The Rock went through a rough period of struggle during his childhood, but rose from adversity. After a shaky start to his WWE career, The Rock flipped the script and became one of the biggest stars in wrestling through his sheer hard work.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Connection With Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock’s XFL That Went Unnoticed for Years

The same holds true for his Hollywood career. Initially, his acting career proved to be hit-and-miss, but he kept his head down and kept going. Today, he is not only one of Hollywood’s most popular names but the highest paid actor too. Moreover, apart from acting, he is a successful businessman as well. The Rock runs his own Tequila brand, ‘Teremana‘ which has had massive sales in just over a year. The brand stands at an astounding net worth of $3.5 billion.

The Great One also owns Zoa, an energy drink brand, and XFL, a football league that will launch soon. He manages all these businesses and more, along with a successful acting career. All this is possible due to his discipline in each of his ventures.

The person who can match up to The Rock to put in a shift is the Austrian Oak, Arnold. The man who won the Mr. Universe title at the age of 20, has repeatedly touted his focus and hard work as the reasons for his success and has asked others to do the same. Arnold has said that if one wants to win, there is no way around it other than working really hard.

Although being an athlete can make you popular but in this case, it was Arnold who put bodybuilding on the map, due to his astonishing success. His bodybuilding career saw him win seven Mr. Olympia titles and many more accolades. His chiseled physique and success made him a popular name. After this, he decided to give Hollywood a try. A highly competitive field where thousands try their luck every year.

Yet, it was Schwarzenegger’s work ethic that put him on the Hollywood map as one of the best action heroes of all time. His role in the Terminator franchise gave him worldwide fame. Terminator 2 became one of the highest grossing movies of all time, as the bodybuilding icon revolutionized action movies in Hollywood. He also had success as a politician and became the Governor of California serving between 2003-2011.

His success came despite him facing challenges like moving to an entirely new country and culture at 21 and his lack of fluency in the English language. He achieved all this through hard work and an idea to live his best life.

Seeing what DJ and Schwarzenegger have achieved through their hard work, it is no surprise that they always tell their fans to follow suit and that there is no other way to success. They continue to be an inspiration to many and their success is a template for people who want to achieve even their wildest dreams.
