Pressure can bust a pipe
Speak up- Speak out, don't keep it bottled inside. There's more room on the outside than the inside, to keep the things that bother or concern you locked up. Pressure can and will bust a pipe, express yourself. Everywhere around the world, people have decided the revolution is about freedom, the freedom to express their views, without persecution or the fear of death.If you have something to say, say it don't let the self consciousness of speaking in public stop you, the message is more important than you.

Nothing succeeds, like success, in Public Speaking
What we mean by, "nothing succeeds, like success in public speaking" is exactly how it sounds. Were going to look at a public speaking success story. Case in point the Christian Pastor Joel Osteen, who is the leader of one of the largest churches and congregations, in the United States. It's called a Mega-church, but is wasn't always that way. Joel would be the first one to tell you, that he had no desire to pastor a church. Prior to his father's passing, he loved what he was doing, by being a behind the scenes guy. Then after sickness, his father passed away, Joel was called on to pastor the church, and refused by using every excuse in the book, but God had a different plan for him. Fast forward twelve years, here is a man with no prior public speaking experience, who is a poised, confident and eloquent speaker, why because he discovered the secret. What is the secret, plain and simply that the power is in the doing, the more you do, the more you are able to do. Use Joel's story as an inspiration for your own public speaking success, do less stressing and more speaking.
Speak and Grow Rich
Let me start by saying for all of you who get frightened at the prospects of speaking in public, fear no more, anyone can become a confident and entertaining speaker with a little practice and know-how. You can approach public speaking in two ways, one is Inspiration, there are many public speakers who with nothing more than the topic, speak directly from the heart , meaning whatever inspired words come to mind about their particular topic, that's what they speak on. Now all of us are not so lucky, because when were nervous, nothing that makes sense comes out of our mouth's. Most people use the second approach, taken from an actors training workshop that says "security is in knowing your lines"know what it is you want to say, write it down and stand before a mirror and practice it, then practice the practicing, then when it comes time to give your presentation you will deliver it like a pro. Above all remember as a public speaker, you are a teacher, imparting useful information to your audience, so the next time you are called on to make a speech, fear less, and speak more, with confidence, and know that your audience wants you to succeed. The funny thing about fear, is that it is basically at it's core an imaginary thing. what was it that Roosevelt said "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself." Now that we know exactly what it is that may be keeping us from being all we can be, its time to clear our minds, our imaginations. Don't create monsters in your mind, that aren't there, what you see is what you get. Instead of seeing yourself failing at public speaking, change the channel in your mind, and you'll be surprised at what a difference it will make. Learn to go into the talking mode in your head, telling yourself positive things, rather than being in the listening mode, that keeps telling you you will fail. Being an accomplished public speaker, can make a big difference in your income. Gain the know how, so you can Speak and Grow rich.
Fearless Public Speaking
Most people suffer from what's known as Glossophobia, or stage fright, when called on to make a toast at a wedding, or any situation we are called on to speak in public, our knees get weak, we get butterflies in our stomach's, our palms start to sweat and the words come out sounding like were from outer space. If this sounds like you, don't worry because you are not alone, millions of people have the Fear of public speaking. Comedian Jerry Seinfeld says " when it comes to funerals, most people would rather be the one in the casket, than the one giving the eulogy". Good news! Help is on the way. The fear that you have of public speaking, is basically, an imaginary factor, and anything imagined, can be unimagined. Was it former President Roosevelt who said "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself". You can learn to be a fearless, more confidant speaker, the famed football coach Vince Lombardi said "The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand." ~ Vince Lombardi
