I don't know that I believe this. I'm a newly minted... well, not billionaire, but a "living comfortably"-onaire, with wealth created by a little software-as-a-service business that I built from scratch. I had no connections, unless you count posting to this forum and the old Business Of Software one at joelonsoftware.com. I just read stuff online, taught myself the business part, and spent the seven dollars on the domain name. I feel like the bit you wrote is what people tell themselves so that they can safely not try. It's not possible. Best not bother. I'd recommend otherwise, personally.
