How many of you need a breakthrough? It’s coming. Believe it.

What can you do to get there? OQP is essential. What is OQP? Les Brown said, “Surround yourself with OQP (Only Quality People).”

I want to talk to you today about the quality people I have met. Manny Lopez from Network of Influence has been a key connection. He is a master of connecting people and providing huge value. He knows how to serve his way to success. My connection with Manny has resulted in hearing influential speakers such as Les Brown, Forbes Riley, and Alec Stern.

The legendary Les Brown is an international motivational speaker and author. His new book just came out called:  You’ve Got To Be Hungry:  The Greatness Within To Win. Les has made a huge impact on my life.

Forbes Riley, Award-Winning TV host, Author, Speaker, Entrepreneur. She is inspiring and helps people perfect their pitch.
