To list a couple of rich people who started as regular joes;
Jeff Bezos started out as a regular guy with an idea to create a web based store that sold everything back when people thought that was a crazy idea.
Larry Ellison started out as a regular guy building databases but had an idea that all our info could be accessed from databases.
You gotta start somewhere. It’s just a matter of getting your idea to work. Some do, thousands don’t.
