For the past couple of days there is only one question on my mind is it possible to build a company worth 1 billion dollar in 3 years yes 36 months now don’t ask me how I got the magic numbers of 1 billion or 3 years but I guess the reason for such crazy questions going in my mind are the number of interviews I see on TV of entrepreneurs and new generation of business leaders in the making taking over family run businesses in India after their studies saying that their targets are to take their family businesses past the 1 billion dollar mark and make the business more professionally managed and not family run.
Hmm all this has certainly got me thinking is it possible to build a company in a small place like goa worth a billion dollars in 3 years well maybe it is but has it been done in goa not yet anyway I don’t think it has been done in india also yet but one place where it has been done is US and in a place like silicon valley anything is possible for example in recent history youtube.com was founded in February 2005 and in less then 3 years was sold to Google for more then a billion dollar in Google cash and stock.
So the conclusion is if you target a global audience with your innovation then it is definitely possible to build a company worth a billion dollars in 3 years the vital factors to achieving the goal being innovation,usefulness and global audience but if you are building a small entity with focus on smaller geography then it is not possible unless maybe you start digging in your backyard and you strike oil or a diamond mine hahahahahaha 
as they say for striking it reach you don’t just require smart work but also a bit of luck
