An incredible inspiration to all of us.

Shelly Brady paints a verbal picture of a man who wouldn’t quit. She does it with a positive and provocative style. Her focus is on instilling the lessons she learned from Bill Porter. Ella shelly says, “Bill has shown me that dreams have a way of coming true if we stay focused on the path, no matter what obstacles we face.”

The fact that a man with cerebral palsy could become a door-to-door salesperson and eventually have over 500 loyal customers is a powerful point of inspiration. Shelly goes further to discover the keys within the man that made him a winner. She quotes Bill: “It doesn’t stop me from achieving what I set my mind to…”

Bill’s mantra reflects his positive outlook. Shelly reveals: “…a mantra, Bill repeats over and over to himself: “The next customer will say yes, the next customer will say yes.” Eventually, Bill’s believers will all say “yes.”

“Eventually, he became the top-selling Watkins vendor in the entire Northwest, a position he continues to hold today.” Such comments echo the resilience and determination in the hearts of readers. That’s why Shelly tells Bill’s story.

“Sheer determination” could have been a subtitle for Shelly’s book. She describes Bill’s daily practices: “Every day, Bill would knock on doors for eight hours, walking seven to ten miles, rain or shine. He would knock on about a hundred houses a day, and if he was lucky, one in ten I would. buy something.” Amazing!
