The full sentence:
Being the smartest, being the brightest, being the hardest; all of these attribute that worded so well in business in years gone by, now will not push you up the ladder quickly.
By the way, I confuse with "push you up the ladder". Does "push you up the ladder" mean promotion?

I assume it should say "all of these attributes that worked so well".
"years gone by" means past years. It is a common pattern of words, almost a set phrase. "gone by" refers to the passing of time. "days gone by" is also used.
Yes, "push you up the ladder" means "gain you promotion".
