We're kind of saying the same thing, but not completely. Without the genetics you won't get anywhere.

You can do all the hard work in the world and not hit 300w.

Or you can roll off the couch and hop on a bike and be rolling 300w within a couple of weeks.

The former happens much more frequently than the latter, but the latter does happen.

And that's simply genetics. So I don't agree with your last sentence at all, especially in regards to the op who was talking about a fairly mediocre (relatively speaking) wattage like 300w. Hard work does matter for many, but not for all for that level.
