Colonel Sanders has to exemplify the late bloomer. From odd job to odd job, he was broke at age 65 before he franchised out what is now KFC. 10k+ hours of frying chicken without anything to show for it. His decision to sell on his recipe to restaurant owners changed all that.

Lesson: Master a skill that you can franchise and protect.
