Take it easy, and if it ain't easy, DON'T take it!
I have work a myriad, and a multitude of fortune 500 companies. I made them all rich I tell ya'. If you wanna get rich, there's 2 avenues open to you.......1st one? Find someone whom resembles "Your" level of rich. This is different foreach of Us. My example of rich? To become a myth. Just like the Devil, sans the evil. I wanna be the person whom never met, but possibly heard of, but only in circles of in-the-know individuals. I believe the ultimate luxury is anonymity. Out-of-sight = out-of-mind, and that's fine with me.
2nd: which in my opinion, is the hardest. Find someone rich, and add value to them. The reason it's hard? Rich people can care less about what you can do for them, or how passionate you seem, or even if you're sitting on the next microchip. The trick is......if you're "allowed" to hang around long enough.....without being a beggar, and have some genuine feelings for the asshole (they're all asholes!, IJS) if they EVER ask you for an idea, you better be ready. The trick is....NEVER PITCH IDEAS!!! I know it's hard, but don't! Instead, wait until asked, then WOW they asses!! You'll instantly change the power dynamic, and be moved into a different status.
