John Bryant: From Homeless to Hope
By Tracy L. Scott, BET.com Staff Writer 

Age:

39

Back Then:

Born and raised in South Central, Calif., Bryant tried his hand at acting, but ended up on the street. He later began his career in banking when
a friend of a friend offered him a job.

Claim to Fame:

Bryant is the founder of Operation HOPE, an organization
that helps financially empower the underprivileged and underserved.

Currently:

Bryant runs more than nine Operation HOPE branches in more
than 10 cities nationwide. He launched the Operation Restore HOPE initiative to help Hurricane Katrina victims recover from the disaster.

Ten Things on Bryant’s Mind…

1. "Don’t cop an attitude. Change your attitude."
2. "Everyday, learn something new. Be obsessed with learning."
3. "Don’t expect life to be a rose garden."
4. "Own something … no leased cars on the lawn of your rented duplex."
5. "Entrepreneurs work 18 hours a day to keep from getting a job."
6. "Redefine success."
7. "Love is work."
8. "Decide what type of bird you want to be. Eagles don’t fly in packs. Buzzards are low altitude birds that love packs. Turkeys have wings and can’t fly."
9. "Invest in yourself."
10. "Watch how you live your life. It may be the only Bible that anyone else  reads."
