 SOW 41 – Presentations Like the Pros with Jean Hamilton | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 29:19

Join Jason Hartman and Jean Hamilton, founder of Speaking Results, for an entertaining discussion on developing and honing your skills as a speaker, presenter, or storyteller.  When you’re in front of your audience, you want to feel like there’s no place you would rather be than right there telling your story and inspiring others.  Jean shares many NLP tips to overcome public speaking fears and build confidence in your own abilities, offering fun training techniques and insights where you can improve your body language to help your audience see you, hear you, and absorb your message.  For more details, visit :  http://www.SpeakingofWealth.com/category/podcast (http://www.SpeakingofWealth.com/category/podcast)/. When Jean Hamilton founded Speaking Results in 1998, it was the natural next step in her career. Early on, she began to develop and perfect her skills as a performer and artist, working for 15 years in modern dance, mime, and theater with various professional companies that toured extensively in the U.S. and Pacific Rim. After this successful career, Jean pursued a new direction studying Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). She was soon hooked by what this discipline could accomplish and began using the tools of NLP to make profound, positive changes. She pursued her NLP studies and training with the same fervor and energy she brought to the stage. In 1993, certified as an NLP Master, Jean opened her private counseling practice. As satisfying as she found working one-on-one with clients, Jean realized that she liked being on stage and began to explore public speaking. She started this endeavor through a local chapter of the Toastmaster's Club. She quickly began winning awards and trophies for both her humorous and poignant presentations, drawing on the rich material of her life. Jean soon graduated into the professional world of keynotes and National Speakers Association meetings, where she saw scores of the country's best presenters. The more pros she watched, the more she realized how much her current work drew on the performance skills she had honed earlier in her dance and theater days. She saw how she could combine these skills with the personal development tools of NLP to create powerful and profound presentations. Jean recalls with real pleasure the "Aha!" moment when she realized that these skills could serve others as well, and Speaking Results was born.

 SOW 29 – Working Writer Happy Writer: How To Build A Thriving Writing Business From Nothing Business | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 45:01

Jason Hartman talks with Sue LaPointe, author of: Working Writer Happy Writer: How To Build A Thriving Writing Business From Nothing Business. More at: http://speakingofwealth.com/category/podcast/ (http://speakingofwealth.com/category/podcast/). The only happy writers out there are the ones who are working! Finding writing clients and projects isn't a matter of luck - it's just a matter of being shown how. In Sue's own words... How do I know about this? In May of 2006, I paid a lot of money to get an incredible business coach. My wonderful coach held my hand and walked me through the whole process of building a thriving writing business. Within less than six months, I'd done it. And there's no reason you can't do it, too. You'll learn about: The books I read. Each one contributes a major piece of wisdom, direction, or strategy. The resources I use. No more trial and error for you! Here are the software, sites, and other goodies I use every day. Write Happy - a free newsletter filled with the hottest tips for growing your business. (Sign up using the box in the right margin.) Informative teleseminars on topics including: What should I charge? How do I find clients? How can I be sure to get paid? How do I write a winning proposal? What's an ebook, and how do I do one? What's ghostwriting, and can I do it? Writing for search engines Writing for academic publishers How can I get into information marketing? and more! (let me know what else you'd like to learn about) Lots of would-be writers make the same mistake I did. They think the only way to earn a living as a writer is to write a best-selling novel, like Steven King or JK Rowling. What a bunch of hooey! Sure, that'd be great - but the odds are less than favorable. Or, they think the only way is to write articles and submit them on spec to magazines. Baloney! Again, very glamorous and all, but who wants to write on spec? No way! Your life as a freelance writer can be all that you dream of - if you learn how to do it right, so it doesn't become an unsatisfying nightmare. The key is to find high-quality clients who pay what your expertise is truly worth, and to stay as busy as you'd like to stay. It's definitely not a get rich quick scheme, because you'll have to actually do the work! But if you do, you'll build for yourself a business that's very rewarding.
