I'd guess 120 mark. There's no measure of creativity or determination really though, I think that is mainly what makes people successful in this way. Anybody can come up with a good idea, its putting in the hard yards to make it a viable product that makes the difference. When I look at the businesses I have been involved with, (not to blow my own horn) but with one or 2 exceptions I'm probably 10-15 points above the CEO's. (more in some cases lol). But they are the ones with the $400k a year salary. Who is the smart one there? afaik he is also the one behind the tesla roadster. This guy has done everything i want to do, except he made millions of dollars first. See that's my mistake ;-> an "old" adage. How do you become a new space millionaire? Start of as an internet billionaire. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
