Facebook and the get-rich-quick theory

Recently, I have been hearing a lot of conversions around get-rich-quick schemes. Let's build another Facebook type of a site so we can be valued at X billion dollars and make a ton of money blah blah.

Wrong wrong wrong! Skewed thinking.

Money was not the criteria when Facebook started. Money is a by-product of something larger than life that they were attempting to conquer. They stuck to what they believed in and grew the service to what it is now. Brilliant!

You gotto believe in your idea, nurture it each day and see it grow. Money, success, fame and whatever else you call it will follow...you have to survive the journey to get to the end.

There are no get-rich-quick schemes if you play it right.
