1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING – To Excel, You Need to Immunize Yourself Against “Herd Mentality” [Hint: 5 Questions to Check If You Have “IT”]
Are you secretly scared of standing out from the crowd? Of being different from others? Or of having to – sometimes – go after your goals ALONE?
If YES there’s a good chance authentic and sustainable success will habitually elude you – especially as an expert in your chosen field of interest or expertise.
Why?
Because those who excel in life rarely let concerns about belong to the “herd” influence their decision making about goals to set and pursue.
Or to put it another way, they are NOT afflicted with “Herd Mentality”.
I define “Herd Mentality” as the unconscious – near uncontrollable – desire to belong to a group of others, and a severe aversion for being alone.
This mentality, in my estimation, afflicts over 80% of people in most societies, because they pass through conventional schooling, which by it’s very design, discourages individuality.
If you’ve been following my writing a while, you most likely know that I believe formal schooling systems, carried over from the industrial era, generally do more harm than good to most learners who pass through them.
The reason for that is our conventional schools train learners to (wrongly) believe it is more important to conform to other people’s definition of success, than to pursue self-discovery and fulfillment.
The result is that most people leave school driven to seek the approval of others, rather than looking inwards to discover what truly edifies them as individuals i.e. what makes them happy and fulfilled.
The Herd Mentality makes them lack the crucial ingredient for excelling in life i.e. self-esteem or self-belief.
A person with a healthy level of self-esteem will have no problems believing that s/he has something unique that sets him/her apart from others who do what s/he does.
Such a person will also have the self-confidence to go out of his/her way to nurture that unique knowledge/ability into something that gives him/her a competitive advantage over others.
Not just that, s/he will do so, without feeling guilty or apologetic about missing out on being with others in the process.
S/he would be immune to “Herd Mentality”.
Are you immune to “Herd Mentality”? YOUR answer to these questions will tell you! (YES = Good | NO = Not So Good).
1. Are you able to say NO to others when they invite you to join them, at a time when you have something you KNOW you need to get away from others to do?
2. Do you refuse to let others make you feel guilty (when you meet later) for choosing to stay away when they invited you at such times?
3. Are you able to go out and about to new places, meeting new people, on your own, when not with others in a group?
4. Are you able to speak your mind without needing to be around others who think like you?
5. Can you confidently communicate and/or implement an original idea you believe in, even if you get no support/agreement from others whose opinion you value?
If you said NO to all 5 questions I’d say you have a REALLY SERIOUS case of “Herd Mentality”…and that is likely to severely limit you as an Expert in your field!
At the risk of stating the obvious those you serve (i.e. your clients) will be looking up to, and depending on YOU to guide them in the right direction to achieve their valued goals.
A person struggling with self-esteem and self-confidence issues will find it difficult to do that, and there is a good chance it will show – especially when you come under stress.
Now, stress is an inevitable reality in life. Things can – and do – go wrong – and it is our ability to stay in control, despite the occurrence of setbacks or crises, that helps us maintain course towards success.
This is why you need to train yourself to make changes in your mental attitude, that will enable you say YES to those questions, if you want to excel in serving your clients.
The key to achieving that change in mental attitude, is for you to realize that you do NOT have to live your life in conformity with others people standards and expectations.
Or to paraphrase Dan Kennedy, you do NOT need anyone’s permission to succeed.
This is not a call to dump or ignore friends or loved ones.
Instead, it’s a challenge for you to be true to yourself, and focus your best efforts on achieving the goals you hunger for, without feeling guilty or apologetic about it.
Most importantly, this is a call for you to refuse to settle for what others seem to think is okay for them, when your gut instincts tell you that you are capable of so much more!
Being true to yourself in this manner will drive you to live YOUR life on YOUR own terms, in a way that will INEVITABLY glorify your Creator.
So, if you’ve been doing it, stop trying to please others at the expense of your dreams, by belonging to the herd.
Remember this:
1. The Creator did not design you to be wimp.
When you let a fear of being different, or of being criticized for being different keep you from doing what you REALLY want to do, you are being a WIMP!
2. The World will appreciate you more if you give in to your instincts to aim higher in life, to achieve challenging goals, because You WILL become a LEADER in the process, thereby making you more capable of helping them!
In light of the above, I urge you to examine your life so far till date…
Determine how often you have let the need to conform, and belong, prevent YOU from actualizing YOUR full God-given potential.
If you what you discover falls short of the standard you know you should aim for, then make the change recommended from TODAY.
I wish you greater success in 2016 and beyond!

Question: But who is Burt Dubin, and why do I (Tayo K. Solagbade) think you should you learn from
him?
Answer: Burt is a 3 decade veteran in the professional speaking business. After achieving top level cross continental success as an
expert-speaker, he has established a reputation for mentoring some of the highest paid speakers in the world. He owns SpeakingBizSuccess.com, SpeakingSuccess.com and BurtDubin.com.
Burt helps those he mentors (experts-who-speak) to Position, Package, Promote, and Present* themselves successfully to clients (*He calls
them the 4Ps). That’s why it’s no surprise that on Burt’s website, considerable space capital is devoted to useful business marketing articles as well as products.
It might also interest you to know that MANY years back, Burt established himself as one of the best marketing minds in the world. To really put this FACT in
proper perspective, I’ll provide more specific details in form of an example.
A few years ago, Burt contributed an article to a powerful publication titled “The Most Effective Articles Ever – By The World’s Top Marketers“. That 574 page ebook features timeless marketing advice from 71 of the world’s top marketers – including Jack
Trout, Joe Vitale, Yanik Silver…and Burt Dubin.
That’s ample proof that (in addition to Public Speaking), Burt would be a great resource to learn business marketing from!
Full Disclosure: I represent Burt as Sole Agent for his products/services, which means if YOU buy from him, I get paid.
But that’s NOT the main reason I represent and recommend him. I have benefited in many ways by learning from Burt. Through his writing, his audio recordings,
and from directly relating with him.
Before we teamed up in 2011, I’d been studying his work and adapting it to succeed in my work from way back in 2002. It does not matter what part of the world
you’re in. If you know how to adapt them to suit your peculiar local needs, Burt’s ideas and strategies WILL work for you. I am living proof of it!
That’s why I never tire of CONFIDENTLY recommending him to others.
If you need help putting the ideas shared above to use, let me know HERE.
