yes. many artists, authors, people in the business world etc do. just takes lots of hard work, lots of blessings, a few good connections, and motivation. the ghetto is tough but it helps if one is willing to work hard and if they take advantage of opportunities.

It is either very difficult or impossible (depending on the country and what part of the country). There is a lot of "who you know" involved in getting to the top, that aside:
1) you need to work hard and have ambition.
2) you need to be clever and honest and loving, but not obviously cunning and definitely not deceitful.
3) you need to have an education, preferably a good education, but this isn't essential. Good English and Maths are essential.
4) you need to get some sort of of financial education, even just elementary (maths), aiming eventually to get a degree in accountancy or finance.
5) you need to get a job which handles the money or finances in a company or makes decisions about money.
6) in most companies you'll find the most of the top echelon comes from the finance department, not from engineering or IT or sales or manufactoring or whatever.

Success is not free it is earned. It is one of the only things you cant purchase.
U can get there by demonstrating MOTIVATION, DETERMINATION & ASSIMILATION. A can do attitude goes a long way. Most of all you have to remember nothing easy comes fast. Working hard for what you want is a loooooong road.
Last of all dont burn any bridges and you have to be a team player. Never side or join in cliques.

In exactly the same way that everyone else makes it to the top. They work hard, they believe in themselves, have determination, courage and the desire to succeed. They use truth and good morals as their tools and they take every knock back as a stepping stone to something better. You have to be knocked back to learn and grow so use the experiences wisely and when you make your plan for where you want to be allow room for adaptation and imagination.

Education. Ignorance is the enemy of success- determine that you will succeed and work hard to gain knowledge, apply that knowledge and don't give up or take less than you believe you can be. One of the founding principles of America is that all men are created equal- what you do with that depends on you. (and by the way that belief should apply to ALL men- not just in the U.S.A. - and men includes women, too).

It is absolutely possible, if the talent is there. Look at Jennifer Lopez success, but the most obvious example has to be Elvis Presley!! Now he didn't do too badly....

With hardwork and determination and maybe a little bit of charisma thrown in for good measure.
