Another example of what you mention in your first paragraph that I’ve said before: It’s easy to break the world record in any running event. Just run faster than the world record holder did!
It should be fairly obvious that it’s not just a case of running faster. A list of necessary conditions for success is not a solution. (Though it can be a good start.)
Defining the success conditions is a critical first step, and you’d be surprised at how many people don’t do that. Many people frame their goals as a state-of-being, e.g. “I want to be the fastest runner in the world” rather than a success-condition, e.g. “I want to beat the current world record holder.”

I go into this in further detail in this post
