Public Speaking Job

Tips for Writing your First Book for your Public Speaking Jobs.
Commit to the fact that you do indeed have a book to write to launch your Public Speaking Career.. This is very important, as you will inevitably struggle through many obstacles. You must persevere, and passion is the key to that.
Question number One: What book do you have inside you?
Commit to a place of writing. I wrote my first book in Big Sur,
Ca. when I starting my public speaking job. It took many trips, but because I conditioned myself to write there, creativity soared when I arrived there. I have a friend in Atlanta who just finished his first book. He wrote it in his local library. He noticed that when he arrived at his table in
the library, ideas began flowing.
Question number Two: What location will be your center for creative thought? Walk, walk, walk. It refreshes the body, mind and soul. Sam Horn, best-selling author, muses, “When we walk, angels whisper to us.” Find the unique message in your book, and exploit it.
Question number Three: What message in your book is not available in
print? (Hint: think personal experience) Avoid the trap of perfection. Too many writers get
overwhelmed with the reality that the words of their book will live forever. Sometimes even paragraphs are worded and reworded so many times it drains the writer, and quenches the
creativity. Write what you believe…and keep writing. You can
change things later in your book, or even share your new
insights in a following book. Just write!
Spend a lot of time on the title. Believe me – it makes a big
difference for your Public Speaking Jobs.
Include public speaking marketing in your book! I have a friend who, in his
book, includes positive comments on products, as part of the story line. (The comfortable ride in the BMW, the perfect taste of the Miller Light beer, etc. He then approaches those
organizations to buy his book as a give-away that endorses their product.) I once mentioned a friend of mine was a great example of integrity. He was a real-estate agent. He bought a
hundred copies to give to potential clients. Get Started Now! Everyone has a book inside them. Most are even are planning to “write it all down” one day. Very few ever do. Question number Four: When will you start? Don't delay getting started with your public speaking jobs!
(Much more to come later – Good Luck!)
