In his book God in My Corner, former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman describes an instance in which he receives a call from Nike to be in a commercial. He had never been in a commercial, but he was willing to try something different.
Foreman did such a great job in the Nike commercial that he received an invitation to do a commercial for McDonald’s, which led to an invitation from Doritos, which led to an invitation from Oscar Mayer Wiener, which led to an invitation from Kentucky Fried Chicken, which led to an invitation from Motel 6, which led to an invitation from Meineke Car Care, which led to an invitation from Casual Male Big and Tall clothes, which led to the George Foreman Grill, which became a $137 million deal!
But it all started because George Foreman was willing to try something different. Because he tried something different, he opened a door for new possibilities for his life.
If you want to go where you’ve never been or see what you’ve never seen, try something different.
