The Best Darn Self Improvement Hack Ever
If you have any personal growth goals, you need to join Toastmasters.
“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”
Whether the above quote originated with Buddha or someone else, I have found it to be true in my life, over and over.
In 1985, my boss gave me Earl Nightingale’s mega-successful self-improvement program, Lead the Field. That was my introduction to the field of personal growth. I have been on a journey of self-development ever since.
I always wanted to be a professional speaker ever since my 7th-grade teacher voluntold me to participate in a debate competition.
In 1989, I got serious and bought a franchise for the Success Motivation Institute. It was a costly mistake. You might say it was an investment in Self Improvement because I realized that there was more to being a professional speaker than just standing in front of an audience and speak.
Later, I bought How to Make a Fortune in Public Speaking: Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, by Robert Anthony. No, I didn’t make a fortune, but this time I didn’t lose one either. Not only that, using just one idea from it has changed my life.
