The narrowing tip. Did I miss anything?

It seems to me I've found a small pattern that most of the successful business people I've met follow, give or take 20 cents. They tend to have always a free pizza, some kind of extra value, to bring to the table. They collect various (somehow intangible) assets along the way.

Some of them collect valuable stories. The kind of stories that will give you a good lesson based on facts. Very valuable information.

Some of them collect strategies, facts, results. They remember numbers, selling and marketing strategies that worked out those numbers, etc. Pretty much like collecting results and stats for your favorite sport star.

Some of them ...

The pattern seems to be, they narrow their focus on which kind of assets they enjoy collecting, and then collect, collect and collect them along their way. In a little word, this is sometimes called experience. Collecting experience. How to concentrate on collecting the maximum and most useful experience out of each experience.

What do you think? Did I miss thie subject in my books and magazines, or is my shelf missing some good literature?
