It seems like you haven't talked to many "successful" people yet, because if they become successful too early/easily, they forget all the lessons and think they became successful because they are so smart.

If you really want to get in-depth wisdom, you need to talk to a founder who has previously failed trying to do something awesome that no one has ever managed to do before.

The secret lessons can only be found at rock-bottom. They are just lying around there, because no one can be bothered going there and picking them up. So, go there.
