The myth of the “overnight success” is exactly that—a myth. Every one of these individuals struggled in the beginning. They faced rejection, made mistakes, worked through setbacks, and doubted themselves more than once. What separated them from the crowd wasn’t that they never failed—it’s that they kept going after they did.

Ora immagina di costruire, mattone dopo mattone, un business immobiliare partendo da zero. Di passare dalle aste giudiziarie di piccoli monolocali in provincia a gestire interi condomini in località turistiche. Di trasformare ogni ostacolo in un'opportunità, ogni rifiuto in una lezione, ogni errore in un gradino verso l'alto.

I was a boy who started with nothing and finished with more than I ever wished for. I want to inspire others to do the same and to learn from my experiences. As a young man, I always questioned if I'd be able to make my mark in the world because I didn't have the smarts or grades that most of my classmates had. I wasn't a good athlete, which is what counts in grammar and high school, and my parents didn't have a lot of money. I did understand though that if I didn't do it for myself, there was nobody else to do it for me. Today, I consider myself the luckiest person in the world.
