outside looking in

I'm not the only one ever to make this complaint. But I have several times been close to success and have smelled and tasted it. But never have been able to find it. Two instance's that still bothers me is that I had an been asked to set up an Internet book seller -IN 1994!! I had a great concept and it was starting to take off. Then the owner handed it over to his incompetent son who totally ruined it. Then I had the idea with a couple of techie buddies to start a serious online networking site. This was opposed to the chat rooms etc of the early days. I bought the website www.networkinggrouponline.com in 2000. But Myspace, LinkedIn, Facebook came in later and did what I wanted to do. I'm sick and tired of being usurped. The next time I will come up with a cutting edge trend it will succeed or I will die trying. I am sick of living in the world of "what might have been." I am not going to meet my Lord and say I buried my talent in the ground. I want to hear "well done, good and faithful servant."
