- The beginning: When Les's mom worked for a white family, they would make her clap her hands regularly when she was alone in a different room to ensure she wasn't stealing anything. When Les learned why his mom always had to clap her hands together, he made it his mission to ensure that he would buy her a house one day... And eventually that's exactly what he did.
- Negative thoughts are like weeds. They'll keep coming back. You have to keep at it and have a positive mind.
- Every morning, Les takes the following action:
- Has a verbal (positive) affirmation
- Writes seven things he wants to do that day
- Reads 20-30 pages
- "There is power in pursuit... Set goals beyond your comfort zone."
- Have a perpetual plan of action
- "You're never too old to learn"
- "You're never too young to teach"
- "Don't ever stop raising the bar on yourself."
- There are three kinds of people: Millionaires, Billionaires, and Witnesses
- "You gotta be hungry."
- Thoreau - "Go where there's no path and leave a trail."
- What does Les think immediately before going on stage with 80,000 people in the crowd?
- "More of THE, less of ME."
- "When you wax a floor, you need to strip it first. The same is true with coaching."
- "Cancer Conquerors" -- "I don't have time to die, I've got too much work to do."
- Excellence: Durable, sustainable advantage. "I will not fail." All accomplishments happen in the mind first... And then in practice.
