Show Notes
He seems like he was a loner from the start, with parents that did their own thing and left him alone. As such, he didn’t get socialized very well. When the parents sold their ranch, and moved to the city, he was thrust into a community where all the city kids hung out, making him even more of a loner, making him feel quite insignificant.
Needless to say, with that setup, he didn’t do well in school either.
After school, his only options were to work back on the farm or in food processing.
Little did he know, or did he, that if he didn’t make a serious change in his life, he would wind up working in the same job for 40 years, like other high school friends of his.
He probably would have stayed had he a college education to move up in the company. Otherwise, he would have been stuck at chopping chickens forever.
Fortuitously for him, that got him looking around for other opportunities. Curiosity got him to keep looking.
And that got him good at selling: selling his cars, his house, his furniture and anything else just to stay alive.
But he figured it all out in a few years and crushed it. As the editor of Success Magazine coined it, he became the Chicken Chopper to CEO.
