Then through his own intelligence and work ethic became friends and business partners with other hard working smart men. One turned out to be the local bank president a few years later. The other became the biggest real estate agent in central florida.

And you totally missed it. You call your Grandfather individualistic, and perhaps rightfully so, but where did he get his work ethic from?
Well, he got it from working at the railroad at such a young age. He most likely had a number of mentors there.
You call him individualistic yet you mentioned "friends" and "business partners". And somewhere along the line other people worked for him and made him the success he was.
No one climbed their way to the top on their own without the help of others.
