The great thing about advice like this is, is that you can give away all the real secrets to your success, but never fear that people will take you on because people either feel satisfied just listening to it rather than doing it, or just don't want to hear it and come up with excuses why the advice-giver clearly doesn't understand the real world.
I've always considered that aspect to be entirely brilliant.

Reading their cook books or watching their tv shows isn't going to propel you to their level of skill or put them out of business, just help you a bit a long the way. The secret to success isn't secret.
