Here are the steps. Pay close attention, okay?
First, invent an Internet service that everyone loves. It should be based on one of the three basic needs that everyone shares:
- Food
- Shelter
- The need to post personal videos to the Internet
Second, from your garage or basement, start a company that provides this service. If you don't have a garage, you could be in trouble at this point. You have to start it in the garage. All highly successful companies were started in garages. Google , Apple , YouTube , etc. A dormatory might suffice, as it did in the case of Dell . The only real exception to this is Microsoft, which Bill Gates started by eating another software company.
Third - and this here is the critical step - get bought out by Google before your company's second birthday for 1.65 billion dollars .
Don't be fooled by the relative ease of this formula. I think that last step there might be harder than it sounds.

What about a lovely breakfast nook or a window bench? Having one of those could be a spring board to my online knitting empire. Right? Right?
