Is it odd that every time I see "How to be successful" posts, all of them are subjective opinion that's repeated from several hundred other "How to be successful" posts?

It's almost like there's no road map to success.

Here's my list, and its only one item.

"Be able to sustain yourself. To do that, find any profession where the income > expenses."

I learned that's the single, most important thing to being successful. If you can keep that up, everything else is just icing on the cake.
