Great thoughts BYTRADE.  Here are a couple of other keys to success:

• Integrity: NEVER lie to your customers
• Value: Be prepared to demonstrate how the value you bring exceeds the price you're charging, whatever it is.
• Structure: Nowadays it's very easy to let your attention move to non-revenue producing activities. Have a plan or schedule in place to prevent this

This is definitely agreeable that success is not an easy task to achieve. A person requires perfect planning and managing of all the aspects that are related to the work he / she does. Having a certain goal and willingness to achieve it with patience needs to be imprinted in every moment of the aspiring person’s life.

Learn a lot.
