Tonight I went for a walk with the 15 yo son of my neighbour who said he wants to start his own company and have 1 million by the time he turns 18. I asked him, what do you have in mind? He said, I want to build a company that is cash positive and then reinvest its profit in itself and grows.
I told him this really does not mean anything. You need to have concrete steps toward this goal which is only 3 years away.
I think those who really wants to achieve the so-called "success" will just go figure it out rather than constantly reading those success story. Yeah perhaps at the very beginning of the journey you get inspired by reading a few of those.
But the rest is basically taking concrete steps and trying stuff out until it sticks. And the best way to do that is to go figure out HOW those people in the success story did it.

At least at the end he was happy with the answer.
