He is quoted as saying, “There is no point in starting your own business unless you do it out of a sense of frustration."
4. Steve Jobs
Born to parents that put him up for adoption, and then later notoriously dropping out of college, Steve never lost sight of his vision, even after getting kicked out of his own company. Determined to put out the products he knew were possible, Steve revived Apple at the verge of bankruptcy to create an industry-changing brand and product. In pursuing your dreams, Jobs says, “Don’t let the voice of others drown out your own inner voice.”
5. J.K. Rowling
The turmoil ensuing the death of her mother, birth of her first child, divorce from her first husband, and relative poverty, gave rise to Harry Potter - the best-selling book series in history.Looking back, Rowling described her failure as “liberating” and that it allowed her to focus on writing.

After realizing that she wouldn’t be able to advance further as an editor at Vogue, she leftIno build her own retail empire worth over $1 billion. In one interview, Vera shares, “People have done far better than me in far shorter periods of time, but that wasn’t my story. It was brick by brick, client by client, store by store. It’s been a trip of passion, but it has not been a quick trip. Nor has it been easy. And that is the truth.”
