<\/a>1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING - <\/span>Acknowledge Even the Smallest Person That Helped You Succeed<\/h1>\n

In this issue, I explain why your success means nothing, if you fail to acknowledge those who helped you on your way up.<\/p>\n

This is a pet peeve of mine.<\/p>\n

Some people seem to believe there's nothing wrong with using and dumping others. Funny enough majority in today\u2019s society rarely call those they see doing it to question, or order, even when they see the signs to justify doing so.<\/p>\n

I do NOT like it one bit. <\/em><\/p>\n

I'm a believer in giving credit to whom it's due - no matter what<\/strong>!<\/h3>\n

Whether the person is big or small, white or red, tall or short, male or female, rich or poor. Whatever s\/he may be, as long as s\/he was able to add useful value to ME, towards helping me get what I wanted, I WILL always tell as many others as possible about it.<\/p>\n

Now, others may feel I'm over doing it, but I believe the best way to encourage more people to exhibit a particular kind of behaviour, is to reward it wherever and whenever it is seen.<\/p>\n

The above mentioned is a simple rule for influencing people, and it's been used for ages by successful people, to gain a competitive edge. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sadly, we too often forget to apply it when it matters most, in our personal relationships. This is why we have so much distrust, mistrust, bitterness, resentment around us today.<\/p>\n

People who have been used and dumped severally, get to the point that they start second guessing others, and stop being as willing to help as they used to.<\/p>\n

Those who have seen good people get used and dumped also take a cue and become wary of being too willing to help others, for fear or getting exploited too.<\/p>\n

The result is that fewer people get the help they sometimes badly need to achieve success that could end up helping MAJORITY of people in society.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably read the life story of some famous or successful person known in the world today, who revealed that his breakthrough came when someone gave him a helping hand<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It could have been a mentor who made a phone call when he was not obligated to, or even a house help who discovered a crucially important contract document that had gone missing, and was needed to close a badly needed deal.<\/p>\n

As he saying goes, no one can be an island to him\/herself. We use the expression \u201cself-made\u201d but one or two persons probably played roles that helped the person so described to succeed. Without such input from others, tiny it may seem on retrospect, s\/he may not have made it!<\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why successful people who are wise, acknowledge their helpers!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now, when that person who got helped succeeds, if when asked s\/he never mentions the pivotal role played by such individuals, none of his\/her admirers will ever know.<\/p>\n

That would not be a crime. But it would be an injustice, and a disincentive. <\/em><\/p>\n

Such a person could see, for instance, the person s\/he helped on TV, or the cover of a magazine, or read an interview s\/he granted, but hear nothing of the role s\/he played.<\/p>\n

Instead, s\/he could read and hear, for instance, the person s\/he helped telling his\/her story of rising from grass to grace, as if what transpired between them never happened. Or if s\/he admits that it happened, s\/he would refer to the person who helped him\/her in the third person e.g. somebody helped me out.<\/p>\n

It happens in obvious ways like the above described. But it also happens in more subtle ways too\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For instance, when one expert takes another experts original ideas (from the latter\u2019s blog, books, articles, audios, videos etc), and studies them to BUILD material for his\/her own work (e.g. private training\/coaching of clients).<\/p>\n

If in describing how his\/her work evolved to its current state, s\/he fails to mention the reference he made to the other expert\u2019s works that would be an example of subtle occurrence.<\/em><\/p>\n

In other words s\/he would have presented it to the world as if he had no \u201chelp\u201d.<\/p>\n

This applies in physical as well as intellectual terms. Imagine a research paper that lists no references of major works consulted.<\/p>\n

What I see happening a lot today, especially with the PC and Internet technology, is that those unwilling to acknowledge others, find it easy to do so using the powerful tools we now have.<\/p>\n

Yet, giving credit will not take anything away from any achievement you record based on work done by another! <\/strong><\/h3>\n

History offers ample proof that this is true.<\/p>\n

Here's one example...<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Thomas Edison improved the light bulb. He did NOT invent it. Many people do not know this, but it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

The light bulb was originally invented by another scientist, who used a metal that did not last long before disintegrating. Edison studied that scientists work, and then worked to find a better metal, till he discovered the tungsten filament.<\/p>\n

Today, despite the fact that Edison he still enjoys great recognition for the improvement he made to it \u2013 because that improvement made it MORE useful to a larger number of people.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why giving credit to others cannot hurt you, if you come up with IMPROVED concepts, ideas or solutions based on work already done by another.<\/p>\n

My argument therefore, is that if we form the habit of giving credit to who it\u2019s due, we will build a society in which people readily give the best of themselves to others \u2013 unconditionally.<\/em><\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

They will have less cause to fear that their efforts may go unrecognised after they do so.<\/p>\n

As an expert-who-speaks, you are a potential thought leader. How you conduct your affairs in this regard can have a major impact on others. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

What do you do, when you relate with friends, relatives, kids, co-workers, employees or associates?<\/p>\n

If a colleague shares his original idea\/concept\/solution with you behind closed doors, which opens your eyes to new way for taking your work to the next level... <\/strong><\/p>\n

Acknowledge it. Let him\/her know. <\/em>That will inspire him\/her to find more ways to help you.<\/p>\n

And if you decide to use what you got from him\/her in your work, PLEASE\u2026I BEG OF YOU:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A. Do not fail<\/u><\/strong> to ask his\/her permission to use it (especially if it\u2019s his\/her original creation<\/u><\/strong>). <\/em><\/p>\n

B. And when using it, endeavour to mention\/indicate who you got it from, to your audience.<\/p>\n

The following apt quote from Burt Dubin (who has mentored experts-who-speak - for 3 decades - to manifest integrity in their dealings) provides a fitting end to this piece:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question: But who is Burt Dubin, and why do I (Tayo K. Solagbade<\/a>) think you should you learn from<\/h1>\n

him?<\/p>\n

Answer: <\/strong>Burt is a 3 decade veteran in the professional speaking business. After achieving top level cross continental success as an <\/em><\/p>\n

expert-speaker, he has established a reputation for mentoring some of the highest paid speakers in the world. He owns SpeakingBizSuccess.com<\/a>, SpeakingSuccess.com<\/a> and BurtDubin.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Burt helps those he mentors (experts-who-speak) to Position, Package, Promote, and Present<\/strong>* themselves successfully to clients (*He calls<\/p>\n

them the 4Ps<\/strong>). 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

proper perspective, I'll provide more specific details in form of an example.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, Burt contributed an article to a powerful publication titled \"The Most Effective Articles Ever - By The World's Top Marketers<\/a>\". That 574 page ebook features timeless marketing advice from 71 of the world's top marketers - including Jack <\/strong><\/p>\n

Trout, Joe Vitale, Yanik Silver...and Burt Dubin.<\/p>\n

That's ample proof that (in addition to Public Speaking), Burt would be a great resource to learn business marketing from!<\/em><\/p>\n

Full Disclosure: <\/span>I represent Burt as Sole Agent for his products\/services, which means if YOU buy from him, I get paid.<\/h1>\n

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,<\/p>\n

and from directly relating with him.<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

That's why I never tire of CONFIDENTLY recommending him to others.<\/em><\/p>\n

On 4th May 2014, Tayo's 9 year old domain (Spontaneousdevelopment dot com), which hosted his website, was taken over by Aplus.net. <\/em><\/p>\n

Within a few days however, Tayo used his advanced self-taught web development skills to build a SUPERIOR \"reincarnation\" of it the website http:\/\/www.tayosolagbade.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But updates are still ongoing to URLs bearing the old domain name in most of the over 1,000 web pages, and blog posts <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

he's published.<\/p>\n
