Chance Happens

I can’t tell the story in only 500 characters but the gist is: I went to college, I randomly thought of changing majors because I was struggling in math, when I got out of my class the nursing office was across the hall, I started speaking to the secretary, found out it was strictly nursing and I wasn’t really interested, but she was very nice, and we spoke for about 10 minutes, then she mentioned to me that her husband owns a distribution company and he’s looking for some solid guys, I told her I WASN’T interested very politely, but we continued to talk, she persisted and gave me his number, and persisted more and i finally gave in and gave my number, when i left the office i threw the number she gave me in the garbage, 4 days later her husband contacted me. I immediately liked him because he had a Scottish accent, but also very nice. I was swamped with work, fraternity stuff, school work, g’f, fire dept etc. I told him i wasn’t interested, and he responded with he might not have time either but he’ll squeeze me in and he’ll come to me. So we set the meeting, I instantly loved his business plan. I wanted to meet his partners, he told me Thursday but its invitation only. I told him I wont get into business unless its with my brother so invite him. and vauched. My brother was 24 at the time, struggling miserably to get ahead. I DRAGGED him to the meeting. Its was the last time I ever saw him NOT excited. After that meeting I wasnt interested any more i had a lot of my plate, but he jumped in, 4 yrs later, He’s about to be married to his senior partners daughter on Sunday, His business is tremendously successful gross approx 150k-200k, partners have flown him around the country to speak to other distributors on how he was so successful and he makes his lifestyle. and to think, I threw that guy’s number out.
