Why Talent Alone Fails: The Surprising Key to True Success Revealed
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the decades, it’s that talent is certainly alluring, but discipline is a far better indicator of success.
Success Without Talent
Plenty of things can hold talented writers back from success:
- Some people only write when they feel like it.
- Some can’t accept criticism or stick it out through revisions and tedious or unpleasant phases of a project.
- Some refuse to learn new skills and practice the craft.
- Some give up too easily or drop projects to chase after newer ideas that seem more exciting.
- Some lack discipline, which encompasses just about everything else on this list.
Notice a theme? Discipline, not talent, is a more reliable path to success.
