Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value.
Poor people people think negatively about selling and promotion.
“…Rich people are almost always excellent promoters. They can and are willing to promote their products, their services, and their ideas with passion and enthusiasm.”
— T. Harv Eker
Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, pg. 10
During the January Cash Flow game-day wrap-up, Loraine Boyden shared some Millionaire Mind insights about the importance of business coaches and mentors. She stated that her first business mentor stressed consistent, outstanding communication skills as the basis of any successful business enterprise. Their coach encouraged Loraine and John join a local Toastmasters organization to hone their public speaking skills. Both Loraine and John credited their Toastmaster’s experience with increasing their confidence and improving their speaking and promotional skills and recommended the experience to other Millionaire Mind Intensive graduates.
What is the Toastmasters Experience?
Toastmasters’ members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. Toastmasters have helped men and women improve their communication and leadership skills. Through regular meetings and speaking opportunities at member clubs, people achieve their full potential, realize their dreams, and improve their communication skills.
Most people say they joined Toastmasters because they want to feel more secure when speaking in public - even before a small group. For example, in a departmental meeting, an employee may have real knowledge about the job, but lack the ability to communicate his or her ideas to other members of the group. The Toastmasters program can be tailored to meet your personal objectives. Whether you desire improvement in prepared or impromptu speaking, greater skill in the use of visual aids, experience and knowledge can be gained in the areas that most interest you.
Through participation in the Toastmasters Communication and Leadership program, people from all backgrounds can lose their fear of public speaking, learn to speak effectively, conduct a meeting, manage a department or business, lead, delegate, and motivate.
Experienced professionals and beginning speakers alike can benefit from the Toastmasters’ programs. Whether speaking to the board of directors, your customers, your co-workers or your kids, Toastmasters can help you do it better. You’ll learn and practice in a friendly, comfortable environment with people who are there for the same reason you are—to become better communicators.
Finding a local Toastmaster’s Club
Look for a club near you.
Some Toastmaster clubs meet in the morning, some during lunch, others at night. Find the one that best suits your schedule and then contact them.
