Winners push through four things most people quit on: rejection, repetition, criticism, and failing in front of others. You don't need more talent. You need to do what's uncomfortable when it's inconvenient.
You absolutely don't need to be more talented than 99% of people. You just need to tolerate what they avoid. Things like rejection without taking it personally, and repetition without getting bored, feedback without getting defensive. If you're willing to fail repeatedly, look foolish in front of people you respect, and keep going when it's absolutely no longer convenient, you will outperform almost anyone.
