There are many amazing success stories of ordinary people that you can look up to. These examples will inspire you to move forward, realizing your dreams and goals.

Three success stories

1. Howard Schultz

Howard was born into a poor family in Brooklyn. His parents had a difficult financial situation, so the boy began to work at the age of twelve. He sold newspapers, stretched skins in a fur store. He dreamed of opening his own cafe, so eventually he got a job as a waiter to learn about the work of the catering facility first-hand. Howard paid close attention to how the structure worked, what could be emulated and what needed to be improved. Hard work toughened him up, strengthening the desire to fulfill the dream even more. Years later, he achieved his goal by opening a chain of coffeehouses. The experience that he gained in his youth was useful to him in the development of his own business. Today, Schultz is the owner of the chain of 31 thousand coffeehouses around the world better known as Starbucks.

2. Amancio Ortega

Today he is one of the richest people in the world. But once he had to drop out of school to help his family that lived in poverty. The boy started to work in a shirt shop. Thanks to his responsibility and determination, Amancio climbed the career ladder rather quickly. By the age of 17, he had gained enough experience and quit his job with the goal of creating his own company. Ortega began with the production of women's bathrobes, but gradually the business grew, and Amancio opened the first retail store — Zara.
