Joke's on you, I would've achieved my goals for my work if and only if I'm fulfilled by my work 
Anyway, my advice is: Rome wasn't built in a day.
Explanation:
Take your time to refine your story. Don't skimp on behind-the-scenes development, and don't stop developing those ideas even once you've started writing and publishing your story. Figure out what you really want to say; if you pull from the very surface of your mind, it's likely to be what everyone else have been saying recently. Really dig for something only you can say, or a way to say something that's already been said in a way unique to you.
Be careful though to not use this as an excuse to neglect your work. If you work on your story for 1 year, do nothing for the next five years, and then resume working on it again for 1 year, you've worked on your story for 2 years, not 7.
As for commercial success, which is what I assume more what you were asking for with 'literal success' (since everyone's goals are different^ but commercial success seems to be what's most often assumed by 'goals'), my advice is:
Be strategic about how you release content.
Explanation:
Publish regularly, so people know who you are and remember who you are. But this doesn't necessary have to mean actually producing regular content. You can build a buffer, and not release anything until you've accumulated enough such that you can release regularly over a good period of time.
In an ideal world, all that should matter is if your stuff is out there or not. But that's not the world we live in, so don't be afraid to game the attention economy
^ so I guess my literal advice for your definition of 'literal success' would be 'know your goals'
