This video was a great way to learn about the study of success. Richard interviewed 500 successful people and asked them what they thought made them the successful person they are today. How he decided weather or not the person was successful is not clear but he did put some pretty impressive names behind his evidence. Names like Bill gates the computer genius.

If you are unable to achieve one of these steps, is success still an option?
I agree with success usually follows passion but I’m wondering if there are exceptions who followed their dreams but did not turn out to be successful. I feel this way about approaching wealth/success because there are so many people out there with failed attempts at things like 'facebook' and 'google' and not everyone turns into a Mark Zuckerberg or a Steve Jobs. What do you think about that?
