Are you talking abut statistics or comforting anecdotes? Yes there are people who started poor with poor parents who became successful. They are just a lot rarer than people who became successful entrepreneurs who had wealthy or upper middle families. In fact, most research shows that poverty negates the value of a high IQ. Some people also win the lottery - does that mean they should open a business school and advocate everyone sitting on their asses and buying lottery tickets?
