George Foreman is someone that most people think of as a "lucky" guy. He made it as a boxer, and spent it all, then he made it again as a boxer and spent it all. By his own admission he never liked boxing, he liked helping people. George Foreman was also a minister, and it was during his time as a minister that he spent his boxing fortunes.
When George was approached with the Lean Mean Grilling Machine, he took that to the mat. It is an excellent lesson in rebuilding for both people and business.
