Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker with FUN FACTS that lead to some serious thinking.
Did the inventor of Coca-cola get rich? Old"Doc" Pemberton was well known in Atlanta, Ga. for his "patent medicines," which people took to cure a variety of ills. In 1886 he appeared at the local soda fountain with a new drink.
People liked the flavor of the new drink. It was refreshing and could make anyone feel better. Doc went home and began making the Coca-Cola syrup.
Things didn't go as planned. In his first year, Doc only sold 25 gallons of syrup. With no sign of improvement, Doc sold almost all his shares in the business to Asa Griggs Candler, an Atlanta druggist. Asa believed in ADVERTISING and the famous Coca-Cola label began to appear everywhere. Soon the business was a roaring success.
32 years after he bought the business for $289.29, Asa Griggs Candler sold it for $25 MILLION. Are you starting to get the picture?
Most of us have a true sense of business but get discouraged way too quickly. Business is to be thought out and executed in a series of daily habits.
