Old money is comfortable. ... Some are soft as tofu and lazy as a summer breeze. Some are trust fund babies. Others got lucky through various positions and connections. Some creates the opportunities. Other find the opportunities. Most just wait for it. Generally, they barely understand the game of global evolution.
Interestingly, there are people who do not have the old money, but act like them. They are always dreaming that they will be a success because they feel that they put in the huge amount of time with their perception of "above average" amount of targeted effort. (When comparing their perception of "above average" amount of targeted effort to that of the the successful, the reality is that the effort is a minuscule of what is really required.)
We have always admire those who possessed this drive to make it happen.
Focusing on one's objective while minding one's big picture is one skill that many people do not have. Ensuring that the big picture connects to the big picture of the real world's is the another.
Regardless of those skills, how driven are you? ... What is your definition of the big picture? ... Is your big picture tangible? ... Does it connects with the global picture? What is your definition of the global picture?
If you can't honestly answer any of those five questions, you need to deliberate whether your strategy and your strategic decision model is quite working. If you are competing in a terrain of chaos and uncertainty, do you really know if you are ahead or behind the competition?
