People (NT's) who are successful have got there with any combination of the following:
1 - Hard work (They are usually married to their jobs)
2 - Excellent social skills (They can negotiate, influence and persuade)
3 - They use their sexuality in a clever way (even if that means shagging the boss)
4 - They want what they are aiming for (They really want it)
5 - They take opportunities and are ready for them
6 - Their face fits
7 - They know who the right people to know are and they get in with them
8 - They are willing to be ruthless
9 - They play the game
10 - They are not out to make friends (unless it means getting a leg up)
There is probably more to add to the list but these people are nothing special, they just want to be succesful and devote all their efforts to that cause.
This is a good list. I've noticed these differences between people with a comfortable income (say ~$100K/yr) and those making much more. Being good technically and having great social skills is more important than having great technical skills and sucky social skills if you want to become rich. You can hire the guy with great technical skills and OK social skills for less than you bill him out (ie, my case) and profit on the spread.
