Unfortunately I don't have anything close to a source handy, but from what I recall, it turns out many of the successful immigrant businessmen just happened to be businessmen back in their home country. Or bankers, or doctors, or lawyers. So while it's true many of these success stories immigrated to the US with no money and no English, they did have professional experience & skills.

A lot of them also went straight from the army (forced enrollment) with no skills or higher education to coming over in their early 20s and then found their way in business without needing specialized formal education to be successful (doctors / lawyers, etc.). Lots of food related business, selling clothes, contracting work, etc..
