True to the title, “Why Product Demonstrators Succeed In Good Times Or Bad,” is no empty claim, and I can back it up. My name is John Milton Lawrence and I&#39;m the founder of, “Product Demonstrators Workshop,” the premier trainer for, “As Seen On TV Product Demonstrators.” Go to your local Grocery or department store, warehouse store, and wherever you turn you will see people of all ages, young and old demonstrating in-store, as seen on TV products. All the while remember we are supposed to be in the greatest economic downturn in modern history, further example&#39;s;                                                                                                                                           * go to the state or local fair, in any country                                                                    * go to any trade show                                                                       * everyone demonstrates                                                                                                                                          * all ages, all races, all genders                                                                    * talking to people and demonstrating products                                                                   It doesn&#39;t matter what the economy is doing, because Commerce goes on, in Good times or Bad.              You don&#39;t need a college degree or even a high school diploma, but you do need the ability to talk to people, the ability to communicate clearly and effectively. Now you can approach this as a job, and get hired as an employee, but why settle for a piece of the pie, when You Can Have It All. Promote yourself to the Ownership and Presidency of your own business. As an independent contractor, take only the jobs you are interested in, and make a fortune in the process. In my New ebook and audio,                                 “How To Earn $100,000 As An As Seen On TV Product Demonstrator,” I show you how, no more being unemployed or under employed. Shutter the myth that you need to get a job working for someone else and making them rich, the only job security there is, happens to be the security you create for yourself. Profits are better than Wages, wages will help pay the bills, profits will make you rich, every child should be taught from an early age, to aspire to own two bicycle’s,                                                                  “One To Ride And One To Rent.”  Get your electronic copy or digital audio of,“How To Earn $100,000 As An As Seen On TV Product Demonstrator,” and never be out of work again, you have nothing to lose, and Everything To Gain.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/feeds/788018004322948431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/07/why-product-demonstrators-succeed-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/788018004322948431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/788018004322948431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/07/why-product-demonstrators-succeed-in.html' title='WHY PRODUCT DEMONSTRATORS SUCCEED IN GOOD TIMES OE BAD'/><author><name>j</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02298927095051294123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHr4gI6Gv6hIiFhb3v3e0vQzzZv_stAXgO9Na8UKvqrXSsjKtTFYBSZM_AQU79tTrl5AVSp6PGt1DC2WaRN3JEAhvgbjIKTG4Q7EG56o8mve6fZ43WCACIyzPUTvzCLfM/s220/redjacket.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ubG57YBut4WZ3Onooj70wsBXUpkeIVpjbhDc_Igg39vKeW1174nF70SPP1GvwcekT6HLlKasGBClq2MW3vTRTyIypP71wt0C6jPx_cIEgg1mnTydh__wfJvovCqDVLdA06K-RiFACog/s72-c/me.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717446612048601469.post-6659593840433721196</id><published>2011-07-08T06:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-08T06:22:20.112-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sell To Grow Rich</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL-0lbZTgDjA7dx62RvR3lbpVUvQQEsMx-Eo3ZwsFTiy8f1chnL5uK3nPFMGH3eDAD4yBcuXOFAGS_qefXYDvZne7JKsgYHeB_td0q-7JDgeY3O5fTOI7x5y6h2QSjyxyzNaYOqGTY9h4/s1600/sellgrowrich.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; width=&quot;152&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL-0lbZTgDjA7dx62RvR3lbpVUvQQEsMx-Eo3ZwsFTiy8f1chnL5uK3nPFMGH3eDAD4yBcuXOFAGS_qefXYDvZne7JKsgYHeB_td0q-7JDgeY3O5fTOI7x5y6h2QSjyxyzNaYOqGTY9h4/s200/sellgrowrich.