The number one fear in the world is public speaking. People fear getting up on a stage more than they do death. How crazy is that?
If you want to be an entrepreneur and business owner you have to learn how to speak. It’s a far better way to make an impact by getting in front of a group, rather than doing it one by one.
No matter what your industry, there’s chances for you to speak and gain more customers.
Unfortunately, however, the only way to get good at it is to actually do it. You can prep for weeks or even months, but without being in front of actual human beings you’ll never truly know what works and what doesn’t.
Luckily there is a safe way to do this, without getting in front of high end clients on your first try. Our guest on today’s special episode of Result Radio is Jacki Mclenaghan. Jacki has created a retreat just for public speaking.
It’s a great way to get up in front of a supportive group, and see what is or isn’t working. You get help from some of the best speakers, and seen by some important agents looking to book speakers as well.
Download this episode today to learn more about public speaking, how to get over your fears, and why you should be getting up on stage today!
