Of course you need a decent product and some hard work to go with it. I'm not sure if I remember correctly but it was either Peter Thiel or Malcolm Gladwell that mentioned (in one of their books)how much luck and knowing the right people can make all the difference in the world. It makes sense because I know firsthand that the smartest folks are not necessarily the most savvy business people and a great product with good customer service may not be enough. Getting your foot in the door or knowing someone who can open a door can be a huge deal.
