You can't live without water for more than a few days. It doesn't matter if you've had the best survival training, after a few days without water your body just stops working.
Water isn't something that is nice to have. It's something you need in order to stay alive. The same can be said of food and oxygen and sunlight. Without those things you will not survive. They aren't luxuries; they are absolute essentials.
To achieve the outrageous success you crave, you need to be the water, food, oxygen and sunlight others need in their lives right now. You need to be so valuable to them they just can't make it without you.