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For me this book is an absolute labor of love and as the title denotes, “Sell To Grow Rich,” is not an empty claim but one that speaks to the very heart of selling as a profession. In Og Madino&#39;s best selling book, “The Greatest Salesman In The World,” he say&#39;s that in no other profession is there an opportunity to go from poverty to great wealth, than that of selling, and boy is he right. As to whether or not salesman are made or born is a question for the beholder, but if you know my story, sales literally saved my life as an at risk young man, growing up on the mean streets of Harlem, New York who was deep in poverty, and both busted and disgusted. I was also a soon to be father at age 17 with a child on the way. Salesman as a whole have not been given a fair shake, because of a few dishonest individuals who&#39;s chief aim was to defraud the customer rather than help the customer make an intelligent buying decision, at the same time delivering to him or her, great value for the money they have spent. In this book were only going to focus on the positive aspects of selling, because the bottom line is that we are all salesman, selling ourselves, our idea&#39;s, to others from, our family members to the stranger on the street. If you are in a relationship married or unmarried, you had to sell yourself to the guy or girl of your dreams, so the bottom line is that we are all salesman, and the only difference between you and someone else is whether or not you sell as a profession, to make a living, to earn your money, to pay your bills. My aim in writing this book was to give you an inside view, of the life of a salesman and to show you that they are your neighbors, your pastor, your doctor and yourself, in a day and time when companies are doing massive layoffs, and many people are truly suffering during one of the greatest economic downturns in modern history, don&#39;t be a victim of circumstances, take your own destiny in your hands and “Sell To Grow Rich.&quot;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/feeds/6659593840433721196/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/07/sell-to-grow-rich.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/6659593840433721196'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/6659593840433721196'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/07/sell-to-grow-rich.html' title='Sell To Grow Rich'/><author><name>j</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02298927095051294123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHr4gI6Gv6hIiFhb3v3e0vQzzZv_stAXgO9Na8UKvqrXSsjKtTFYBSZM_AQU79tTrl5AVSp6PGt1DC2WaRN3JEAhvgbjIKTG4Q7EG56o8mve6fZ43WCACIyzPUTvzCLfM/s220/redjacket.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL-0lbZTgDjA7dx62RvR3lbpVUvQQEsMx-Eo3ZwsFTiy8f1chnL5uK3nPFMGH3eDAD4yBcuXOFAGS_qefXYDvZne7JKsgYHeB_td0q-7JDgeY3O5fTOI7x5y6h2QSjyxyzNaYOqGTY9h4/s72-c/sellgrowrich.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717446612048601469.post-2001558544731557325</id><published>2011-06-19T17:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-16T19:47:22.186-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How To Earn $100,000 As An As Seen On TV Product Demonstrator</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9HAoDXHFJ_mMfiZRPhAk2B8KOuA8puw9Jzjf2i16_hkIO01JiVHhdDG2CZqUezv2NrmRL0cMdJ7daczC8xoCxYklTHBcF70wMvOJIuwkDfP1YTKlTHJRT2jIET7WWBdykHQaRCXvAOY/s1600/pitchbusiness.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; width=&quot;152&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9HAoDXHFJ_mMfiZRPhAk2B8KOuA8puw9Jzjf2i16_hkIO01JiVHhdDG2CZqUezv2NrmRL0cMdJ7daczC8xoCxYklTHBcF70wMvOJIuwkDfP1YTKlTHJRT2jIET7WWBdykHQaRCXvAOY/s200/pitchbusiness.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I dropped out of high school in my Jr. year to go to work and help my Mom. With no real skills to speak of I went from dead end job to dead end job. I met a young lady, who would shortly become my teenage bride and at age 17, we were expecting our first child, needless to say we were not ready to be parents, but I did the best I could to provide, things got so bad that we had to move into my brother in-laws attic in Queens, New York. Most of these dead end jobs didn&#39;t last too long, and I can remember this sweet little old lady at the Employment office and her name was Mrs. Jacobs, she kinda took a special interest in me, and would always say as she was sending me out on a job interview, John you need a skill, and she was right. After years and years of dead end low paying Jobs, God must have heard my prayers because one day when I got home from work, my wife approached me excitedly saying she met this girl at the Woolworths store down on main street and this girl was demonstrating this product in the store and asked her if she wanted a Job, my wife told her that she didn&#39;t think she could do it, but she knew someone who could, and that someone was me. I went down the next day got the Job and it was paying $500 dollars a week, I couldn&#39;t believe it, that job and the opportunity it provided in the way of money and other benefits was astounding, for me it was the closest thing to a miracle in my life. We called it the Pitch business as I marketed various as seen on TV, products through in store demonstrations. This was one of the easiest ways of earning money, I&#39;d ever seen, we teach you how, in our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.productdemonstratorsworkshop.com&quot;&gt;Product Demonstrators Workshop&lt;/a&gt;.