Robert Herjavec of Shark Tank once said:
"I can tell you the person who will succeed if ten people walk into this room." He was asked how, and he said that anyone who follows the process — e.g, being confident, always prepared for opportunities, etc — will succeed.
He then said, But to be super successful? To be a Billionaire? To become an outlier? You just have to get lucky or find some grace on your way up.”
The most important factor is Grace. Many people who would ordinarily have been successful by the scale of their efforts/process have gone into the ruins of history because they lack Grace.
The process matters, and I preach that too; however, always pray for God’s grace because grace perfects the variables to make your process shine.
Remember: at the end of the day, only winners become motivational speakers.
Try to have variety of experiences.
If you are banker, work in operations, marketing, customer service, etc. An accountant? know what tax, treasury, account payable, reporting, etc do.
Having these on your cv makes you an all round professional. You can then focus on a specific area of interest to specialize in.

Yup. Greater than everything you have accomplished, and greater than everything you still hope to become. Anyone who thinks otherwise clearly wasn’t raised with the right family values.
Somehow we’ve managed to build a society that worships money and frowns at hard work.
I don’t know if it’s poverty or something that has turned us into this, but it’s who we are.
Nobody cares how you make money, just make it. And people would worship and praise you.
