My Sirius XM Wealthy Ways Show guest this weekend is Les Brown.

Les is considered to be the greatest motivational speaker on the planet today. He developed himself by refusing to accept the limitations others attempted to place on him.

From his birth on a floor of an abandoned building, to being adopted by a single woman along with his twin brother Wesley, Les overcame his learning difficulties to become a popular radio disc jockey.

He went from radio to become a community activist to an elected civil servant in the Ohio House of Representatives.

Les went from giving speeches on the State Capital floor to speaking on stages all around the world for Fortune 100 companies.

Although Les has never gone to college, he has presented at Harvard and Oxford Universities!

Les says that “Life is a fight for territory. When you stop fighting for what you want, what you don’t want takes over.”

He has been inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame, named "One of the Outstanding Five Speakers In The World" and received The Golden Gavel award from Toastmasters International.

He has had syndicated radio shows and a nationally syndicated daily television show. He’s also the Emmy Award-winning host of a number of PBS Specials.

Additionally, Les is the best-selling author of the books, Live Your Dreams and It’s Not Over Until You Win.

His newest book, entitled, You've Got To Be Hungry, is the title of one of his most popular messages.

In this interview, Les shares 9 powerful tips to help you grow your wealth and success, taken from his new book.

1. This is a golden age for those who are positive thinkers because of the power of technology.
   
   
2. In uncommon times, there will be uncommon opportunities.
   
   
3. You must work on your mindset.
   
   
4. If a person is not willing to learn, no one can help them. And a person who is willing to learn, no one can stop them!
   
   
5. Knowledge is the new currency and those who can give impactful knowledge can create income.
   
   
6. Most people focus on the opposition rather than the opportunities.
   
   
7. This is the time for people to think new thoughts about their futures and be willing to move on with their dreams.
   
   
8. Re-examine your life – for the unexamined life is not worth living.
   
   
9. Focus on what’s possible and not just probable.

Les Brown's Winning Mindset Principles

A Lesson In Excellence

I am truly amazed by the overwhelming response to my speaking engagements for Black History Month this year.

Reflecting on my remarkable experiences of last year, especially being honored as the first African American man to receive the prestigious Cavett Award in the speaking industry, I can't help but acknowledge the historical significance.

In my Black History messages, I emphasize the profound influence of my parents, who instilled in me the importance of relentlessly pursuing excellence. Their wisdom echoes the sentiment of Dr. King, urging us to approach our endeavors with the same dedication and passion that great artists applied to their crafts.

He was right when he said, “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets like Michelangelo painted, Beethoven composed music and Shakespeare wrote poetry.”

Dr. King's words inspire us to embody excellence in every role, reinforcing the idea that regardless of our profession, we should strive for greatness daily.

My parents' guidance resonates with truth – pursue excellence, for it consistently yields the most rewarding dividends.

If you would like for me to speak at your organization's Black History Month events, please give me a call at (202) 723-8863.
