Great article Robert... extremely motivating... thank you for sharing this...

I exceptionally like this small excerpt from the article,

"Almost two-thirds of the world's 946 billionaires made their fortunes from scratch, relying on grit and determination..."

So beautifully said and so true...

Great stuff, thanks for posting. One can never hear enough inspiring stories.

On a similar vibe, here is a picture of nice AdSense check:

The 'plenty of fish' guy is also featured in this video from guy kawasaki. Its a long video, but I found it worth watching because unlike many of the self made billionaires in the article the OP posted, these guys, except the one woman in the group, made their fortunes building websites, something I'm interested in and I'm sure a few of you are too.
