A common held belief is “right place, right time”. In practice, this extends to the magic formula “Do the right thing to the right person the right way in the right place at the right time”. That said, it’s no surprise that achieving anything with a single try is highly improbable. The obvious upside is that you have 5 excuses to pick from in case you should fail. And we experience it every day, no matter what side of the desk we’re on.
Instead, most success is built over time. Not in one place, but everywhere. By trying and measuring different approaches. To people that have given you permission to talk to them. Because you do something they care about.
Same aspects, different story.
