Wouldn't it be great if there was a formula for homeschool success?

If I do x and y and z, then our homeschool will be a success!   {I could probably make quite a bit of money if I ever developed that formula, right?}

Obviously, however, it isn't that simple. Homeschooling is such a subjective undertaking, and for a chronic Type A personality like myself this has been a tough pill to swallow.
