How Bill Gates became wealthy by playing second fiddle

By Inc. by Lewis Schiff | February 6, 2013

Contrary to popular belief, Bill Gates did not get wealthy by being a visionary but being an executor.  He rode on the success of others:   IBM, Digital Research, Apple buying dirty operating software, working with the giants, riding with the bear.  But in the end came out victorious.

I am a biker, and doing such is sucking the wheel -drafting.   But those who draft use less energy and have extra power at the closing minutes of the race.  Those who are at the front tire themselves breaking the wind.

Some of the principles of Bill Gates:

l.  Strategic acting

2.  Powerful partnerships

Ferocious tenacity
