The Harder I Work, The Luckier I Get

Think about that for a moment, the harder I work, the luckier I get. I first heard this quote years ago, but it didn't fully stick in my head until earlier this year when I attended a Donald Trump conference, in which he uttered those exact same words.

So if you want to become the "Tiger Woods of web video", you must do like he has done to succeed. This being practice, play, fail, learn, practice, try, fail, improve, and so on until you reach your goals. There are many successful web video creators out there already, but I don't believe we have yet witnessed the Tiger within this emerging market.

In a world where number 1 is rewarded exponentially more than number 2, I wonder if we will see without a doubt, a clear cut web video creator winner. Will it be as easy to identify as current markets dictate, i.e. Google in search, Ebay in auctions, Amazon in books, YouTube in video, and iTunes in music. Or will it be more of a rotating hit list where long-term clear cut winners are debatable?

Does the number 1 web video creator reside in YouTube because it's the largest video site, or do we need to aggregate stats across many web video site audiences to conclude a more accurate answer?

The harder I work, the luckier I get, but what also holds true is, the harder I work, the more there is to learn, and the more confused I ultimately become.
