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.

1. MOR FOR LES

2. 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.‟”

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. “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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.”

9. 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.”

10. He added, “If information
can make your dreams a
reality, everybody would
be skinny rich and
happy.”

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. “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.‟

14. 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.‟

15. “If you need help, get
help. If you need
advice, find the people
who will guide you to
your dreams.”
