How A Legendary Comedian Built A Legendary Business

George Wallace

George Wallace is one of the best-known comedians in the America.

He was named the Best Male Standup Comedian by the American Comedy Award.  He was formerly known as “The New Mr. Las Vegas” for his 10-year stint as one of the most popular show in Las Vegas.

George Wallace is a frequent guest on national television shows and serves as comic relief on numerous morning radio programs, including The Tom Joyner Morning Show and The Steve Harvey Radio Show. He has an HBO Special and was the opening act for numerous national artists including Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson and George Benson.

In 2004, Wallace appeared as the headlining star of his own show at The Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas for a 30 day run. Sin City showed its admiration by extending Wallace’s contract indefinitely and nicknaming him “The New Mr. Vegas.” Unlike any other comedy show in Las Vegas, Wallace gave away a number of prizes every night including CDs, DVDs, diamond necklaces, dinner at prestigious restaurants, gourmet chocolates, tropical cruises and even a new car. He celebrated his 10th Anniversary headlining at the Flamingo in March 2014, announced he was closing the show to head back out on the road.

Wallace regularly performs in comedy clubs across the country and is an ambassador for the United States government, performing at military bases all over the world.

He has a new movie hitting theaters this week with Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones called, Just Getting Started.

He’s also the author of a new book called, LAFF IT OFF, which is a tome of life wisdom, wit, insight and humor.

In this powerful, funny interview for my SiriusXM Radio Show, George shares some of the secrets to helping people to grow and own their own businesses:

  • Grow yourself and you will grow your future!  Always work on yourself!
  • Work ethic is critical to sustained success. Anyone can luck up on success, but it takes work to maintain and sustain it.
  • To be successful in business you must market and sell your ideas.
  • People thought The Flamingo Hotel was doing the marketing to make George’s Show #1 in Las Vegas, but actually, George rented the room from them and owned the show and did all the marketing himself!
  • Work on your belief system and commit yourself to you and your dreams!
  • Run your race and don’t worry about other people and their race!  Do what you do, and do it with excellence!
  • Keep selling and keep telling people about how you can help them enjoy life better!
  • Don’t let the no’s stop you. Keep asking, cause if you ask enough, you will get a yes!  Keep asking!  Your task is to ask!
  • Find what you love to do and do it with everything you have within you!
  • Learn to laugh! Laughter is the best medicine in the world.
  • When you stop laughing, you stop living!

How to Flip Your Failure Into a Fabulous Life!

Jane Herlong

Jane Herlong is an Amazon Best Selling Author, a Hall of Fame Speaker, an award winning singer and a popular SiriusXM Comedy Channel contributor.

Jane is a former Miss South Carolina Beauty Pageant winner, who went on to the Miss America Pageant anticipating a win and a new career as Miss America. But she lost! She was down, but decided that she would not let that loss knock her out.

Jane went on to turn that setback into an incredible comeback. Today she is a successful speaker, author, radio personality, wife and mother. She lives on a beautiful peach farm in South Carolina. She travels the country inspiring people to understand that disappointment happens, but discouragement…and giving up, is a choice!

Her new book, Rhine Stones On My Flip Flops, shares how to flip the negatives into positive WOW experiences and then put glitter on top!

In this incredible interview for my SiriusXM radio show, Jane shares the following powerful points:

  1. Stuff happens, but successful people keep moving forward, putting one foot after another, until they are able to run!
  2. You must take some risks! Life is worth trying and falling so you can get up and start to fly!
  3. You must decide what kind of punctuation mark you have after your name…a question mark or an exclamation mark! Decide to live an incredible life!
  4. Be brave!  Look in the mirror and talk to yourself! And tell yourself to be brave, and then move forward, even when you are scared!
  5. Learn the power of prayer, the power of purpose and the power of the purse. Pray, work and build wealth, so you can leave a legacy for future generations.
  6. Life is like a basket of tomatoes. You must get the bad ones out of the basket so you don’t mess up the good ones. Don’t hang with negative people…they will infect you!
  7. Look for the humor in life, it makes life so much more enjoyable!
  8. Find your gifts and then expand on them! Keep working on getting better!
  9. Don’t just go through the tough times, make the decision to learn and grow through the tough times, and decide to get better!
  10. The way to really live life well is to live it like the Hokey Pokey. Put your feet in (get moving towards your goal), Shake it all around (when negative stuff happens, shake it off). Turn Around (and think up thoughts). Even in down times, decide to be grateful and you will see that that’s what life is really all about!

The Future Of Your Money

ric edelman

Ric Edelman is widely regarded as one of the top advisors in the financial field. He was ranked the nations #1 Independent Financial Advisor three times by Barrons, and named one of America’s Top 10 Wealth Advisors by Forbes Magazine.

He is a #1 New York Times Best Selling Author, host of numerous award winning PBS Specials and an award-winning radio show. He has over 157 financial planners and 42 offices across America and his firm manages over $17 Billion for more than 31,000 individuals and families. His newest book, The Truth About Your Future, is already on the best sellers’ list and is giving us critical information about the future of our money!

In this dynamic interview on my SiriusXM radio show, Ric shares:

  • The world is changing quickly and just as technology has impacted books, music and communication, it is also impacting communications.
  • The future will continue to be disruptive, yet with that disruption, comes great new financial opportunities to create wealth.
  • Due to new technologies, people are living longer and therefore need more money for their longer life spans. In 1900, the average life expectancy was age 47 and now it is over 70.
  • Many of the occupations we know now, will not be around in 10 years! And many investments are going away as well..
  • If we are to survive and thrive, then we must be willing to think differently or you will have a difficult struggle – just ask Blockbusters or Kodak. Kodak didn’t prepare for the future. It had over 150,000 employees and yet went bankrupt while Instagram had 13 employees and was sold for over a billion dollars! Are YOU thinking Blockbuster thoughts in a Netflix world?
  • Currency, paper money, is on its way out. Digital currency is coming fast, and in a few years, the only paper money we will see, will be in museums.
  • The wise are working on new tech focused skills, because they will be in demand in the future. We need to prepare now because it is on the way.”
  • Become aware of the new changes first. Then do something about it.
  • Make it important to create wealth, because with wealth you can help your family, your community and others you want to positively impact.
  • Create more wealth. Then grow it!
