THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF KFC

The only antidote to procrastination and failure is taking the right action at the right time. Today, I will briefly talk about a man named Colonel Sanders, who, despite his age, took the right action at the right time and built a chain of restaurants.

He once said, "There is no reason to be the richest man in the cemetery. You can't do any business there."

Harland Sanders was born just outside Henryville, Indiana. At age 10, Harland Sanders holds a variety of jobs including:
Farm hand, streetcar conductor, army private in Cuba, blacksmith's helper, railyard fireman, insurance salesman, tire salesman and service station operator for Standard Oil.

Colonel Sanders was 65 years old when he received his first social security cheque 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 some states in the United States 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 'NO' 1009 times before he got his first "YES."

Today, with just this one 'YES', Colonel Hartland Sanders changed the eating habits of the whole world with Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as KFC.
Kentucky Fried Chicken has more than 600 franchised outlets in the United States, Canada and several overseas outlets in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa.

If you want to accomplish great things in 2015, you must take the right action now, not tomorrow. Remember, tomorrow is not in the calendar of champions; only fools have tomorrow in their calendar.

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.

Age is no barrier to success, and so is capital. What is needed is an idea put into action, followed with prosper planning and persistence. A single action can make you be the best in your industry this year. Discover what works and take the appropriate action.

See You At The Top In 2015. #MoreGrace!
