Prioritization Is More Important Than Hard Work

“Successful people focus on only a few priorities — they go all in working on those. So if you’re a salesperson, for example, you shouldn’t just cold call everyone in the book. You should focus on a few great prospects and work obsessively hard on those.”

Those characteristics include that they focus on a few tasks, are always trying to learn, and champion their ideas.
