The document describes the life of Colonel Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken. It outlines his many failures and hardships prior to founding KFC, including losing his father at a young age, quitting school at 16, losing multiple jobs, and failing in other business ventures. At age 65, ready to commit suicide after retiring, he instead decided to focus on his cooking and went door-to-door selling fried chicken. This became hugely successful, and by age 88 he had become a billionaire as the founder of KFC. The document emphasizes that with passion, determination and never giving up, even past perceived failures, one can achieve great success later in life.

History Of The Entrepreneur

5.  On the 1st day of retirement he received a cheque
from the Government for $105.
 He felt that the Government was saying that he
couldn’t provide for himself.
 He decided to commit suicide, it wasn’t worth living
anymore; he had failed so much.
History Of The Entrepreneur

6.  He sat under a tree writing his will, but instead, he wrote what he would have accomplished with
his life.
History Of The Entrepreneur
 He realised there was much more that he hadn’t
done. There was one thing he could do better than
anyone he knew. And that was how to cook.

7.  So he borrowed $87 against his cheque and bought
and fried up some chicken using his recipe, and went
door to door to sell them to his neighbours in
Kentucky.
 Remember at age 65 he was ready to commit suicide.
But at age 88 Colonel Sanders, founder of Kentucky
Fried Chicken (KFC) Empire was a billionaire.

8. LEARNINGS
 I am inspired by him as he is a person who never gave up in his life even though he didn’t achieve
anything big for a long time.
 The way he stood up at the age of 65, explains that with complete hard work and efficiency, one
can even attain impossible things in life.
 If a person wants to become big in life, then its really important to dream big as well.

9. LEARNINGS
 He proved that there is no age and experience that counts in any success, its just mere sincerity
and effort to gain whatever one desires of.
 I know now that even if failures comes at one’s door many times, opportunity would also knock
one day. So, one should wait for the right time and keep on moving in life, until and unless one
gets it for lifetime.
