I’d say success is equal or a function of vision, ambition, execution, luck and timing… Nick Denton’s says timing’s got a lot to do with it.  Read more here via Valleywag:

A British-born Financial Times beat reporter sent to cover Silicon Valley during the dotcom boom, Denton reinvented himself as a technology entrepreneur. He sold a dotcom events business, First Tuesday, in a luckily timed deal as the bubble was bursting. He briefly entangled himself in an online newsfeeds venture called iSyndicate before starting a direct competitor, Moreover (that’s “more OH ver,” you Yanks.) But he quit as CEO years before VeriSign bought the company. He’s the first to admit that his success is more from good timing than hard work.

Interesting.
