To be successful:

1. What you know. 
2. Who you know. 
3. Money. 

For 1, it's always a better option as you have your own knowledge to get you to be successful with whatever you've studied or trained for. I feel like this is a guaranteed option to be successful.

For 2, sometimes knowing someone who can get you closer to being successful is a good option too. Although this one gives you a closer jump to being successful, it's not always going to work.

For 3, for money, it depends on how you're going to use it. There's a hell ton of ways to invest in to help you become successful. But not many people have sufficient enough money for wonders to happen.

What option do you guys think is best?

I'm gonna be honest. Money. If you're rich, you can do anything. I have a huge bucket list, but its gonna take some serious funds to get it done. So yeah, money matters the most. But just make sure you enjoy your life in the run to make money.
