## Resource

Michael Wickett reveals the single golden key behind almost every great success — and it isn't talent. He explains why people who earn fortunes weren't born with a genius gene, how one man's refusal to quit gave us Post-it Notes, and why your reaction to a setback matters more than the setback. This episode will challenge you to pick one purpose and refuse to quit on it.
