No, you need a plan PLUS hard work PLUS enough flexibility and self-awareness to shift your plan and hard work accordingly when you are not succeeding. While working hard and never stopping is required so is a reasonable, obtainable Goal and Action Plan to get there.

A lot of people are willing to work their asses off (more than you would think) but they don't know what to do or how to do it.
