CREATING YOUR own success isn’t as much of a myth as it seems, as a new study reveals the top tricks and charms Brits are turning to when trying to get ahead in life.
A new survey of 2,005 UK adults, conducted by medium and psychic online experience platform, mediumchat.co.uk, has revealed that an astonishing 78% of Brits believe they make their own luck in life.
According to the data, more than 2 in 3 (68%) of respondents believe there is a correlation between physical appearances and success, meanwhile 42% of those adults in full time employment admit to spending an average of £318 a month on appearance enhancing treatments, such as manicures, facials and blow outs, to help them on their way to success.
The research also revealed that a majority of men (72%) believe that wearing a suit can contribute to success with 55% believing that those who wear suits to work typically earn a higher salary.
However, almost 1 in 3 women (32%) agree that they perceive those who look more glamourous to be more successful. Of those who agreed with this statement, 74% feel that having their hair done contributes to success with 67% believing that having their nails freshly done has an impact on their chances of being successful.
The study also found that more than 1 in 4 Brits (27%) use or keep a good luck charm with them for important occasions, such as business meetings, interviews or exams.
The top items women confess to keeping on their person for such events include lucky pens (42%), lucky jewellery (34%) and lucky hairbands (27%). Men on the other hand admitted to wearing a lucky tie (36%) or lucky pants (12%) to help them out for important events.
Ahead of particularly important events, 15% claim that they have consulted a medium or mystic for advice or answers and as many as 48% have consulted a medium at some point to discover how successful they may be in later life.
Diana Davies of mediumchat.co.uk, comments: “Everyone wants to be successful and it’s interesting to see how we strive to obtain success. Maintaining our superstitions and rituals, as well as holding onto lucky items or looking for greater guidance elsewhere, allows people to feel in control of their success.
“Finding comfort in the unknown, as well as within ourselves through our appearances, is one of the best ways to be successful – when you’re happy and comfortable, you gain confidence and so often with that comes success.”
