The journey to residual income can be fraught with failure, unfairness, and things in life that mercilessly try and keep us from being great. Let me tell you the inspirational story of David and how he finally came to greatness.
David was born on September 9, 1890 in Henryville, Indiana. He was the oldest of three. His dad was a butcher. He died when David was five years old. His mom had to work long hours and David was forced to take care of his younger siblings. When his mom remarried in 1902 at the age of 12 David didn’t get along with his step-father so he quit school in the 7th grade and was on his own. At 16 he faked his age and went into the Army. He was discharged a year later.
He married at 19 and had a son. His son died of infected tonsils when he was an infant. David wen to work on the railroad and was fired for brawling with co-workers. He studied law by correspondence and had legal career ended rather abruptly when he had a brawl in the courtroom with his own client. He was forced to move back in with his mother and he got a job as a cook. He became an insurance salesman and was fired for insubordination. Another company hired David. He earned enough money to start a ferryboat company. He cashed in his shares at the ferryboat company and started a lamp manufacturing company that went out of business.
He moved for Kentucky and got a job selling Michelin Tires. He lost that job when the store closed. In 1924 he by chance met the General Manager of Standard Oil. He asked David to run a small gas station in Kentucky. It went out of business because of the Great Depression a few years later. Standard Oil offered him a gas station rent-free for a percentage of sales. David started serving food at the gas station and a local critic gave it some local acclaim. This lasted for nine years until it burned to the ground. David had it rebuilt into a 140-seat restaurant. Two year later the U.S. entered World War Two and the tourism business dried up. He was forced to close and work as an assistant restaurant manager.
Ten years later he tried franchising his restaurant idea to a guy in Utah. There sales tripled on one idea, chicken. See that success several other restaurants also started franchising. They paid him 0.04 cents a chicken. This was not enough to sustain him and his new wife. He was now 65 and he hit the road. Often sleeping in his care he would go to a restaurant, cook them some chicken, and if they liked it he would negotiate franchise rights. At age 74 he sold the rights to Kentucky Fried Chicken for two million dollars, about fifteen million in today’s money. He retained Canadian rights and served as ambassador for Kentucky Fried Chicken until a month before he died at age 90.
The path to Colonel Harlan David Sanders success was a long and tumultuous one. The path to making money with residual income can also be long and tumultuous but if we never give up, it can come at any time. It can even come when we are in our 60’s or 70’s.
