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.
\nHe 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.
\nHe 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.
\nWhat he wanted in return was for the restaurant owners to pay him a small percentage on the pieces of chicken sold.
\nHe got rejections after rejections, but did not give up. In fact, he got over 1000 rejections.\u00a0He got 1009 no\u2019s before he got his first yes.
\nWith that one success Colonel Hartland Sanders changed the eating habits of the whole world with Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as KFC.
\nHow 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.
\nAge is no barrier to success, and so is capital. What is needed is an idea put into action, followed with proper planning and persistency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
