Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host Sean Croxton of Sean Croxton.com.

0:37.0

Happy Tuesday to you. Today's featured speaker is Les Brown. He's back with another one.

0:43.0

And I probably could have picked five or six different quotes from this particular talk.

0:47.0

But I really like the one you have something special. You have greatness within you because it's so true.

0:53.0

And Les talks about the people who we surround ourselves with. This is something I learned maybe five or six years ago.

0:59.0

I read a quote somewhere that said, your income is the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

1:05.0

And I was like, wow, that's so true. And made some changes. Got rid of the toxic people and brought in the nourishing people and spent more time with them.

1:13.0

And my life has completely changed. And I hope that you can do the same and check out Les and hear him tell it. Here's Les.

2:47.0

You want to raise the bar on yourself. Most people won't do that. See, most people engage in low-life living, low-risk living.
