The bottom line is that luck is a big part of your success whether direct or indirect. Also there is a world of difference between building a successful coffee shop and a software company let alone a consumer software company.

It's not the same. Some is more relying on luck, timing and chance than others. Ignorning that especially in our field is simply not in tune with reality (not saying you are saying that)
