Well, there are people who managed to use the street smarts in order to make millions. One of those people is Jake Tyson. At 21, Jake was involved in a motorcycle accident that seriously affected his health. Before the accident, he worked as a carpenter. The health problems created by the accident didn’t allow him to perform any physical work, so Jake Tyson decided to take a break and focus on one of his older dreams: to create an improved type of hammer.

Once he created the prototype, he used the $50,000 obtained as accident compensation in order to produce the famous goose-necked Maxistrike hammer. At 35, Jake Tyson runs a multi-million tool dollar company, enjoying the fruits of his creativity. Although it seems uncommon making millions without any special knowledge or courses, it is possible; you only need a strike of inspiration and the entire world could be on your feet!
