Start small, beat odds and become a millionaire

Do you occasionally feel the need for a little inspiration on your road to wealth creation? Perhaps, like me, you love to read about people who started small and beat all odds and made a dramatic rise in their financial situation.

You certainly must have read the rags to riches stories of Ingvar Kamprad, the Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich, Oprah Winfrey, Micky Jagtiani and the British author JK Rowling of the Harry Potter series who progressed from living on welfare to multi-millionaires within five years.
