I have to disagree that a major component of success in business is luck, generally speaking. A successful business relies on having repeatable processes that generate profit. If one wants to talk about becoming a billionaire or growing a social media company to the level of IPO, then I concede that an above-average degree of luck is involved.

Alternatively, it seems like many successes are built off the back of virality.

It can take luck to get the business off the ground though.

Some do, yes. I think this is especially true for independent content creators, as one example.
