In the late 1960's and early 1970's Glenn W Turner founded his first company Koscot a cosmetic company. As Mr. Turner spoke his staff would take extensive notes it is from this basis the company Dare To Be Great evolved. The theme song "Dare to Be Great" states success is a state of mind. Mr. Turner states, "that what we have been programed to think is what we produce. The only difference between you and anybody in this world that has more out of life than you do" is the way you think. Mr. Turner understood that a persons thoughts were, these thoughts were responsible for what that person was. In the "Dare To Be Great Seminars" people learned to control their minds and change their thought processes from negative to positive. Therefore creating a better world for themselves and their families. The entire family in Dare To Be Great attended these seminars. This same concept is alive today in Mr. Turner's "Steps To Greatness Seminars".

What Glenn writes and spoke in his Dare To Be Great seminars influenced many people who became successful in their own right even long after those exhilarating days (you had to be there to understand the excitement and innervation of those times and the seminars). I know several of those who followed the DTBG program and they would underscore Glenn's words above.
PS to Glenn: Glad to see you are still out there sharing your thoughts with those who would learn. Reply to this

Hello Dear Mr. Turner,
It is nice to see you have a blog. Wonderful!
Sometime between 1968 and 1973 my father, who at the time was a Ph.D. student at USC, took us an evening to one of your seminars in Columbia. Even though I was only about 12 years old, I remember two things perfectly well: I met you in person and I heard the words: "Dare to be Great".
This statement has stayed with me all these years. I have used it with my own person and I have been blessed to be able to pass it on to many people through my life time.
Meanwhile I am whom I had always wanted to be. I know your words contributed as well towards this.
You are also a true visionary.
I send you the purest of blessings. My father sends his regards.

In 1971, I was a 20 year old kid and the very first German in Dare to be Great in Germany. That’s when I first met Mr. Turner. He had flown into Frankfort; we had rented a small meeting room not far from the Airport. There were less than 50 people in the audience. I remember sitting in the back when Bob N. and Mr. Turner came over to me and Bob said that I’d be interpreting. I was shocked. You see, my English is good; however, I had never translated live. But Glenn took me by the hand and said “let’s go, you can do it”. We went to the front of the room, he put two chairs on a table and up we went.
The first few sentenced were hard. I really had trouble understanding him. I had to get used to the sound of his harelip. But suddenly it seemed like I’d never been doing anything else. It wasn’t just what he was saying, I translated what I felt coming over from his heart. And I knew every word he said was true.
I’ve been on stage with him in front of big audiences many times after that. I’ve been to trainings in Orlando several times, flew on Glenn’s Lear-jet, met all the executives and translated for them when they visited Germany. I was the first German Trainer and trained others to do the seminars and opportunity meetings. We worked a lot and we had a ball all the time. But the main thing was that everybody was happy.
Dare to be Great wasn’t a company. It was a way of life. Some people made big money, others never earned a lot, but we all loved being together, encouraging each other, thinking positive thoughts, helping each other and feeling part of something great and important. We really believed that each of us could help make the world a better place and that our attitudes counted more than anything else.
More than 35 years have passed since, and I’m still a Dare-to-be-Greater. Glenn has always been my hero, I carry the 100 $ bill with his signature in my wallet as my good luck charm ever since he gave it to me way back when. I’ve read piles of books, attended other seminars, walked on fire with Tony Robbins and know lots of other Gurus. For me, there is not one who comes close to the hare lipped sharecropper’s son from Marion SC. He knew and shared The Secret with the world 35 years ago.
If ever there is a way of working with Glenn Turner again – I’m ready. I’m 56 now, but I’d love to hear him say “let’s go – you can do it!”

Glen Turner was, is, and will always be an INSPIRATION to me. I'm 65, and remember the early 70's in NY. Bought the [Dare To Be Great] Courses and records. Besides Elvis, my Mom and God, Glenn Turner has helped [Change My Life] for the better. TODAY Glenn would make a Great Presidential candidate for the USA. Reply to this

I am probably your age. Glenn got me fired up in the fall or winter of 1971. I wish i could remember where my first go tour was, maybe in Cleveland. I lived in Ohio at the time and now live in Florida. It never quite died out for me and i am also too dumb to give up on that dream that is still in our hearts and souls, thanks for the memories and the spark to keep us relentlessly chasing that dream. God Bless.. Reply to this
