In 1975, Colonel Harland Sanders visited a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise in Little Rock. Sanders began selling fried chicken during the Great Depression and founded KFC in 1952. (Digitized by the Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History) https://katv.com/ | KATV Channel 7

Colonel Harland Sanders didn’t start KFC until he was 65. Before that? He was fired, broke, and rejected over 1,000 times trying to sell his chicken recipe. Sleeping in his car, going door to door—most would’ve quit. But not the Colonel. He kept knocking. Kept believing. And finally, someone said yes. That “yes” built a global empire. Sanders didn’t find success early… he *earned* it late—through grit, rejection, and relentless drive. It’s never too late to start. #HarlandSanders #history #motiv
