Remember These Guys?

Remember earlier on when we told you that Bill Gates, Hewlett-Packard, and others started small with big dreams? Remember that many millionaires have at one time or another had to declare personal bankruptcy (remember Donald Trump's problems?). Why? Because they're risk-takers. And risk can bring great rewards or great setbacks. So remember these risk-takers the next time you're feeling blue.

• Donald Trump

• Bill Gates

• Howard Hughes (OK, he ended up lonely and insane, but before that he was rich beyond his wildest imagination )

• Kate Spade

• Vera Wang

• Martha Stewart

• Francis Ford Coppolla

• Jimmy Carter (you don't think it's risky to go from peanut farmer to the White House?)

No matter what you aspire to do, there's a role model for you. So when the going gets tough keep on going!
