MOR FOR LES

In the words of Les Brown, one of the speakers at the

National Achievers Congress in Singapore, “In order to make dreams reality, you

need to have an achievement mindset: ‘Number one, look at average people and don’t

do what they do. And number two, look at people

who are independently wealthy and do everything

they do.’”

His speech resonated throughout the three-day

Congress, a multi-speaker event that featured a panel of

International speakers around the world and industry-leading local

personalities.

Les shared his insights with delegates on what the

speakers did to be successful, the lessons

they learned, and as Les Brown said, so we can model and apply their

strategies to one’s life and business.

“You’re different. You’re here because there is something that’s in you that says I can do more. There’s something that’s in you that you want to express,” Les Brown declared to over 2,000 delegates at the end of the second day of the Congress.

As one of the world’s most renowned speakers, his tenacity, belief in his ability, and choice to take action created opportunities for him to rise from the position of sanitation worker to broadcast station manager, political commentator and multi-term state representative in Ohio.

He has spoken to audiences as large as 80,000 from Denmark to Dubai, Canada to the

Caribbean, earning accolades such as the National Speakers Association prestigious Golden Gavel Award for achievement and leadership in communication and one of

Toastmasters International’s Top Five Outstanding Speakers Worldwide, and now

appearing “live” on stage at the Singapore Expo.

Les Brown knows the path to achieving your dream is never clearly marked out and the road is never smooth. He shared his life experiences of being abandoned at birth and adopted by a domestic worker, about school and how he was labeled “educable, mentally retarded.”

He spoke about how he pursued his dreams of becoming a radio disk

jockey, of being able to take care of his adoptive mother

and having achieved all that and more; in his

words, “not to impress you, but to impress upon you the importance of having

an achievement mindset.”

He added, “If information can make your dreams a reality, everybody would

be skinny rich and happy.”

And Les Brown did impress upon the audience that there were dreams and

abilities and talents that everyone has in them. That

if one is not willing to settle, not willing to allow

oneself not to pursue it and put some effort

towards making that dream become real.

His advice to the audience? “If you’re serious about success; you need to start taking action today. If you’re waiting for things to be perfect, you’ll wait forever and nothing will ever get done.

“The way to achieve is to do what you can, where you are, with what you have. It’s easy to think up excuses for not taking action. ‘If only I had more hours in the day. If only I had a better job. If only I could meet the right person.’

But excuses won’t bring you anything of value. You’ve got to change your ‘if only’ into an ‘I

will.’ ‘I will make better use of my time. I will

work on improving my career. I will create and

nurture my relationships.’

“If you need help, get help. If you need advice, find the people who will

guide you to your dreams.”
