Hi,

Please find below the latest issue of my Speaking IDEAS newsletter.

Today, he enjoys growing recognition as a competent business coach, from clients in different parts of the world. But he had to overcome poverty and repeat failures to get where he is today…

From the age of 13 to 21, he sold groceries on the streets to help his parents make ends meet. The tough times were however so unrelenting, that at a point, his father fell ill and passed on. Then things got even worse, to the point that the girl he was dating, and dreamings of marrying left him saying:

“…This is not going to work. I don’t know what you’re up to in life. You don’t have a future. You don’t have money, nothing is working for you. Your background is very poor.“

He was devastated, but eventually clawed his way back to sanity, and moved on, till he succeeded.

This guy’s story is as amazing, as it is gripping. Email tayo at tksola dot com to get the FREE PDF transcript I created, of the TV interview in which he tells it all.

E-mail your name, country, mobile number, occupation, & facebook/twitter URLs (if any) to tayo at tksola dot com, and I’ll send you a FREE copy of the 21 minute TV Interview transcript I just created!

Most countries will gladly welcome “foreigners” they know can bring positive benefits to their people and economies. A UK based Nigerian whose amazing success story I recently transcribed – from the video of a TV interview (email tayo at tksola dot com to get a FREE copy) – coaches small and medium business owners across the world.

If more people like him frequented the UK from Nigeria, it’s unlikely the former would introduce steep hurdles like large cash deposits as entry requirements for citizens of the latter country.

As an Expert, You Can Follow His Example (Download the PDF/Watch the TV interview)

More experts – especially Africans – can become (like Zig Ziglar called them) “meaningful specifics”. And that can earn them invitations to help people – even in developed societies.

By meaningful specific, I mean someone with a proven ability or competence that can add tangible value to others.

Sometimes your expertise may even be the unique experience and insight you have, on how certain aspects of business and society in Africa work.

Certain institutions/interest groups in developed societies may need Africa based experts, to help them intelligently plan and implement programs meant to be implemented in Africa.

When they discover that you can help them, they’re likely to welcome you. Just like we readily welcome most people from their countries!

Whether you’re African or not, becoming a meaningful specific can help you build a reputation that can speak for you, when you apply for a travel visa!

Remember this: No matter how bad it gets, refusing to quit can help you win!

When starting out, some people faced poverty and failure…like the UK based coach I mentioned.

Today, he enjoys growing recognition as a competent business coach, from clients in different parts of the world. But he had to overcome poverty and repeat failures to get where he is today.

From the age of 13 to 21, he sold groceries on the streets to help his parents make ends meet. The tough times were however so unrelenting, that at a point, his father fell ill and passed on. Then things got even worse, to the point that the girl he was dating, and dreamings of marrying left him saying:

“…This is not going to work. I don’t know what you’re up to in life. You don’t have a future. You don’t have money, nothing is working for you. Your background is very poor.“

He was devastated, but eventually clawed his way back to sanity, and moved on, till he succeeded.

This guy’s story is as amazing, as it is gripping. Email tayo at tksola dot com to get the FREE PDF transcript I created, of the TV interview in which he tells it all.

That PDF has a link to the FULL 23 minute TV interview on Youtube.

Poor Speaking Skills Can Prevent You From Becoming a Meaningful Specific

Experts-who-speak can serve target audiences in a variety of ways. Apart from providing expert services, many offer customizable learning events to meet each client’s needs.

This implies that if you are a competent expert and have poor public speaking skills, you potentially deny yourself of powerful extra income generating opportunities.

The above mentioned business coach revealed how, in his early twenties, he used public speaking as a marketing tool, to sell over 6,000 copies of his book in Nigeria’s Delta state.

But he did not find it easy…

Like he put it, he initially lacked the self-confidence to speak in public. To overcome that problem, he took up teaching of young children at his Church’s Sunday School. Then he later moved to addressing students in primary and secondary schools. After he mastered that level, he stepped up to speaking before university students…and kept going till he found his feet.

This gentleman has since read many books on public speaking, attended coaching and personal development courses, and is an active member of the toastmaster chapter in his area.

In other words, he took personal action to become a meaningful specific. As a business coach today, he uses his speaking skills to market himself, and to also meet the needs of his clients.

For instance, h e gives talks, and organises other custom learning events attended by business owners. And his proven ability as a speaker enables him to make the most of those opportunities.

Improve Yourself: Get Help to Become a More Impact-full Speaker Today!

Interestingly, this UK based coach has told me he’s interested in hiring a seasoned mentor of professional speakers, to help him improve his speaking.

Some other person(s) would have felt contented with that level of success he’s already achieved.

But he knows he can do better, and wants to improve. I strongly believe that’s why he’s succeeding i.e. because he sets high standards for himself!

He apparently understands that success is the never ending pursuit of excellence!

You can try self-improving your speaking. Alternatively, consider saving time, and trial/error, by tapping from the wisdom of someone with over 25 years experience as a mentor of some of the world’s highest paid speakers.

That person is Burt Dubin.

I publish this weekly speaking IDEAS newsletter to promote Burt Dubin’s mentoring service – and I’ll get a commission if anyone buys from him as a result. My contact with his materials on public speaking and speaking business marketing, since the year 2000, convince me he is number ONE in the speaker mentoring business.

1. Top Shelf [Click here] | 2. Mid Range [Click here] | 3. Budget Delight [Click here]

What fears or doubts are keeping you from (a) taking up Burt Dubin’s monthly speaker mentoring, or (b) buying his products?

You can choose to purchase Burt’s mentoring at any of the three (3) levels listed below:

1. Top Shelf [Click here] | 2. Mid Range [Click here] | 3. Budget Delight [Click here]

Burt’s three mentoring packages can be likened to the seating options offered by airlines: Budget Delight (Economy); Mid Range (Business); and Top Shelf (First Class).

At least that’s how I like to think of them!

All three will get you to your desired destination of “speaking success-ville” – so long as you meet the requirements/play your part well (your fare, abide by the set guidelines etc). During the “flight”, the seat you have will determine how much personal service attention and preference the provider will accord you. It’s that simple :-)

So, make your choice:1. Top Shelf [Click here] | 2. Mid Range [Click here] | 3. Budget Delight [Click here]
