As I stated somewhere below. You're essentially saying there is no such thing as a self made success. You state that successful people just have stuff handed to them. It's just such BS. Are there people that get it handed to them? Yes. Is it harder for some other people to become a success? Yes What on earth does that have to do with you?! My dad (who was killed in an accident when I was 12 so don't be a dick) was completely self made. His dad was into drugs and was never around. He dropped out of community college and worked his ass off in construction. Started his own construction company and failed through difficult times in the 90s. Him and my mom had nothing. Did he quit? No. He started working at New York Life with no prior experience. Read at least one book a week and taught himself how to be successful in the financial world. Eventually became independent and became the biggest annuity salesman in the entire country for 2 different insurance companies. Started a marketing company that employed 200 people. Don't tell me it can't be done
