Okay, guys, here's the situation: I'm ghostwriting an e-book on success and I need two examples of famous people who set a clear goal and achieved it. It's not about vision in general, since there's a chapter for that already, it's more about clear goals. I have Ellen Degeneres who got on "O" magazine (you go girl!). Can someone suggest something? I'm really stuck with this one..

Do they have to be 'current' or can they be deceased?

Anyone? Any ideas?

I feel so silly to get stuck with something that seems to be so simple to find

Yeah, but I used Jim Carrey in another chapter, so I couldn't use him in this one.

Anyway, I think the story about the cheque Jim Carrey wrote for himself is amazing

If you're still looking, there's always Andrew Wiles and Neil Armstrong.

The Winner's Bible has a conversation between Arnold Schwarzenegger and someone else who recommends Arnold to open a chain of body building studios with the prize money of his Mr. Olympia. No, Arnold replied, I have bigger plans: first I become a Hollywood star and then I go into politics. Amazing drive and foresight I would say.
