In summary, what are your thoughts on what it takes to be successful?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Patience is key, first and foremost. Next comes having a healthy sense of detachment from the outcome of your actions. Never get so invested in your work that you lose sight of why you started doing the work in the first place. And also, rewarding yourself for a job well done is a fairly good idea, just don't go overboard.

Your patience recommendation speaks deeply to me.

People forget that success is a matter of years of consistent hard work.

Don’t leave out the luck factor.

‘There’s a thousand better singers than me out there, singers you’ve never heard of. Why me and not them? Because I was in the right place at the right time. Lucky fuckin’ me, mate.’ - Ozzy Osbourne
