Please clarify how you're defining an online entrepreneur. Someone who sells their own products online? Someone who promotes other people's products? Digital products? Physical products? Some combination of the above?

Also tell us more about how are you defining success. It would be useful to know more about what you have in mind when you use the word.

luck is a vital factor

Luck can certainly be significant, but it's also a reality that the harder you work, the luckier you get.

Both online and off, "lucky" people work more, learn more, make more connections, make more sacrifices. They often notice things that the rest of us miss.

"Chance favors the prepared mind." -- Louis Pasteur

What's really vital is having the wit to recognize an opportunity when it knocks.
