As for You winning a lottery ticket, that would only make you lucky. Please do not try to justify my business with luck. Timing is everything in life. You can argue it was luck, but where it went came all down to necessary skill.
Perhaps accomplished was a poor choice of word, as Mark Twain once said
"There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded."

Tom, you took that 100% the wrong way...
All I meant was that Derek(Trance | Ghost) claimed you were more accomplished just because you have more money than the other guy(again, an assumption, he could be worth billions for all anyone knows). Money doesn't directly equal accomplishment was my point. I know lots of people with money that haven't accomplished a damn thing in their lives. I also know people with little money that I would consider quite accomplished.
I didn't claim you hadn't accomplished anything, just that if money = accomplishment then I could be VERY accomplished with a lucky lottery ticket.
I definitely agree with how things worked out for you.. You did have some luck, but you also had the idea/vision, good marketing plan, etc, etc, etc to pull it off. Not to mention perseverance to stick with ideas until you got a winner.
