It is reassuring to see that successful internet entrepreneurship defies age. It sounds so easy to ’find that gap in the market’ and fill it but it isn’t. And being second just won’t cut it (look at all the Million Dollar Homepage wannabies who jumped on the bandwagon after it had started moving).Is that a matter of skill? Luck? Or both?
I’d say it was both--but luck doesn’t come without the skill no matter what some people would have us believe. :)
