No offense but I know I'm not, it's only been a year to date.

My uncle worked for and was a producer for pixar which I would consider pretty near the top, but you may not, he did it without help.

Another uncle worked for startup after startup in the 90's. He told me he succeeded on luck. But he had been with 7 other startups before and as each failed he had a fairly in depth analysis of why and didnt give up just to be stable. He took his severance, bought property, and retired at 30 to be with his family. With my aunt his hobby is property investment.

My father most recent business, his current one, after a year and a half hit 1 million in earnings. Which is solid imo.

My grandfather was an immigrant who owned a restaurant and retired. He was not a good person but he worked hard enough and got by.

I was homeless a while back, I didnt receive help from my family. I went to the library often and read. Did you know Genghis Khan nearly died in the middle of the Gobi steppe? He was lucky to be alive; he had accomplished nothing at 40. He did not unite the Gobi after that on luck, he did not have the largest empire in history on luck. He's not the only one with a story like that. You limit yourself saying you can't be the best, but I see what I see.
