I'd have to disagree. Opportunity is enough to become successful. But it's the advantages that the individual takes in that opportunity that make it as successful as they want. For example, final drafts, editing, format, dialog, delivery etc. are tools in the craft for shaping up the story once it's complete. Tools that can be as helpful as the author wants them to be. Also, the same goes for recognizing, and marketing ones target audience, another tool that helps make the author successful. Both which are there in the opportunity to self publish.
It's best to look at these tools as investments into ones talented craft. The more you polish your story, the better it's enjoyable for the reader, which will reflect appreciation.
Just my opinion.
