Tom Krieglstein breaks down winning into three parts: will to win alone isn't enough. You need concrete preparation, planning logistics and resources, then decisive action to execute and persist through setbacks. Successful people combine all three.

I have no doubt that if you're listening to this right now, you're the kind of person that has the will to win. However, I see that not being enough because there's two other aspects of this that need to happen. Otherwise it just won't happen. You will not win. The first thing is you have to prepare, physically. Lay out what the plan is, find out the logistics for it, look at what the resource is going to cost, the time is going to take for you to do it, and, and the second. And I know this sounds strange, but you actually have to do it. It's amazing how many people have the will, the excitement to do something, but never create a plan and never actually work on that plan. Or worst, they hit their first hiccup and they stop. The people who succeed have the will, create the plan, do the plan and hit the first hiccup, keep going, hit the second hiccup, keep going, third hiccup, keep going and keep going and keep going and iterate until they get it.
