The Subject line is a statement from Les Brown during my
interview with him.

It struck me as profound. I have been looking into what has
changed that Les felt what took him 20 years to do he would be
able to accomplish is the next 18 months.

$52 Million in 18 months, is it possible? We will be exploring
that in the next few issues.

Here is an excerpt from the interview I did with Les Brown I
thought you would appreciate.

Les Brown: As entrepreneurs, there are five things that are
indispensable for making it in the global economy:

1. Is your mindset.

I cannot tell you how important that is that you work on that
on a regular basis. Your mindset is crucial when you are in
business. And just to deal with the emotional, stressful,
unpredictable, volatile environment that you just don't know
what going to happen from one minute to the next.

Bro Bedford: Uh hum!

Les Brown: There are many people between you and the money and
people you have to depend upon. I used to be insulted, when I
would hear years ago, white people, when they were asked about
why don't you have blacks working and they would say well send
me some that are qualified and want to work. I used to be
insulted by that, now, you ask me (laughter) aren't you going
to hire some brothers and sisters, send me some who are
qualified and who want to work. I'm here to tell you, it's
amazing how people just want a paycheck. They don't want to
work.

In the twenty years I've been doing this, I've earned over just
over $52 million dollars. That's crumbs! Had I not been
narrow in my thinking; I should have selected people, not based
upon their paint job to formulate my team. I should have
selected them based upon their competence and their being in
the business

Bro Bedford: Uh hum!

Les Brown: and partnering with me and growing with me because
I out grew the team I had for a long time. And now at this
stage in my life, I'm an old man now, I'm sixty-three. The
fact that I can do a 140 push-ups non-stop does not erase the
fact that I'm old now. I forget that because of my energy and
because of what I'm doing now. I'm still excited about what
I'm doing because this is not work. The only part that's work
is getting ready to go to the airport.

That's what I charge them for. The speech is free, I charge
them $25K to go through the airport and get another prostate
examination. That's work I charge them for. (Laughter)....
