And in many cases the success is a one off, and the personality at the center, is now an established &#8216;Expert&#8217; in all things, even outside of their granted success niche. <\/p>\n<p>I have encountered such people, and with rare exception, the success, their victory, has been more a &#8216;in the right place, at the right time&#8217; event. Call it one time lucky. Mind you some have been very lucky, and struck big. And either by ego, or genuine desire, seek to do it again, or to help others &#8216;make it&#8217;.
