The DVD that shipped with Success University’s Success Express Issue #2 features two interviews of two world famous success giants: Brian Tracy and Denis Waitley.

Interviewed by another successful young man – Jerry “DRhino” Clark – himself, it is jam-packed with gems of wisdom. (The only regret is somehow, the DVD cannot play on my own laptop and I had to view it on a DVD player.)

Here are a few things and nuggets of personal development wisdom that I picked up as I watched the Brian Tracy interview:

• Brian Tracy started was a high school drop out and started his career as a laborer. (Does anyone have any excuse not succeeding if they do not hold a college or university degree?)
  
• He discovered the magic of personal development when he was around 25 years old and got extremely excited at the vast array of resources like books, tapes, seminars and the huge amount of wisdom, advice and tips he can learn.
  
• He started to set goals and discovered that he achieved results beyond his expectations. Essentially, he modeled after successful people by following some of these success habits:
  • Sleep early and rise early
  • Plan and organize each day
  • Set goals
• Brian Tracy mentioned that he can now sit down and write a 300-page book without reference to anything! All he needs to do is to organize the material. This is the result of his accumulation of knowledge over the years!
  
• Jerry Clark himself mentioned that he had also come to his level of success because he never stopped learning for the past 18 years! And he started by attending Brian’s seminar and reading Brian’s books. (Shouldn’t we do the same and get our hands on these personal development resources?
  
• Brian Tracy now has 300 audio and video learning programs translated to more than 20 languages around the world!!
  
• During an interview of three young millionaires before the age of 30, they were asked how many businesses they had started before they succeeded. After consolidation, the answer was 17! So, Brian Tracy asked if they had failed 16 times and succeeded 1 time?

  Of course, the answer is no! These entrepreneurs learned from the experiences of the past 16 times and therefore succeeded on the 17^{th time!}
  

Reading a back issue of Success Express, a monthly newsletter publication of Success University, I learned a few great leadership tips by Chris Widener.Chris is an internationallyrecognized speaker, author and radio host and a contributing editor to the Jim Rohn One-Year Success Plan.

I finally got to sit down and watch an hour and a half of the world famous Les Brown on DVD that was delivered in the premier copy of Success University’s Monthly Empowerment Series that was delivered to my home.

Les Brown quoted Horace Mann, ‘We should be ashamed to die until we have made some contribution to humankind.”

Wow! That hit me like a hammer on a nail…

Life is truly unpredictable, don’t you think so?  There are so many things that we do not have any control like:

- when we are born

- where we are born

- who we are born to

- when we will die

- where we will die

To me, the real challenge is none of us know how much time we have on this planet to achieve our dreams and goals, apart from what Les Brown said… that most people are not willing to fight for their dreams!

Les also said that we need to detoxify our lives if we truly want to succeed because people don’t achieve their goals as there are too many negative people in their lives. We need to stay away from those who tear us down, criticize us, tell us our limitations because studies showed that if someone tell us ‘you can’t do it’, it takes sixteen people to tell us ‘you can do it’ to neutralize the negative effect!

Thus, we need to listen to tapes on positive things again and again to continue to fight for our dreams.

For example, if you have went on a weight loss program and you stop, you would gain back all the weight and some more.

Another quote that Les mentioned which makes a lot of sense to me is this:

“In order to do something you’ve never done, you got to be someone you’ve never been!”

That was cool…
