FINGER LICKIN’ GOOD

He was 65 years old when he received his first social
security check of $99. He was broke, and owned a small
house and a beat up car. He made a decision that he has
got to change. The only idea he had was a chicken
recipe, which his friends liked. With that idea in
mind, he took massive action. He left his home in
Kentucky and traveled to many states in the US to sell
his idea. He told the restaurant owners that he had a
chicken recipe that people liked and he was giving it
to them for free. What he wanted in return was for the
restaurant owners to pay him a small percentage on the
pieces of chicken sold. He got rejections after
rejections, but did not give up. In fact, he got over
1000 rejections. He got 1009 no’s before he got his
first yes.

With that one success Colonel Harland Sanders changed
the eating habits of the whole world with Kentucky
Fried Chicken.


SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

Age is no barrier to success, and so is capital. What
is needed is an idea put into action, followed with
proper planning and persistency. How many of us will
keep knocking on doors when we have received 1000
rejections? I presume not many! This is why there are
not many successes like Colonel Sanders.

Kathy, thank you for bringing up a great man.  I have always admired Mr. Sanders.  What gumption this man had!  He will always be someone to look up too.  What a walk in faith!
