But after working for 8 years at McDonald\u2019s, that dream seemed to be passing him by.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when he found and read the book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dianetics.org\/\"><em>Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health<\/em><\/a> by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. He soon gained the confidence to start a business of his own: a pizza place in his hometown of Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>That was 1975 and after a rough start, he was finally making a profit. Then, on a trip with his wife to her brother in Texas, he discovered there wasn\u2019t a single place to get pizza in the whole of Dallas\/Fort Worth. So, they packed up everything and moved to Texas. And the rest is pizza history.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about Jim Johnson\u2019s secret recipe for success on his episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientology.tv\/watch\/series\/meet-a-scientologist\/mr-jim.html\"><em>Meet a Scientologist<\/em><\/a> on the Scientology Network.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientology.tv\/series\/meet-a-scientologist\/\"><em>Meet a Scientologist<\/em><\/a> is an in-depth look into the lives of individual Scientologists \u2014 an original series airing on the Scientology Network.<\/p>\n<p>Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientology.tv\/network\/scientology-network-launch-special.html\">Mr. David Miscavige<\/a>, Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages.
