Overnight Success: Yeah Right!

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

Tale of 100 Entrepenuers

Quite an interesting article on the length of time it took to grow many of the major firms in technology. This shoots a lot of holes in the glory myths of overnight success where in two months you are worth a billion five, PDiddy is inviting you to his house, and your enormous mansion has a 30 million dollar toilet so you don’t even have to wipe your own butt anymore.

Gold fever and hubris is a huge danger in life and in business. It is just like basketball. Don’t worry about winning, worry about each play and build on it, success takes care of itself.
