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.
