That makes a lot of sense. Indeed the most charismatic and attractive people I've known rarely seem to have any idea how it works. It comes across as false modesty but it's likely indeed a mystery. People I've known who are financially successful (some massively so) tend to fall into two categories though. Some will say that this and this and that happened just so, and they wouldn't begin to know how someone else could replicate it. Others will say it's just a matter of perseverance and not making stupid mistakes and anyone can do it if they just bothered to, despite ample evidence to the contrary.

May be they are both right, since surely there's both a repeatable process [0] and a non-repeatable process [1] to get rich? [0] acquire skill that's highly paid (doctors?); acquire skill needed by rapidly-growing sectors (crypto? biotech?) [1] right place at the right time
