A big point that the article is missing is the work put in.

If you're the kind of person that shoots several arrows, one (or more) of them is bound to hit and then you double down. It's a mix of luck, insight into opportunities, timing etc. Not a reliable formula for success but one that increases chances.

Just doing a lot of work opens up opportunities that idle planners can't even imagine.

Well put. Whenever people say „talent“ it’s important to keep in mind it’s usually a lot of work + luck. But few want to put in the work

I'd actually say that there is a shortage of opportunity and that most people are willing to put in the work or already have put in the work but it was just never fruitful

Yes. The passion, talent etc. follow the work. That's been my experience.
