What Finally Determines Your Success Online?

My Friends and affiliates, I had been online foe quite some time now. I had some good days and some not so good.I know exactly what I did and eventually succeed. There is still more to achieve,but as time progresses a couple of things keep nagging in my head. Should I go at building a huge contact list; spend some of my earned cash to purchase leads; invest in more tools and systems, attend training webinars,attend conferences etc.or simply lay back and let me $2/week work entirely for me?
