Hey,
 
Just thinking aloud, that perhaps the first most important step, is to dream, dream really BIG.
Then the import of it will not just be to have a passion for an idea hijacked from elsewhere, but
to birth and own, and passionately run with it. And the rest, as they say, will be in the annals of
history...

Hi

The first step is to have a passion for what you want to do, then identify a problem that needs solving and solve it all for the fun and passion of it not the money.

Mariga, Ronaldo and the rest of the ilk first played soccer for the fun and passion of the game the scouts, enforcements and money then followed.

Regards

PS.  I was recently reminded that once you have rent to pay your ability to do anything new diminishes exponentially and once the kids come along forget about coming up with any radical, industry changing application or business concept.  If the idea was not incubated when you where in high school or campus then join the large band of IT vendors as the other train has left.

Without fear I will repeat what I commented previously "money follows great ideas; period". I also like a comment from a Google employee, in one of the documentaries, "Google is an extension of college"

What's the first step?
