Yes, you don’t have to tell me you’re a sought-after speaker. Some
time ago we were planning a speaking engagement in Ohio and the two
people who were requested more than any others were Stephen Covey
and Les Brown. They really came after you, so you do have quite a
reputation for helping people.
BROWN^
Thank you.

A lot of our readers have read many books that advocate focus in
th eir career. I know you’ve done several things and you’ve done them
well. Do you advocate going in one direction and not diversifying in
your career?
BROWN^
I think that you have to find one area you want to focus on and as
you develop momentum in that area and reach a certain measure of
succes s, then you can branch off into other areas.
