Getting famous is easier than reaching the level of competence that will give a person the ability to reliably found sustainable businesses.

(I'm not kidding.)

Competence? Yes. Actually getting famous vs Founding a company? I'd say founding a sustainble company is more much more likely.

There tons of sustainble small businesses around. Probably won't start the next apple, but tons of fogcreek style companies are around.

Getting famous is actually pretty easy if that's what you focus on. It is, however, also pretty pointless.

It probably depends on what you want to be famous for...
