he had to take care of his younger brother and sister. So at the age of 16, he
left his school. After the second marriage of his mother, his step father’s bad behavior forced him to left his
house. Then within one year of time period he was fired from 4 companies. After
that in 1906 he went to his uncle’s house and stayed there for some days.

street cars and so he got a job of a conductor through his uncle’s preference. At

credit cards to tyres of different cars, he tried many different small
businesses but not for a single time he was succeeded. In the 1929 he went to Corbin and opened a gas station.
Along with that gas station, he open his own small stall and started to sell there
some new kind of fried chicken made by his own unique recipe. People started to
love his fried chicken. The governor of Kentucky loved his fried chicken so
much that he rewarded Harland with colonel designation.

time in his life, he decided to increase his restaurant business.
management from Cornell university. But here again failure hit him in life. Due
to construction of a highway, he had to close his restaurant as per the government’s order.

small cafe. At the age of 65 when he retired from that cafe, only a 105 dollars
check was given to him. Which was just a few months expenditure for any person
at that time. He was mentally completely broken down and attempted to suicide
for several times.
Although he was failed in every aspects of his
life, but he never lose his faith on his unique recipe. The only unique recipe
that inspired him to fight for success even at the age of 65.
He went off with his unique recipe and a
pressure cooker to do marketing of his unique recipe. He went to different restaurants and told them about his unique fried chicken, but everyone rejected
him.
After being rejected from 1009 restaurants, finally
one restaurant owner decided to give him a chance. And from that day onward he
was never ever rejected.
Although all his life he was a failure, but his
faith and believe in his unique recipe made him overcome all those struggles
and finally helped him to reach to the peak of success.
He had only 2 rules in his life
Rule 1: Try to do everything that is possible
by you
Rule 2: Try to give your best in everything.
Because he believed, that is the only way to
achieve something bigger in life. Eventually his unique recipe started to
spread his identity and kingdom in different countries.
At the age of 88 he became a millionaire.
