About this listen
In this program, Les Brown takes your attention to another level. You look your challenge straight in the eye and recognize that life didn’t blink. When you take on the goals and dreams that put your signature on the place that you have occupied, it requires the best of you. You can’t go around choosing dreams based on how much stress and strain they will or will not cause. You have to go up in the face of that dream which is your dream and come to grips with the fact that “It’s Hard!” Let’s just recognize that “it’s hard” and make it OK with us. When it’s hard, we’ll just have to do it hard.

In this program, Les Brown reveals one of the great secrets of personal power. There is certain point in time when you know the race has been won even before it’s over. You have crossed over the line and built up such momentum that quitting is no longer an option. In the deepest parts of your consciousness, you have settled the fact that you will not be denied. Touching the finish line will only be a formality.

The only reason anyone with a sound mind would choose to endure in the face of great obstacles is this – It’s Worth It!

Story
In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.
