This is a great listen about pushing past the fear and finding out about yourself and what you are passionate about. Often we can be afraid to make a change but change can bring us to what we ultimately love, listen in and enjoy.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you have a business idea then you just need to try it, nothing is forever and you can always change things again. Not starting is about the fear of others judging you. There is always someone further on and someone further behind you. When you are the person standing on the stage speaking you need to remember that the audience wants you to do well. No one is born a natural speaker it’s a skill you learn and continue to develop. If you are speaking about something that you are passionate about it can sell the idea to the audience. Getting in-state is a vital element of public speaking, you have to be in the right state and ensure you have a routine in place that support you getting in-state. Public speaking teaches you a lot about yourself. Preparation and practice are vital elements in developing your public speaking Get out of your own way and enjoy it. if you are not enjoying it the audience will feel it Speaking has helped me to find balance and everyone should learn how to do it.   BEST MOMENTS ‘If you have a speech that doesn’t go as expected you need to do another speech as soon as possible’ ‘I got new clients just by opening my mouth and talking’ ‘People use public speaking throughout their businesses to promote what the business Is offering’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property Emerald Fisk LinkedIn Emerald Fisk Instagram   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.
