- Oprah from Rags to Riches
An interesting article I just read talked about some of the most famous rags-to-riches stories the world has ever seen. Many of the examples in this articles document the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, Celine Dion, and J.K. Rowling. And, as compelling as these stories are, and impressive I might add, this still is not the norm. I guess what we can take from this article is you can make something out of nothing in terms of your financial health. You do not have to have money to make money.
It is more important to have attributes such as commitment, consistency and control to put yourself on the road towards financial freedom. These celebs share all of these attributes combined with the mind to succeed, and some opportunities or breaks, and became successful. You can do the same.
The key is to have a system and a plan to get where you are trying to go, and motivation and coaching always helps! I seriously doubt any of the people in this article saw themselves as who they are today; however, I can assume with great confidence they saw themselves achieving success!
