Billionaire Shares Keys To Success with 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 Students

Insurance industry leader Hyatt Brown brought the story of how he became a billionaire to 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 on Tuesday, telling students the secrets to his success include self-discipline, his family and a seven-day-a-week work habit.

It鈥檚 all part of what he called his four cornerstones of happiness: family, security, health and discipline.

鈥淭his is not scientific, but this is me after 50 years of work every day and on Sundays,鈥� Brown said.  鈥淚t鈥檚 the goal posts of life, measuring your happiness in life. Family, security, which is how you feel about yourself, health and discipline.鈥�

Discipline, he added, is the most important.

鈥淚f you don鈥檛 have discipline, you can鈥檛 have good health, you can鈥檛 be secure, and you can鈥檛 have a family. Life is simple, we make it complicated.鈥�

Brown is the chairman of Brown & Brown, Inc., the sixth largest insurance brokerage in the nation.

He told the story of how he turned a family business into a major firm and became a billionaire in the process as part of the Simpkins Speaker Series on the college鈥檚 Melbourne campus, an event open to students, faculty, staff and the public.

Brown has been named one of the "50 Most Influential People in Insurance" by Business Insurance Magazine and received awards for industry leadership from Investor鈥檚 Business Daily, A.M. Best and the Insurance Federation of New York.

He shared quotes that have helped shape his life and work, including this one:

鈥淚n the morning in Africa, a cheetah awakes knowing it will have to run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve. In the morning in Africa, a gazelle awakes knowing it will have to run faster than the fastest cheetah or it will die. In the morning, when you get up, whether you are a cheetah or a gazelle you better wake up running.

At the event, 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 student Joshua Allen was named the 2020 Spring semester Bernard Simpkins Entrepreneurial $1,000 Scholarship recipient from the 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 Foundation.

Allen, who is pursuing an Associate in Science Degree in Engineering Technology, has a passion for music and wants to start his own business designing and building guitar pedals.
