Well said... although do you really mean "Resist change"?

Anyhow, the key takeaway is that successful people know what to say no to and what to say yes to. They set goals and avoid things that get in the way of these goals and do all it takes to achieve them.

Successful top American investor and hedge fund manager Ray Dalio (and Bitcoin skeptic!) provides a 5 step framework for setting goals in his excellent book Principles. These are:

1. Have clear goals
2. Identify and don’t tolerate problems that stop you achieving them
3. Accurately diagnose problems to get at their root cause
4. Design plans so you can get around them
5. Do what’s necessary to push design through to results
