Summary

What’s really holding you back from going after the life you were meant to live? In this episode, the legendary speaker Les Brown shares the mindset that transformed him from a child labeled “educable mentally retarded” to a voice inspiring millions. We talk about how to shift your belief system, speak with power, and take the kind of action that transforms your life. Tune in to learn how to become the kind of person who acts in spite of fear and never gives up on the life you’re meant for. In This Episode, You Will Learn Why your past does not define your future UNLESS you allow it to. How to use your VOICE to inspire, persuade, and connect. STRATEGIES to overcome labels and limitations. Daily habits to STRENGTHEN your resilience and purpose. Why it's never too late to REINVENT yourself and CHASE your dream.
