All of them really help any writer get ahead. If I had to vote for the most important factors, I'd pick hard work, focus and relationships. But really, none of the others should be neglected.

You never know where your next lead is going to come from. If everyone you run into is someone who could potentially help you along or pointing you in the direction of your next great gig, can you really afford to treat anyone with anything other than the utmost respect? You can't. I think nurturing relationships and making connections with a number of people – whether you think they can do something for you in your work or not – is the key.

Maybe tape it to my wall. Hard work and superior product are NOT enough. The world will NOT beat a path to find that better mousetrap. I know this from painful experience. They just won't. Networking and relationships matter, really matter. At the moment, the exact thing I’m doing to get ahead is printing this article on a PDF file that I can refer to over and over again.
