Wow thank you, when I get all inspirational and big thinking, I'm used to getting shot down by HN, so it makes me happy that it resonates with you.

How to aim for $100M? Try something crazy, something that other people will look at you suspiciously and whisper he's crazy is he?

Why? Because where is crazyness, there is magic and you will be the only one there, because somehow humans don't like to do crazy things, they like to stay within the norm, not create too much noise.

To become really successful, you need to be 1 out of a million. Some might it's very hard to become 1 out of a million. However, it's very easy if you're trying to do something crazy and that's all you need.

As for what to do, try to find a big problem that can be solved with a nice and sweet app that can be built within 2 months. It doesn't have to be hard to build, it can just be a little app, but you need to try to look for magic.

An example would be Snapchat, super weird, crazy, tiny app, magic.

Hope that helped.
