Last night in Financial Peace University, Dave mentioned Les Brown.

I immediately remembered one of my all time favorite stories/YouTube clips.

Below is the original email I sent out, make a few minutes today to watch the video.

Make it a great day.

Today’s video is one I think about a lot.  I know it is a little longer than usual, but it is worth watching.

This video is Les Brown’s story of getting into the radio business.  Through telling this story, Les make’s one of my favorite points.  “You’ve got to be hungry” is something that goes through my head at least a couple of times a week.

 

Think about your life and what you really want to accomplish.  Are you hungry to accomplish your goals?  Do you take no for answer?  Would you work at a job for no pay just to get to your long term goal?

 

Want to make more money this year…..You’ve Got to Be Hungry!

Want to become a better father/spouse/friend……You’ve Got to Be Hungry!

Want to learn more…..You’ve Got to Be Hungry!

Want to lose weight…..You’ve Got to Be Hungry!  (Sorry about the bad pun on that one, couldn’t resist).

 

When you are needing a little pick me up, just think of Les’s booming voice in your head.

 

Want to just watch TV instead of picking up a book?  Hear Les….You’ve Got to Be Hungry!

Want to eat a bowl of ice cream before bed?  Les booms…..You’ve Got to Be Hungry!

Want to take it easy today instead of giving your best?  Focus on his voice….You’ve Got to Be Hungry!

 

Think about your goals and what you are hungry to accomplish.   Get started on them today.  If you are hungry, then it can’t wait until tomorrow.
