Hi Dynamic Speaker,

I attended Mark Victor Hansen’s 3-day Mega Speakers Seminar
November 8-10 and I wanted to share some of the highlights with
you.  You noticed I said you are a “dynamic speaker” in the above
salutation. You might think, “I’m not interested in being a Speaker.”
There are many reasons why you should be one if you own a
business, are an author, a coach or a consultant.

If you are an entrepreneur, writer or author, you must put
“Speaker” on your business cards.  Words4Money.com supports
Speakers with our words and articles on speaking.

It was lots of fun meeting many of the 500 entrepreneurs at this
seminar. All at different levels of their business: From
multimillionaires established in their businesses, to start up
companies, to those thinking about being a speaker or building a
business.  You can get some great ideas below by some of the
speakers that presented at this Mega Speakers Seminar.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
====================

“Speaking connects hearts and minds and moves people to action,”
Mark Victor Hansen said as he opened the 3-day Mega Speakers’
Seminar.

====================
REPORT ON MARK VICTOR HANSEN -
Mega Speakers’ Seminar - November 8-10, 2008
====================

Ann McIndo, a book coach, said that a book allows you to: teach,
consult and make a difference in people’s lives. You can
promote, market and sell your services with a book.

So there are two things that a small business owner must do: Be
a speaker and create a book, a booklet, or an e-book.

Mark Victor Hansen’s Seminar was dynamic, motivational,
educational, and demonstrates that you are not alone in your
quest for success as a speaker, author and business owner. You
could make many new friends and develop alliances.

Words4Money also is developed to help you make online friends,
promote your products and articles and develop alliances.  We
are also here to share information that we feel will benefit
your personal and business success.

In that respect, here are some of the highlights of the Mega
Speakers’ Seminar. We hope you get some new ideas from them.
Share these ideas with your business colleagues and identify
where you can move to the next level.

========================
TRAITS OF A SPEECH
========================

Mark Victor Hansen identified these traits that a speech must
have:

1.  What is your voice?  Great speakers inspire us such as
Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” message, and J.F. Kennedy
promising the American people that we would go to the moon in 10
years even though at the time the scientists did not have the
answer.

2.  What is your unique message? Use compelling stories from
your life and others. Give a compelling delivery that inspires
people to take action.  Tell yourself, “My message of
______________________  is important and it will

change lives by_________________________.”

3.  Why am I the one to share my message? Inspire people to your
ideas that they were not previously exposed. Tell yourself, “I
am the only one qualified to share it because
___________________________________”.

4. Who is your audience? Don’t say everyone.  Identify your
ideal client and focus your speech on them. Be the voice that
people want to hear.

========================
SPEAKING TIPS
========================

1.  Play full out. Keep your energy and enthusiasm high. Play
some positive, enthusiastic music while you are reading this.
2.  Get out of your comfort zone.
3.  Take advantage of any resources that are available to you.
4.  Seize opportunities.
5.  Have fun and do some planning as you read this.
6.  Do one thing a week that moves you towards being a speaker.

GREAT TIP: It’s not your content that people will remember; it’s
how people FEEL about YOU that they will remember.

Have conversations with your audience. Talk to them like they
were your friends. Your job as a world-class communicator is to
move and inspire your audience. Inspire them to do business with
YOU.
