The common narrative in the creator economy is that success is solely due to hard work and grit.

Creators proudly share stories of long hours, relentless effort, and grinding through hard times to make their dreams a reality. The implication is that anyone with enough determination can become an online creator.

But is that really the full story?

@Daojoan I'd have said "Chance" as "Luck" is really an animistic belief system that some talisman or ritual influences success rather than chance and the effort of individuals or teams.

Roal Amundsen may have been a bit close to the mark when he talked about good and bad luck (vs being prepared), but he had a point.
