do another art show. Write another blog post. Send another email.

In Twelve and a Half, Gary Vaynerchuk describes this quality as tenacity. He provokes the reader to email him if they explore NFTs and fail; his caveat is:

“DO NOT E-MAIL ME UNTIL YOUR 49TH PROJECT HAS FAILED. Don’t even consider it. Otherwise, you’ve completely missed the point of tenacity. You want to be a working artist and you gave up after one time? Let me get this straight: You want to spend your whole life drawing, painting, coloring, or doodling, and you gave up because nobody paid attention to your very first project? Get out of here.”
