Success Story Of KFC

                                Harland David Sanders (Colonel Sanders )

If you’re one of those people who uses the excuse, “I’m too old, there’s no way I can be successful anymore.” Think again. It’s never too late for success.

A great example of this would be, Colonel Sanders. If you’re not familiar who this guy is, he’s just the founder of the ever famous Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). One of the biggest fast food corporations worldwide.

Though, it wasn’t an instant success. Colonel Harland Sanders started his dream at 65 years old. For most, this would be the time to retire and enjoy the remaining years of their lives. However, Colonel Sanders turned this the other way around.

After getting his retirement benefits, he used his first social security check, amounting to one hundred and five dollars, to start a business (once again) — the start of his journey. Most people would complain after receiving this amount. Not him, though. He believed that restaurant owners would love his original fried chicken recipe and he’d get a small percentage once the sales increase.

It wasn’t an easy job. He drove around Kentucky, knocking on every door, sleeping inside his car, and to look formal, he always wore his signature white suit.

Even though KFC is very famous now, do you know how many times people ignored his offer and said, “NO?” Only 1,009 times, but that didn’t stop him until he got a “Yes!”
