    I grew up in Hialeah, FL and worked a few blocks away from Liberty city where Mr. Les Brown is from. Liberty City is THE most poverty stricken and violent part of S. FL. Even cops don't go in there unless they are related to someone who lives there. Booker T. Washington HS is a real tough school. If Mr. Brown was able to climb out of there and become the man he is today, any one of us can do the same!

    Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

      Having an investment advisor is the best way to go. Based on a direct encounter with a CFP named Kate Elizabeth Amdall, I can say with certainty that their skills are excellent. She helped raise over $580,000 in 18 months from an initially stagnant portfolio of $150,000

    I'm from Miami and lived in the streets struggling with addiction for over 35 years now. I heard of the service's in N.Y. City and made my way up there because I demanded a better quality of life for myself. I put myself into residential treatment and have been clean and sober for over 19 months now. Yesterday I signed a lease for my own apartment and move in Feb the 1st. I've been watching Impact Theory for 16 months now and has helped me with my recovery more than Tom will ever know. I'm writing a book on my life that I'm hoping he will read some day. If there is anyone out there strugling with addiction trying to get their life together. I want you to know that if I can do it, you can do it! Change your mindset and never give up!!

    Les Brown made a trip from wherever he was to Miami, on a request from my teenage daughter. When he enquired about payment she responded honestly that the church group that she represented had no funds and they could only pay for his accommodations, he was so impressed by the honesty and confidence of this young lady that he saw reason to donate his time for free, even without ever personally meeting anyone in the congregation. That is what I call giving back. Much thanx to this enduring spirit of charity.

      @♜ Pinned by Tom Bilyeu Maybe you were asking what parasitic cleanser Is good. Wormwood from Hannah Kroeger, also, W.W. from Pure Herbs. Acai Berry Cleanse is a good cleanser without leaving the body feeling naked, as some laxatives do. But only take one capsule every other day until a soft consistency is achieved, then take one capsule every two days for 30 days. Along with those two, it's very impoortant to take a good immune builder. Goldenseal Root is one of the best. Some brands claim it's the root and are a dark yellow, almost green in color. That is goldenseal root. The bright yellow capsules are the flowers and are not effective. Take one capsule of the goldenseal for each 50 lb of body weight, twice a day. Take one capsule of the parasitic for every 100 lb of body weight, once a day. Take the cleanser once every other day, then once every other day for 30 days. Let the body rest for a month, and repeat.

I decided I wasn't gonna come back to work the following morning. When I walked back to my desk, I went on YT and searched, "how to quit your job with courage." and I came across his video, "have courage". I downloaded it on my phone and listened to it on my way home. Long story short, I didn't quit. And this job turned out to be one of the most beautiful things I have done.

      You could at least start planning and gather a team of people in television that he has inspired start scanning his fanbase the comment section is a good start..
      And even making a low budget production that you owned the royalties to and possibly sale it to a bigger Production team to really make it come to life or something along those lines??..
      I'd pay to go see it!!

Les Brown gave me the right heart and mind that's allowing me to move closer to my ultimate goal on a daily basis. Most people don't realize that over 17,000 millionaires are made each and every day. So the question is: are you going to be in that number?

      Agreed. He’s a keen listener and interviewer. I particularly like when he circled back and closed the loop on the question posted to Les about the about 2-3 books he recommends. Staying in control of the conversation without being domineering is a major🔑. Notes taken. 📝

      Exactly, he actually listens and counters as opposed to going from a list of predetermined questions. Impressive.

    What do you seek? Fulment ....Love....respect...
    Love yourself first ❤
    I keep telling myself, no one can walk my walk. No one can go where i am going but me. Focus and drown out the noise.
    Yesterday was the second time i recognized someone being prejudice to me. Where i live it is not as previlant as some countries. My smile dropped. But today i am telling myself...keep your head high,smile and FOCUS!

    Les shines from the inside, love that laugh of his 😂 and his realness and bravery to be genuine. What a treasure and special man Les is, so beautiful as he guides others to discover that greatness in themselves.

    This man's speeches gave me strength when I had none. He also has great charisma and humor,not no mention he always looks on the bright side,something critical that all of you speakers need to work on.
    People,you can truly learn a thing or 2 from this man.
    Edit: after listening to the podcast I can say that this has to be listened to more than once to get the full benefit. There are so many little things that people will go over and not pay attention,but its those little things that he says will have the biggest impact on your mind.
