Yes. That's the whole point of the American dream. To achieve anything we put our minds to.
Benjamin Franklin :D
this answer will probably not last but in my opinion, Gatsby raised himself from nothing in an attempt to better himself to impress the love of his life. though this was not possible due to her ambivalence, yet the act of working to achieve what you desire is the basis of what is needed to achieve the American dream.
Many argue that Gatsby did not achieve the American dream. Despite his wealth and social status, he ultimately failed to win over Daisy's heart and achieve true happiness. His pursuit of wealth and status was ultimately empty and unfulfilling.
"The American dream of rags to riches is a dream for a reason - it is hard to achieve; were everyone to do it, it wouldn't be a dream but would rather be reality."

the American Dream
He showed that the American Dream wasn't possible for everyone.
Lennie and George's dream in "Of Mice and Men" represents the American Dream of owning land, working hard, and achieving success. This dream reflects the widespread belief in upward mobility, self-sufficiency, and the pursuit of a better life in American society. The challenges and obstacles faced by Lennie and George in achieving their dream also mirror the struggles and setbacks many people encounter in pursuing their aspirations.
That would depend on what your dream is
Nothing can help a young man achieve his dream.
