How's it going?


Hopefully, you've given some thought to tackling the leftovers from last year, and put a plan into action to explore new opportunities. If any of you think it's too late, think again. In this issue, I want to share a story with you about how it's never too late to start or begin again. Come on, we've got this!


Let's chat!


I found an article online written by Madalsa Singh - Thursday July 26, 2012


It's about the life story of KFC’s Colonel Sanders (Finger Lickin' Good). He had an interesting life and some of his challenges I think most of us can relate to.


For starters, as stated by Madalsa Singh - "when he reached the age of sixty-five, after running a restaurant for several years, Harland Sanders found himself penniless. He started traveling by car to different restaurants and cooked his fried chicken on the spot for restaurant owners. If the owner liked the chicken, they would enter into a handshake agreement to sell the Colonel's chicken. Legend has it that Colonel Sanders heard 1,009 "no"s before he heard his first yes."




We can do it!
We can do it!

So, it's never too late! You can begin again and succeed! Be encouraged, and don't allow fear and past failures to steal YOUR DREAMS! Look at Colonel Sanders! He wanted to partner with someone to sell his chicken and it took 1,009 "no's" before he finally got a YES and finished strong! FYI - Colonel Sanders officially started KFC when he was 40 years old.


Now, let's get it!


Until next time,


Jae ❤️
