For example, Robert Kiyosaki lost everything he owned and had to live in someone’s basement. You can imagine the enormous blow his ego endured. Instead of whining and yelling a blue murder, he was motivated to keep going and became a millionaire in just 4 years. Peter J. Daniels couldn’t even read until he was 21!
