In this order
1. Secure capital
2. Come up with an idea
3. Identify a few passionate people in the field to make the idea happen
4. Constantly bounce around securing more capital
5. Make a fancy website that is slick on the consumer end and an absolute shit storm on the back end
6. Burn out the tech team that built the website so they all quit
7. Hire new tech team that has no idea what is going on with the code and essentially keep patching legacy software
8. Initial passionate hires start to burn out
9. Create an HR department tasked with hiring new people
10. Hinder HR’s ability to hire by not providing funding for competitive pay, bonuses, healthcare.
11. Buy a Tesla
12. Hopefully by this point you have captured enough market share to interest or annoy a Fortune 500 company and get bought out.
13. Take all the money from the buy out and any remaining excess capital that has been raised.
14. Create a rags to riches origin story that loosely resembles your life and sell that (podcast interviews, book, maybe a Ted Talk)
Boom… the American Dream
