For those of you who do not know him he is a multi-millionaire and best-selling author of multiple books as well as an expert coach for businesses and entrepreneurs.

But he started writing while living in the house of his girlfriends parents.

He wrote in her bedroom, on a tiny laptop, with a desk so small nothing else fit on it.

J.K. Rowling did not only get rejected 13 times for her famous book series, but she also used to be on welfare when she wrote her books!

At the time she wrote her first Harry Potter novel she was a divorced, single mother with barely enough money to get by.

Eminem did not make his first success until 27 years old, until which he worked multiple jobs at minimum wage to support his daughter as a single parent, not even having enough to buy her Christmas presents most years, during all of which he still continued to work on his rap.
