Out of all my years of living, I can say I have heard of very few success stories of late bloomers succeeding from total loser. Most of the people who succeed late had early glimpses of potential, even if they were screw ups. I have not read many/any stories of someone being a total loser that became a success late in their life.
The question is why?
Colonel Sanders-if I am not mistaken had a business early on, it just wasn't as big as when KFC franchised.
Louise Hay- Although, she started writing at 50 she was a successful model before that, so, that takes away from her story.
Abraham Lincoln- He was a lawyer even though, he was failing. (Ok, maybe this is debatable, as I am told lawyers were a dime a dozen in his day).
Og Mandino- A drunk at 35 was going to kill himself. Turned his life around and the rest was history. Who was Og before he lost himself? He had a stable job, and, was living a good life.
