Regardless of how you want to avoid the phrase “hard work”, since you think its clichéd, what separates the men from the boys and the girls from the women is pretty simple.
Unsuccessful people make plans.
Successful people make reservations.
Successful people know when to “fold ’em” and then they understand when it’s time to walk away.
Unsuccessful people keep banging their heads against the wall, doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different outcome.
Successful people don’t live in fear. They may be afraid, but that doesn’t mean they let that fear paralyze them. They move ahead anyway.
Unsuccessful people let fear rule their lives. They’d rather remain mired in it than do something about it.
Successful people see something they want and they grab it.
Unsuccessful people see something they want and hesitate.
Of course the definition of success is a whole different question but I can tell you this, I’m leaving for India, and you know why?
I made reservations.

Thank you … It’s not about money or connections – it’s the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone. I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.

Do you want to add a word or two?…
When it comes to defining success, we usually have difficulties with this task. Indeed, we are not likely to hold a shared view on how to define and measure success.
It is worth commencing with emphasizing that success is the thing that everybody perceives and defines differently. There is no common measure of success. Nor is there a common definition.
What might be considered as success by one person, can have nothing to do with what another one believes success is.
Needless to say that the reason for that is huge heterogeneity in dreams, ambitions and aspirations everyone aspire to. Moreover, each person tends to measure his own success based exactly on them: for you it might be a success to earn 1 million dollars a year, meanwhile Elon Musk is willing to colonize Mars.
As a result, you will always be successful for people who consider you the one. Meanwhile they can be successful in something from your point of view because they have achieved something you have not.
Nonetheless, if we still try to design some standard of success that everybody would agree upon, the things discussed are likely to boil down to such indicators as financial freedom and recognition.
This is what we apply to distinguish the successful from the cohort of people that do not achieve outstanding results.
Your comments ….
The thing is the ambitions are growing as you achieve them. Every time you accomplish something significant in your life, you set another goal which is bigger, better and probably more complicated to attain.
It is a never-ending pursuit of more.
If you ask a successful one about his success, you are likely to hear “Success? I would not call it so”. And the obvious reason for that is that he has already set another goal which he aspires to. Probably this is where he thinks his true success is.
Despite all the difficulties that are inherent in definition of success, in reality it is not a big deal to differentiate successful and not very successful people. And this difference appears obvious not only when you try to compare their accomplishments, but even earlier, when you compare their road to massive wins.
The beginning of the road to success looks like this:
They know what they want, focus on goals, face obstacles.
And this is where the majority opts out of the struggle and gives up. People who never achieve anything great find it totally fine to settle for mediocre life and never achieve big wins.
And this is where the major difference is.
The successful proceed and make one, two, three….thousand (if required) attempts more to accomplish the things they want. And later those things will be defined by masses as a matter of success.
Everyone wants to be successful but not everybody is willing to invest in making this a reality. To be bought in means to embrace the idea of doing everything required to achieve the success you are looking for. This could be anything from skipping parties to enduring a grueling training regimen.
You can’t have surface level reasons for success or else you will have trouble mustering the motivation to work for what you want. If you manage to achieve what you want you will struggle finding happiness in your success. An example is wanting to be a musician in order to be famous instead of a genuine love for music.
Your comfort zone is the enemy to success. Successful people understand that in order to move up the ladder you have to jump for it. Success will rarely be handed to you. Be willing to take a risk in order to move up the ladder of success no matter how afraid may be.
