Age is just a number!!!
He was 65 years old. Had a fried chicken recipe. And a $105 monthly pension.
Nobody believed in him.
So he knocked on more than a thousand doors.
Until someone finally said yes. 🍗💸
His name was Colonel Sanders.
And his life? A series of failures:
❌ Kicked out of the military
❌ Fired as an insurance salesman
❌ A failed gas station business
❌ A broken marriage
At 65, he was broke, gray-haired, and nearly forgotten.
The only thing he had? A skillet, a car, and a chicken recipe with 11 secret herbs and spices.
With nothing to lose, he hit the road.
Restaurant to restaurant, begging owners to try his fried chicken.
🚗 Rejected over 1,000 times.
“Too expensive.”
“No demand.”
“We already have a supplier.”
He slept in his car. Went hungry. Nearly gave up.
But his stubbornness was stronger than his exhaustion.
And when one small diner finally gave him a chance...
The customers loved it. Word spread. And soon — franchises were opening, one by one. 🔥
By age 73, he had hundreds of restaurants.
His bearded face with glasses became the global symbol of fried chicken.
No culinary school. No business degree. Just a man who refused to die forgotten.
And proved this:
As long as you’re alive, it’s never too late to start over. ⏳💪
"You can lose everything in life... except the will to start again from the place no one believes you can rise."
– Colonel Sanders
