The true great creators do it for the passion for the craft,profit from it is usually not the great motivator in most cases. Its said that Tesla even sold his stock just to keep a project funded and going. Some like Rokafeller was probably mor greed motivated though. And his luck was simply being in the right place at the right time. If Henery Ford were born today, could he repeat what he did?
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.
