Well it's certainly a (IMHO) sad fact of business that an 'easier' way to be successfully is not to have a good idea necessarily, or even be a hard worker, but to be around people who can help you commercialise it. Money and connections go a long way. Specially when money gets you smart employees. It suggests that if you want to be in "business", you should not exactly be working on your application/system/device but out at parties, meeting people, etc. >From that point of view I don't consider myself anything like a "businessman" more like "a working guy who wants your money" :D Bothers me a bit, but that's the way it is. > It seems like everything goes back to building a strong community that > supports each others.
