    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

    If there is one thing that I have learned over the years, it’s that the most worthwhile things done in life are done with a team. I would like to express my deep-felt thanks to these special souls without whom this work would have forever remained stuck in the computers, ink pens, and notebooks that clutter my desk.

    To my dear friend Ms. Kerri Pohn, for all of your hard work and brilliant insight. To Joseph Bossey, for your expert counsel. To Joe, Emily, and Tani Williams, for your true friendship. To Brooks Hale, Jayne Jewel, Sir Albert Saab, Joelle Burges, and the members blast, for all the laughs and adventure. To Ms. Lisa Nichole, for your love and support. To Sam the man Georges, for your timeless Samisms. To Ms. Sonia Satra, for your loving coaching and seeing the light in me. To Ms. Lynn Rose, for your insight and your push. To Ms. Sarah Pinckney (I hope I spelled it right … tee-hee), for your patience. To Ms. Kerri Kennedy, for all of your help and trust in the system. And last but by all means not least, to my dear friends and partners, Tony and Becky Robbins.

    —JOSEPH MCCLENDON III

    How to Use Ebony Power Thoughts: Getting the Best out of the Process

    About the Anthony Robbins Companies

    INTRODUCTION

    The real power behind whatever success I have now is something I found within myself—something that’s in all of us. I think, a little piece of God is just waiting to be discovered.

    TINA TURNER, I, Tina

    Since the dawn of time people have been inspired by the magical words and actions of others. Hearing about the accomplishments of great individuals, how they beat the odds and how they interpreted their life’s experiences, offers us an irresistible flavor of possibility and ignites our passion to continue to reach for the brass ring andcreate an extraordinary quality of life. Studying the beliefs and values of these gifted souls gives us some insight as to how to duplicate their successes in our own lives.

    This book was created from our personal need to have a comprehensive collection of success quotes and inspirational anecdotes from outstanding black role models. It grew into a user-friendly conditioning tool for continued growth and fulfillment.

    The truth is, we can learn something from everyone. The truth also is, very often, we relate more to those whom we perceive to be more like ourselves. There is no question that the experience of being black in America is far different than that of being white, Asian, or any other race. Out of that recognition and respect we wanted to write this book. Out of our personal desire to share the power of those role models and the technology we teach, we’ve created what we believe is a powerful tool for inspiration and positive change.

    The power within the words of our great black leaders and role models is so great that it astonishes us. By indulging in the positive accomplishments of others, we can more easily envision ourselves as potential recipients of the fruits of our own forward motion.

    This book is a new dimension in inspirational literature. Ebony Power Thoughts is an outgrowth from our original work, Unlimited Power: A Black Choice, which was designed to walk you through the foundation of the most advanced tools for producing an extraordinary quality of life. And our hope for you is that Ebony Power Thoughts will inspire you to seek our
