Success begets success: what are the basic heuristics of success?

Is success really complicated as gurus, experts, and influencers want us to believe?

How can the wisdom of the HN crowd unpack the algorithm for success?

I'll start (Cunningham's Law):

- Set a directional goal, the vision.

- Start taking the first step.

- Improve 1% per day.

- Compare where you are today to where you were yesterday, that's the one and only measure.

- Expect failures and setbacks along the way.

- Celebrate showing up each and every day.

- Collect knowledge and friends along the way.

- Keep on going and don't stop.

The end: the process is the goal.
