Must read for all African Americans especially business and law school students. parents should add this book to their library and make sure their children read it. We need more of you not just looking for a position in the corporate world but shaking up that world as Mr.Lewis did and taking kind of success to the next level.
Aunt Loida. I heard those stories when I was 7. Every summer. She is an amazing woman. Hands down. All the people she deals with, she will not forget your name

Thank you so much for this post and for all the comments! As a young (at heart) black woman living in Kenya's seaside "paradise" Diani, it really resonates in a myriad ways.
@7:00 how in the world do you compare this billionaire to a bunch of celebrities. We’re not trying to replicate celebrities we’re trying to replicate with this man did .
I’d personally feel insulted when someone compares an athlete or celebrity to me and that’s whether I’m wealthy or not these people are 1 trick pony’s no different than gladiators
Great piece. But one correction to her story. My uncle James McPherson was also accepted into Harvard Law school without taking the LSAT or paying a fee too. He was Reginald Lewis's roommate. He graduated undergrad Morris Brown. Went on to win a Pulitzer for nonfiction. First African American ever. However, he never practiced law. Also for you conspiracy theorists commenting here, I can tell you in this case you are not all the way wrong.
@@edduardprince5616 They didnt apply. Harvard reached out them. Didnt take the LSAT, which is the law school entrance exam. All of these people graduated.
In my life of 50 YEARS I've had a lot ups and downs and since my last down it seemed that I've been waiting for something to spark my brain and now to hear Mrs Lewis speak i believe this is the speech that has gave me the spark to go out there and start of again to make a difference and to be a successful man, so i will say thank you to Mr and Mrs Reginald Lewis, I'm going to do the right work for me to make that money.

We turn a blind eye to gang violence, drug dealing, misuse of our women and children.

Are we missing something here?? Two persons, here below, took the words out of my mouth: - "How in the world do you compare this billionaire to a bunch of celebrities.

Jay Z has done well for himself. Could be worth as much as $400 million, but I doubt it. He is usually a figurehead with silent partners and in companies where he is minority owner but most visible. Jay has never been near a Billion in net worth in his life. His personal friends at Forbes and the NY Times are helping present that Billionaire image for Jay-Z.

He I always knew but learned more about. He ranks as one of the greatest to have ever done it. She sorry…Mrs Lewis, is breath taking. This is a great (in the sense of Winnie Mandela) women.
uhmm why is DJ khalid mention in the same breath as those others...what going on here any way I was really paying attention when he orchestrated .."Beatrice deal"...

One Bad ass Legend! Remember when he secured the deal. Every black person should research Reggie. He as a bad ass and took no mess. He knew he belonged. Most black people are so afraid that they are stagnant. He is legendary.
Entertainers and athletes shouldn't be mentioned with the likes of businessmen such as Mr. Lewis because, they don't create networks with usable resources.
What I received from this is make sure you leave some money for your people. He was a black billionaire but most of his fortune went to his wife apparently who was not black. So once again black folks get “the story” meanwhile the wealth helped another non black community…😔
This is a very truthful statement . His wife built a school in the Philippines with the money he left her, but I am not aware of anything that she did for the Black community. No other race of people does this except Black people.
Does anyone here know if Lewis ever tried to make deals that DIDN'T work out, that "failed"?? Did he ever tried to buy or acquire a company and didn't succeed?? I thought he only tasted success ---but I am glad to hear he also failed some, glad too he never stopped. Even in his marriage he chose well, he chose a woman who bought into HIS dream and character, doesn't seem like she even ever tried to change him, and she was all the way behind him in all areas, it seems. I bet you all that this lady knows more about business than all the business-school students or "professionals" in the audience, JUST BY BEING AROUND HIM, by listening daily to his talk or way of thinking about negotiations or deals.
Reginald Lewis had several attempted acquisitions "blocked" believably prejudicially and racially. He was always prepared and exceptionally thorough in his approach to every deal. Please read the book. I couldn't put it down and didn't look at another book until I finished his biography. The best read of my life next to the bible.

What’s the magic on wearing two watches?
Brilliant seeds of great wisdom. I am thankful and grateful for this amazing blue print. Where there is opportunity there are huge profits. I imagine the complete product or brand through the sheer will and obedience of your Subconscious and GOD (Goal Obedience Determination). Success is a given. Always tith, give at least 10% of profits back towards areas of merciful need and heartfelt concern. I feel empowered. Namaste and Aloha sincerely Rodney P. May your days be filled with miracles and Infinite blessings from this day forward. Amen 🙏🏾🌹🌹🌹💯💜
