What is next in the menu?

"I want to make one movie, one day".  "I want to write one book, one day",  "I want to have my own store, one day",  "I want to write a book, one day". So what if you want to do it once.  So what even if you did it.  What is next?   Many Nobel prize winners haven't shipped another Nobel prize winning act after that.  After writing a book they haven't written anything after that.

Learning from the few

Why very few Start up companies are successful? Why very few individuals are Billionaires? 9 out 10 companies fail within first five years of their formation and 9 out 10 such companies fail within 10 years. So is the success rate of new start up companies. Hence we do not see a Google, a Microsoft, an amazon.com every day being formed. Our lives are quite similar. Not everyone can become Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein or Warren Buffet. What sets them apart from the crowd? Successful Start ups and Billionaires have few things in common. 1) Clear cut goals 2) 3 year, 5 year, 10 year plans 3) Vision for the future 4) Strategic partnerships 5) Continuous improvement 6) Invest in R&D 7) Invest in Human capital 8) Invest in long term Assets 9) Hard work and persistent effort 10) Passionate How can these have an impact in our daily life and our career?
