When you think about billionaires, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Personal planes, fancy cars, or multimillion-dollar marketing budgets? On the surface, it appears that everything must have gone smoothly, but in truth, every successful person has overcome tremendous obstacles along the way to their achievement — it's just not "newsworthy," therefore it doesn't make the news.
