Started From The Bottom, Now I’m Here
Submitted by: Will Williams
Auburn, AlabamaI started with a troubled past and even went to prison for the mistakes I made. After I got out I knew life had so much more for me but I didn't know how I was going to get it.
After getting out of prison in 2004 it wasn’t until a friend gave me a copy of the book The Secret and told me to watch the movie that my life really started to change.
I started going to school for business and then I got a job as a lead cook for a government company. Well the job laid everyone off and I was washing dishes at another job for a few weeks and I got a call to come to work at a medical center and I would come on as a cook. I knew this was a blessing but I was still unsure if I should take the job. Something told me to take the job and in just two weeks I was promoted to a manager. This changed my life because just six months later I was running my own store and food department in Austin TX.
I kept reading The Secret again and going to sleep saying that I was going to be a chief of another store and then I was told that a job came open in Tuskegee Al to be a Chief and they wanted me to move there and take on the job that three others failed before I got there. I told my manager that I would take the job and I would not fail and that I would make the place the best it’s ever been and I’ve been there seven months now and people tell me all the time it’s the best they have ever seen it.
My regional manager told my whole region that my store is the best he has ever seen the place and he was also told his boss that I was up and coming. I have been so blessed by the using this gift from God and I know The Secret has helped me change my life and I feel now that I will become a regional manager and keep moving upward in my life. I know I will get store of the year and will attract wealth to me in a way that nobody will believe who hasn’t read The Secret.
I just want to thank you and I want you to share my story because I know it will help someone. I came from nothing and now I’m living a life I could only dream about in prison.
