Insider Secret To Delivering Back-To-Back Knock-Out Presentations
A while ago one of my seminar attendees asked, how I prepare myself leading into a presentation. I shared several techniques with him, but he liked this technique the most. I thought I would create a video and share it with all.
On this video I show you how to record your presentations and preserve them on the mp3 recorder for later review. You can even create audio CDs out of it later, I have done that many times. You can pretty much create a bunch of information products that way.
I believe that a simple presentation when practiced and delivered with an impact can not only create customers but could very well become the foundation of a million dollar information marketing empire.

Three Must-Know Stops on the Road to Online Success- Where are You At?
Building a business is no easier than building anything else. There is saying “People Make Choices, Choices Make People”.
Everyone chooses the paths that they take. If your path has led you to business ownership, there are some things that you need to consider. While you could read articles all day about online business and internet marketing, there are three basic tips or stops on your journey that you must be aware of in order to succeed with your business ventures.
It doesn??™t matter whether you have a marketing business or a shoe business, because the basic stops are the same.
Stop #1: The Foundation
Your business, like any strong and formidable building, cannot rise to the top without a solid foundation. You need to learn the basics. The fundamentals of having and running an online business are invaluable to your success. Take the time to learn anything and everything you can, no matter how basic it might seem, because you should always be prepared. Without a good, stable foundation your business will crumble.
Stop #2: The Marketing
Marketing is critical. You need to understand the latest trends, the best marketing tools, and what practices work best for someone in your industry. Some businesses might find great uses for certain tools, while they might not prove to be as effective for your business. Find other businesses in your niche, if possible, and figure out how they??™ve used marketing to become successful in their business. Then, model your own business after theirs, and you will be all the more successful in the end.
Stop #3: The Customer Relationship
When you have a business, you need your customers to succeed. Therefore, building relationships with those customers cannot be forsaken. You must make time to engage with people, in a personal and professional manner. You need to be able to befriend them and earn their trust and respect by presenting yourself as an authority or expert in your niche, but without being stale and informal. Get down to their level and show them why they need you and your business. People buy people these days, so make sure that you??™re worth investing in and there is no reason why you will not prosper
A lot can be written and said but these three stops are critical on the road to business success. There are many other things that you will need to consider, and most of them will end up going back to Traffic Generation, List Building & Conversions. After all, without these three your business will eventually fail.
Eat right, Exercise Regularly, Die Anyway.
No idea who said that..but this title I guess is befitting to this post.
This is my second post of 2010 on this blog. The first post was a gratitude post I wrote on the new years day. It had been 10 days since I did anything with blogging, internet marketing or anything for that matter.
I had great plans of starting 2010. I even announced the dates for my blog monetization workshop for February.
..But it loooked like everything came to a standstill on January 2nd.
That evening I went to my friend Rabin’s house to help him with a computer virus problem he was having. My friend is a doctor and he hardly knows anything about computers.
We were meeting for the first time in an year.
I spent several hours dealing with a spyware problem and finally was able to restore the machine to some acceptable performance. In between, I casually mentioned to him about some rash developing under my left ribcage.
He looked at it asked me two questions
1) Did you ever have chickenpox?
2) Did you have a mild fever lately?
When I said Yes, he instantly concluded it to be a case of Shingles
He immediately called the local Walgreen’s and made sure that I pick up the medication with in hours.
Seventeen years ago while traveling in a train in India, I got chickenpox. At that time I was told there was no medication or cure for it and that I would recover fully with in six months or so, which incidentally I did. Little did I know then that the same chickenpox virus would stay in my body and will resurface in the form of shingles in later part of my life.
Herpes zoster (or simply zoster), commonly known as shingles and also known as zona, is a viral disease characterized by a painful skin rash with blisters in a limited area on one side of the body, often in a stripe. The initial infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV) causes the acute (short-lived) illness chickenpox, and generally occurs in children and young people. Once an episode of chickenpox has resolved, the virus is not eliminated from the body but can go on to cause shingles??”an illness with very different symptoms??”often many years after the initial infection.
Varicella zoster virus can become latent in the nerve cell bodies and less frequently in non-neuronal satellite cells of dorsal root, cranial nerve or autonomic ganglion,[1] without causing any symptoms.[2] Years or decades after a chickenpox infection, the virus may break out of nerve cell bodies and travel down nerve axons to cause viral infection of the skin in the region of the nerve. The virus may spread from one or more ganglia along nerves of an affected segment and infect the corresponding dermatome (an area of skin supplied by one spinal nerve) causing a painful rash.[3][4] Although the rash usually heals within two to four weeks, some sufferers experience residual nerve pain for months or years, a condition called postherpetic neuralgia. Exactly how the virus remains latent in the body, and subsequently re-activates is not understood.[1]
At first the medication I took made me drowsy and weak and for the last 10 days I had been confined to my house
Today I’m fully cured and all the rash is gone. Thank God, I have also not developed any postherpetic neuralgia or pain.
My friend as categorically warned me not to take a lot of stress, cut down my late night internet marketing activities and exercise at least 60 minutes everyday.
As a result of all this, I will be making a lot changes the way I operate. I don’t know the specifics yet but will keep you posted..
It was important that I take the antibiotics in the first 72hours of the appearance of the characteristic rash, which I did. Thanks to my friend Rabin and his computer virus problem without which I would have not gotten the antibiotics timely.
The reason why I shared this personal story with you is to encourage you to take care of yourself first in this new year and many more years to come. If you have made big plans for 2010, make sure they are realistic.
Just don’t kill yourself to create new realities. Live in the present to the fullest and welcome the future without conditions.
I close this post with a poem by Wayne Fields.
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they’ll ease
Your will they’ll mend
And charge you not a shilling.
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990
I hope you enjoyed the poem.. Now leave a comment ..:)-
