I have both benefited and been burned by this cliche. There are great ideas that die before they have a chance to come to fruition all the time. One of the reasons this happens is because there are so many good ideas out there, especially in the tech world, and but no one can predict the perfect timing to launch your earth shattering idea.

No one believed I could do it, even my wife had her reservations, and rightly so, I had nothing to show for my effort, except for three failed business ventures, and being sold down the river twice, by two different scammers. A lot of adversity came my way in a short period of time, a lot more than documentaries on successful people like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates, portray. This may be because I came into the tech world relatively late in life, and am less of a genius and more of a dreamer with grit, who refuses to give up on the the idea th...
