This is an ambitious topic. Question: What qualifies me to write on it? Answer: The fact that you’re reading THIS, right now – It’s proof of the fact that I successfully persist in doing what others have said is impossible – in spite of repeated orchestrated attempts by some to “pull me down”, over the past ten years. This is a simple statement of fact.
Many who seek to achieve authentic success, with integrity, face similar trials.
But rather than talk about haters, this issue of my Speaking IDEAS newsletter discusses how a competent expert, like YOU, can do what others say you cannot. e.g. establish a lucrative Speaking Business, and/or use Public Speaking for your business marketing.

Question: What qualifies me to write on it? Answer: The fact that you’re reading THIS, right now – It’s proof of the fact that I successfully persist in doing what others have said is impossible – in spite of repeated orchestrated attempts by some to “pull me down”, over the past ten years. This is a simple statement of fact. Many who seek to achieve authentic success, with integrity, face similar trials. But rather than talk about haters, this issue of my Speaking IDEAS newsletter discusses how a competent expert, like YOU, can do what others say you cannot. e.g. establish a lucrative Speaking Business, and/or use Public Speaking for your business marketing. Many Experts Are Possessed By A Fear of Public SpeakingMany business owners and professionals dread public speaking. Those close to them often know it. That’s why the latter often express doubts or outright sarcasm when they announce their intention to launch speaking businesses. James R. Cook, author of the Startup Entrepreneur, noted in his book that when people express doubts or scorn towards your idea, it is often a sign that you’re on the right path. Now, we’re told to get the support of loved ones towards pursuing our goals. An assumption is implied that those loved one will “believe” we can succeed. But what if they don’t? Those close to us can be blinded by their knowledge of our shortcomings. So rather than give us support, they’re may voice criticism, refuse to give material or other support, and/or even go against us. For Those Doubted By Loved Ones, The Words Of Burt Dubin (creater of the Speaking Success System™) May Provide Some Consolation:
People often measure what is possible based on what they have seen or experienced. To them, whatever they have never seen or experienced remains impossible. Only a few who have developed their “senses” to tap into the depths of their intuition, to gain powerful insights into the nature of things, think and act different. The key to doing the impossible is therefore to become one of those few. I offer 5 tips you can use: 1. Have Unquestioning Faith: The Fact That You Want To, Means You Can!Yes. Another name for it is conviction. It’s the first step really. Donald Wattles in the Science of Getting Rich E-book explained that the very fact that you feel the “urge” to do something implies you have the capability within you to do it. This is a powerful truth. That’s why Napoleon Hill wrote that “Whatever your mind can conceive, it can achieve.” Purge yourself of any doubts – continually, until you’ve trained your mind to only suggest the kinds of thoughts you want to you. You may have heard it said that “thoughts are things”. And if negative, they can attract the opposite of what you want to you. Do you have conviction that you can succeed as a speaker? NB: Bear in mind – as Burt Dubin warns – that you must specialize in a topic that people are willing to pay for, if you expect to reap profitable financial rewards. 2. Develop Mastery – Learn Everything There Is To KnowToday, we fly across the world in metal planes that weight tones. Some decades ago human beings did not consider air travel to be a possibility. We send manned spaceships into space more or less at will. Yet, there was a time when those who dared speak of the foregoing as being possible were regarded as being insane. I could go on. But you get the message. At every stage of man’s development, we have had to depend on those who refused to recognize impossibilities, to help us break “imaginary” barriers and take quantum leaps forward. To achieve these man made miracles, those responsible toiled for years to develop knowledge and mastery of their subjects. And then they used that know-how to create new possibilities that we now enjoy today. Do the same to achieve your speaking success 3. Take Diligent & Purposeful Action DAILYYou have to take definite action on a regular and consistent basis to achieve your goal. Wishful thinking won’t get you there. Verbal affirmations repeated all day will not. A proverb in my language says:
Translated contextually, this means:
I came across an infographic on Facebook, that expresses a similar sentiment to the above quote. It reads as follows:
In essence, you cannot sit in your chair at home everyday, just dreaming of doing the impossible. You have to articulate a plan and put it in motion – with determination, and perseverance, making intelligent adjustments every single day, until you succeed. What plan do you have for your speaking business? Click here to get help. 4. Know That It’s Unlikely To Happen Overnight (& Never Listen To Nay Sayers)You may have to endure prolonged delays, painful setbacks and other bad experiences. These may also occur frequently. And that could shake your confidence greatly. That’s why Burt Dubin says having bulldog blood is a crucial requirement for success in the speaking business. It will keep you going no matter what.
When you’re starting out, some nay sayers may voice their doubts. If you seem not to be making progress (outwardly), don’t be surprised if people who previously “believed” suddenly become nay sayers too! Sometimes they’ll pop up from closer to you than you every anticipated e.g. your spouse! The truth is nobody, except you, can feel the way you feel about your goal. But if you do not give up, you’ll make believers out of those who doubt you. And when you succeed, they will be your most fervent advocates. So don’t let them shake your convictions!

Draw Inspiration From Those Who Did “Impossible Things” In The PastLike I pointed out in a comment I posted on Men with Pens, the unbelief of others cannot make an individual’s idea or concept unviable. In making my point, I quoted Jeff Bezos (who started Amazon.com) as saying that every competent expert they consulted about starting Amazon.com told them not to. Not one saw the opportunity he – Bezos – saw at the time. Wisely, rather than listen to them, he went ahead, and succeeded in a big way. That’s just one of many examples of people who did what others thought was impossible. Since you’re trying to do something that has never been done, chances are there won’t be historical records of past achievements you can consult to prepare yourself. However we do have a wealth of information about people who succeeded in doing “impossible” things in the past. And Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”, based on his study of 80 millionaires, has proven that the principles of success are universal. So, read their biographies. How did they spend their waking hours? And the rest of each passing day? What kinds of friends did they keep? Where did they turn when they got stuck? What mental attitudes did they have towards failure, difficulty and other forms of adversity? And so on. If you don’t already own it, get a copy of Napoleon Hill’s book. If you do own it, but have not read it, there is no better time that THIS to begin. It makes an excellent companion for people destined to do the impossible – like YOU!
