Ten Tips Guaranteed to Improve Your Startup Success
1) Be raised with access to clean drinking water and sanitation. (Every tech billionaire I’ve ever spoken to has a toilet!)
2) Try to be born in a region that is politically and militarily stable.
3) Grow up with a family that is as steady and secure as possible.
4) Have access to at least a basic free education in core subjects.
5) Avoid being abused by family members, loved ones, friends or acquaintances during the formative years of your life.
JUST REMEMBER THO-
You can still succeed even if the cards are stacked against you
A little information goes a long way!
Aoine is right, of course. This does a good job pointing out that fact that people who start the race 50 yards in front of the starting line become blind to those advantages – and attribute 100% their success to their hard work.
