Public Speaking Ability Pays Handsomely
People who learn Public Speaking skills can revolutionize their income.
Notice I said LEARN. Public speaking is something practically anyone can learn to do effectively. It is a skill set like most any other except it pays far in excess of practically any other skill set you know.
Many speakers start their Public speaking engagements at the local Lions Club, or better yet at their local Toastmasters Club. The point is you can start with a friendly ‘laid back’ audience in order to hone your skills.
Toastmasters offers wonderful resources and the coaching/support that can transform a person from a ‘Nervous Nelly’ into a compelling force.
Home Based business entrepreneurs are especially suited to learn this skill for several reasons.
First, we have expressed numerous times that new businesses need to invest a good 60% (or more) of their time on Marketing. Giving a talk on your field can easily put you in front of dozens of prospects at a time.
Better yet, those people listening will see you as some sort of ‘expert’ - just by the very fact that you are one giving the presentation/talk. Once you are seen as the ‘expert’ - people stop thinking of you as a ’salesman’. That in itself offer HUGE benifits.
There are tons of resources for entrepreneaurs to learn to be an effective speaker. I’ve already mentioned Toastmasters Steve Siebold is someone who I deeply respect and he comes from the ‘Bill Grove’ line of training (you’ll be stunned to learn about the number of household names that have also followed this school of training). Lots of Great information at Steve’s site: http://publicspeakersblog.com/
Home based business entrepreneaurs should put ’Public Speaking’ near the top of skill sets to master because it offers huge leverage in being effective and efficient with your time and credibility.
