1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING – Beautiful Genius Is Often Created from Crude Beginnings
Abraham Lincoln was renowned for his public speaking prowess. But how many of us know that as a child, lacking access to formal schooling, Lincoln walked miles to borrow books he read, from the library? That disciplined self-studying habit was the key to his eventual success!
It’s the same way few people know that JAY JAY Okocha, Nigeria’s football legend, as a child, practised the dribbling skills that earned him worldwide fame, using mere “sucked oranges”!!
Think about that for a moment…
The little JAY JAY, lacking a proper soccer ball to indulge in his passion, improvised with sucked oranges (left behind by buyers of oranges he hawked!) to practice his football tricks!!!
That crude beginning was what equipped him to etch his name in the history books as one of the greatest professional footballers ever to come out of Africa.
Now, some may doubt the accuracy of the news reports . I don’t, because I also heard JAY JAY say it himself…on radio, that he hawked oranges as a child…
Back then, he was still playing Pro in the English Premier League.
The duty presenter on Larry Izamoje’s Sports Radio 88.9 Brilar FM asked JAY JAY how he felt being so popular with fans in and out of Nigeria, some of who considered him an idol of sorts.
JAY JAY replied (in part) as follows: “Well, JAY JAY Okocha or no JAY JAY Okocha…all I know is JAY JAY Okocha sold oranges on the streets of Lagos“.
This was a superstar who had remained GROUNDED. He knew what had gotten him where he was and he used that SUSTAINED awareness of his humble beginning to STAY FOCUSED and avoid getting carried away with his success, to the point of messing up as a player or in life.
But how many of JAY JAY’s fans know this fact about his pre-stardom years?
How many would have been willing to put in the effort he did to FIGHT his way out of poverty if they had been in a similar situation to his?
Especially if it meant engaging in the HUMBLING vocation of hawking oranges – till they found success in their chosen vocations?
Everyone loves a winner as they say.
But we forget that winners were NOT born winning. If truth be told, there was a time when all they were doing was failing and falling, then getting up to start all over again. Indeed, even now, they still fall and fail, every now and then. The difference is that the occurrences are fewer and their established success makes it easy to get back up and continue.
Most people like the fame and fortune they see a successful person “enjoying”, and want same – but they do NOT want to suffer the same pain or hardships s/he underwent to get it.
Unfortunately, for them, nature abhors imbalance: For every positive, there will be a negative. The Chinese talk about the Ying and the Yang.
It is the way the Creator made the world. Therefore, if you want to win in it, you must be ready to work according to the unbreakable laws he has set to guide success achievement!
Without the experience of failure, or what Napoleon Hill called Bitter Defeat, it is unlikely that a person can achieve what can be called EXCEPTIONAL SUCCESS.
That kind of success is the one that puts you heads and shoulders above most others who do what you do, in a way that makes you get singled out for admiration.
Otherwise, you would simply belong to the “middle class” of successful people!
I liken them to people called “superior inferiors” in Sociology. They are neither failures nor significant successes at what they do. They just generally do enough to get by.
Final Words: Understand that you may have to DELAY GRATIFICATION (i.e. comforts, conveniences and pleasures you would love to have) in favour of your goal driven priorities.
So, stop focussing on the good stuff you see successful people with. Learn to do what they did.
For instance, instead of buying a new laptop with latest “everything”, you may be better off investing in a device (e.g mobile hard drive) to make your ageing, but fully functional laptop more productive. That way you could save funds for other more pressing needs.
The result may be that your peers brandish better looking “laptops” when you meet, and you may find yourself being teased about your “old” laptop, by them.
That should not bug you, however, because if you DELIVER results they need, your clients would NOT care how old or ugly your laptop looks.
Since they are the ones who matter most to your success, you have nothing to worry about. As they reward you, you WILL become better off!

“If you want to achieve sustainable success in business (especially in a volatile market place like Nigeria), it’s in your best interest to develop interest in current affairs and politics, because those are the two key ingredients that really keep this country from having a stable sociopolitical climate.
And for as long as that stable sociopolitical climate does not exist, every person running a business will probably have to sleep with one eye open.” – Tayo K. Solagbade

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.
