From a young age my grandmother taught us about the Success Triangle. The smallest portion of the triangle is intelligence, and the other two parts are comprised of self-discipline and interpersonal skills. Although extremely simple, I would imagine that any successful person you know has a healthy mix of the these attributes. It is worth noting a few things that you will not find on the success triangle: family money, race, gender, home town, luck or the myriad of excuses people can come up with to hide their fear of success. The bottom line is that anyone can be successful with the right mindset and the right mix of intelligence, self-discipline and interpersonal skills.
