The psychological literature on expertise and mastery is nothing to do with "igon value"[0] Gladwell. If any one person were to be associated with deliberate practice it should be K. Anders Ericsson[1].
Gladwell is an excellent storyteller; that is the extent of his talents.
And a goal as vague as "a successful startup" is extremely unlikely to get you anywhere. You need a great deal more specificity and short time periods so you can tell if you're going right or wrong.
