Entrepreneur’s Success Story Goes Viral on LinkedIn

[Transcribed from LinkedIn]

I didn't come from money.

I came from a small pickle factory in southern Ohio.

For 6 years, all I had to eat was pickles.

The kids at school made fun of me because I was different, and I always smelled like dill.

They called me Dilliam, PicklePants, Poor Pickle Boy, the list goes on...

My first job was cleaning toilets with a pickle.

But one day, I had enough.

I saved up all of my pickles and used them to pay for college.

I was promoted to CFO within a year of graduating.

Why? Because I worked my tailpickles off?

No.

Because I am Smarter and More Handsome Than All Of You? (I know it, you know it, the pickles know it.)

No.

Because I worked my tailpickles off.

And if I can do it, you can too.

I'm no one special. I'm just Nick AwesomeSuccess Matthews.

In a world of cucumbers, be a pickle.
