Lots of people have.

My brother opened a lawn service in Port Charlotte Fla.
He worked his ass off around the community (even joined a local church) and through his force of will and desire got the contracts of most of the major businesses and trailer parks.

He took that money and saved up for a boat. He then took more of the money he made with his lawn service and began courses to become a certified boat captain. He acheived that.

He shut down his lawn service company. Went to work as a boat salesman at a marina. And began doing charter fishing at the same time. Built the business up while continuing to sell boats at the marina.

He started all this in 2001 from NOTHING (coming off a bad divorce with no money).

By 2005 he quit the marina and now is a successful charter boat fishing captain and making a fortune.

THAT is how you do it. But not everybody (worker bees) have that kind of drive, intelligence, and ambition.

He did.
