Consistency Is Key
One thing I've figured out is that consistency is really the only key thing to moving towards success.
If you consistently work on something for a long time, it's much more probable that the thing will be a success.
An example to think about is this HN comment about the guy spending a few hours every weekday on the same project.
The reason that consistency is key is because Quality follows quantity, the more work you put in the higher the quality of your work will become.
