About the Quote
Suppose you're a candidate for public office in your town. Success in this case means winning the final election. Before that happens, you need to win your party primary process or preliminary rounds. Before that happens, you need to perform all the tasks required of a candidate at that stage of the campaign process. Before that happens, advisors and staff need to be hired to run the campaign. Before that happens, proper paperwork needs to be completed and filed with the proper authorities. Before that, access to both media and donors needs to be secured. Before that, a network of people needs to be set up which can assist in any way possible.
The ultimate goal of winning an election requires many smaller tasks which must be completed. Each of these tasks has its own set of subtasks. Many of these tasks must be done daily. Some tasks which are done at longer time intervals (weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.) dependon the succesful completion of the daily tasks.
Being successful at something is the culmination of successful completion of smalelr tasks.
