*THE BILLIONAIRE WHO SOLD HIS FORTUNE FOR $800:*
Ronald Gerald Wayne (aka Ron Wayne)!
This is the co-founder of Apple that many of us don't know about.
On April 2nd, 1976, Wayne incorporated Apple together with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
Just 12 days after, Ron Wayne didn't see a future for the company so sold his 10% shares in Apple for $800.
Unfortunately for him, Apple thrived and today, 40 years later, had he stayed, his 10% would have been worth $75B!
Today, at age 80, Wayne lives on his Social Security checks while his friends left fortunes for their grandkids.
In the Apple story, Ron Wayne is the man who won the lottery but lost the ticket.
But my friend, this could be ME or YOU. We loose out on opportunities all the time!
Sometimes, life beats us so hard that the only reasonable thing to do is to QUIT an amazing opportunity such that you don't even see the 40 Years Future.
But Rev. Richard Whitcomb whom I took this story from said, the process might be painful but quitting will not make it perfect.
Don't give up because you don't see where you're going.
Don't give up because you don't see how far you've come.
You have to go through the process when your faith is tested and eventually you'll make progress!
In summary:
DON'T GIVE UP!
DON'T GIVE UP!
DON'T GIVE UP!
Just keep going!
