If it were that easy anyone just need to adapt & work hard and can excel in anything they want, there will be lots of billionaire, nobel laurates and A* celebrities walking on the streets. The world is not short of hard working people.
why not (i agree with the person who state that adaptability is important and the willing to learn is important)? there are people who did that? those startups? you think they have those soft skills and business skills to become their own company CEO? No. They work hard and of course work hard is not enough but also to venture out of their comfort zone. Some CEO does not have passion in business but they want to be their CEO because they believe in their product. Which is why they have different people focusing on different roles (CEO, CFO, CTO, CTO and etc.)

Many people think the way you are and people who think that are those who did not step out of their comfort zone yet. (comfort zone meaning out of their normal/daily activity) Like for example, if you are working for a company and have 6K per month salary, if there is an opportunity for you to start up your own business, will you do it? Are you willing to start from scratch?

Certainly, not all hard working people are billionaire, not all CEO are successful, but is the first step that they are willing to take to step out of their comfort zone. Of course there are other priorities for other people. Some people like to live in a stable life, and some people just doesnt have the motivation to do big things and sometimes luck plays a part.
