What Does It Take?.....

The Wright Brothers
Thomas A. Edison
Alexander Graham Bell
Madame Curie
Colonel Sanders
Dave Thomas
the 409 Company
Henry Ford
Les Wexner
Bill Gates

on
and

How did these people do it?
How did these people get their ideas, their inventions, their cures, their empires, their dreams, off the ground?
Did they have teams of supporters around them encouraging them, telling them what to do next? Or was it born in them. Did they have struggles and hurdles to endure as their "next best thing" came to fruition? Did they have backers, people with lots of money to help get their project off the ground? Did they become so pushy and nasty that people had to listen to them? Were they scared? Did they do all of that for fun? Did they do it for personal gain or did they do it for the betterment of mankind? How did they approach it? Did they draw a master plan and follow it to the "T"? Or did they wing it and hope for the best?

How many times did they fail before they succeeded?

Did it take years and years and years or was it pretty much over night? And who paid their bills while all of the inventing was going on?

Did it hurt them when it was possible that their dreams were dying?

I wish I could answer these questions.

But I can't.

And it hurts.
