It's definitely all about the gear. Not the business sense, pitching, hustle, creative vision, luck, or ability to deal with clients constantly trying to lowball you.
Just do it. It's not worth breaking a lens, I know, I've done it.

A excellent backpack for photographers. Every part of it is thoughtfully designed, and cameras/lenses are easy to access at a moments notice.
I've used this backpack extensively for short travel and shoots that don't require much strenuous activity. Ever part of it is thoughtfully designed, and cameras/lenses are easy to access at a moments notice. In a pinch, I've also used it as a weekend travel bag when I'm trying to avoid those carry-on bag charges :)

I don't actually own one of these...because it's $600. But damn do I want one.
All my more successful photographer friends rave about this tripod, since they spend more time shooting and can afford it.

This little piece of gear will change how you shoot while adventuring. Trust me. I've used it climbing, hiking, backcountry skiing, mountaineering, and backpacking with great success.
I've used it climbing, hiking, backcountry skiing, mountaineering, and backpacking with great success. It's hard to put into words how much of a difference it makes having your camera so accessible. Additionally (besides being quite visible), it's much more secure to use while traveling. Because the clip "locks" every time you put the camera on, you don't have to worry about your strap getting cut and your camera grabbed.

One of the highest quality and most versatile lenses you can own.
This is the lense on my camera 90% of the time. It's great for all styles of shooting. Image quality is phenomenal across the zoom range and the AF performance is flawless.
