I've noticed that the most successful people are usually the ones who have put in the blood, sweat and tears and, most of the time...they've failed the most too.
Australian billionaire retail king Gerry Harvey once said, "You haven't been in business until you've been to the brink, looked over the edge, and come back again."
And as you know, this not only applies to business, but life in general.
So if you're facing obstacles and challenges in life or business right now, just know that the most successful people have most probably gone through what you've gone through and have ended up on the other side - alive, well, and better off.
The founder of KFC was bitter about a measly $105 social security cheque he received after his restaurant failed, so he decided to take matters into his own hands. He thought his fried chicken recipe was finger-lickin'-good and that if he could get restaurants to use the recipe he could take a cut of the profits in terms of royalties.
So recipe in hand, the 65 year old went knocking on restaurant doors, driving around the US sleeping in his car, wearing is signature white suit/black tie in an attempt to sell his secret recipe. The school dropout knocked on 1009 doors before he finally won over his first customer. The rest of course, is his-story.
How's your-story going?
Take note: 65 years old, 1009 doors, school dropout. All the makings of a success ....
