    I didn’t have any outside* help and started in a garage**

    * my uncle gave me a few hundred thousand starting capital and got me in touch with investors. But everyone has access to that if they know how to present themselves.
    **as the house of my parents had a second garage that was empty because they parked the second car in the driveway

      According to many of my schoolmates, who are all “self-made”, we managed to grow up in one if the wealthiest communities on Earth with one of the best public educations available while at the sane time they are entirely responsible for their success. The fact that I have known two presidents of major banks has had no impact on my chance for success vs the average person.
