We all know Colonel Sanders. He was the founder of KFC and an amazing entrepreneur with undying determination.
He failed 1,009 times before franchising his secret recipe of KFC chickens which makes millions even today. But do you know how hard life had been for him, and how he survived it all? Keep reading to know.
He was a boy in a farmer’s home. His father died when he was just 6. His mother used to goto farm then and he cooked for his siblings. He was learning about meat and cooking since then.
His mother remarried when he was 10 and got widowed by the time he turned 12. She again remarried and he didn’t like his new father so he left from there with his mother’s consent.
Then he tried many different jobs, like working in railroad construction, or selling insurance, practicing as a lawyer and a lot more. He even faked his birth certificate to get into the army when he was just 16. He even lost all his Money in this struggle, but what was left with him was his determination and belief in him.
He started a motel and started working on his secret chicken recipe. Seeing that people liked it, he tried to franchise it. But no one was interested in it. But he had immense belief in his product that he kept denying destiny. And he won.
He franchised it to a restaurant that paid him $0.04 for every chicken sold and it was a hit. People loved his chicken. And, he got into growth mode and expanded rapidly.
But, then he sold his company for around $2 million and worked as a paid ambassador to the company.
