| 0:00.0 | What separates successful people from those who try for years and never really get anywhere? |
| 0:05.9 | Most people think it's IQ, talent, or some mix of strategy and luck. |
| 0:10.0 | But after studying people like Elon Moss, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, the only thing |
| 0:15.1 | that actually makes them different is speed. |