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/feeds/2001558544731557325/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-earn-100000-as-as-seen-on-tv.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/2001558544731557325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/2001558544731557325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-earn-100000-as-as-seen-on-tv.html' title='How To Earn $100,000 As An As Seen On TV Product Demonstrator'/><author><name>j</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02298927095051294123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHr4gI6Gv6hIiFhb3v3e0vQzzZv_stAXgO9Na8UKvqrXSsjKtTFYBSZM_AQU79tTrl5AVSp6PGt1DC2WaRN3JEAhvgbjIKTG4Q7EG56o8mve6fZ43WCACIyzPUTvzCLfM/s220/redjacket.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9HAoDXHFJ_mMfiZRPhAk2B8KOuA8puw9Jzjf2i16_hkIO01JiVHhdDG2CZqUezv2NrmRL0cMdJ7daczC8xoCxYklTHBcF70wMvOJIuwkDfP1YTKlTHJRT2jIET7WWBdykHQaRCXvAOY/s72-c/pitchbusiness.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717446612048601469.post-5967440640850527287</id><published>2011-06-06T09:00:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-06T09:00:41.239-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Three Feet From Gold</title><content type='html'>THREE FEET FROM GOLD&lt;br /&gt;
One of the most common causes of failure is the habit &lt;br /&gt;
of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary &lt;br /&gt;
defeat. Every person is guilty of this mistake at one &lt;br /&gt;
time or another. &lt;br /&gt;
An uncle of R. U. Darby was caught by the ‘gold &lt;br /&gt;
fever’ in the gold-rush days, and went west to DIG&lt;br /&gt;
AND GROW RICH. He had never heard that more gold has &lt;br /&gt;
been mined from the brains of men than has ever been &lt;br /&gt;
taken from the earth. He staked a claim and went to &lt;br /&gt;
work with pick and shovel. The going was hard, but &lt;br /&gt;
his lust for gold was definite.&lt;br /&gt;
After weeks of labor, he was rewarded by the &lt;br /&gt;
discovery of the shining ore. He needed machinery to&lt;br /&gt;
bring the ore to the surface. Quietly, he covered up&lt;br /&gt;
the mine, retraced his footsteps to his home in&lt;br /&gt;
Williamsburg, Maryland, told his relatives and a few&lt;br /&gt;
neighbors of the ‘strike.’ They got together money &lt;br /&gt;
for the needed machinery, had it shipped. The uncle &lt;br /&gt;
and Darby went back to work the mine. &lt;br /&gt;
The first car of ore was mined, and shipped to a &lt;br /&gt;
smelter. The returns proved they had one of the &lt;br /&gt;
richest mines in Colorado! A few more cars of that &lt;br /&gt;
ore would clear the debts. Then would come the big &lt;br /&gt;
killing in profits. &lt;br /&gt;
Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Darby and &lt;br /&gt;
Uncle! Then something happened! The vein of gold ore &lt;br /&gt;
disappeared! They had come to the end of the rainbow, &lt;br /&gt;
and the pot of gold was no longer there! They drilled &lt;br /&gt;
on, desperately trying to pick up the vein again— all to no avail. &lt;br /&gt;
Finally, they decided to QUIT. &lt;br /&gt;
They sold the machinery to a junk man for a few &lt;br /&gt;
hundred dollars, and took the train back home. Some &lt;br /&gt;
‘junk’ men are dumb, but not this one! He called in a &lt;br /&gt;
mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little &lt;br /&gt;
calculating. The engineer advised that the project &lt;br /&gt;
had failed, because the owners were not familiar with &lt;br /&gt;
‘fault lines.’ His calculations showed that the vein &lt;br /&gt;
would be found JUST THREE FEET FROM WHERE THE DARBYS &lt;br /&gt;
HAD STOPPED DRILLING! That is exactly where it was &lt;br /&gt;
found!&lt;br /&gt;
The ‘Junk’ man took millions of dollars in ore from &lt;br /&gt;
the mine, because he knew enough to seek expert &lt;br /&gt;
counsel before giving up. &lt;br /&gt;
Most of the money which went into the machinery was&lt;br /&gt;
procured through the efforts of R. U. Darby, who was &lt;br /&gt;
then a very young man. The money came from his&lt;br /&gt;
relatives and neighbors, because of their faith in&lt;br /&gt;
him. He paid back every dollar of it, although he was &lt;br /&gt;
years in doing so. &lt;br /&gt;
Long afterward, Mr. Darby recouped his loss many &lt;br /&gt;
times over, when he made the discovery that DESIRE &lt;br /&gt;
can be transmuted into gold. The discovery came after &lt;br /&gt;
he went into the business of selling life insurance.&lt;br /&gt;
Remembering that he lost a huge fortune, because he &lt;br /&gt;
STOPPED three feet from gold, Darby profited by the&lt;br /&gt;
experience in his chosen work, by the simple method &lt;br /&gt;
of saying to himself, ‘I stopped three feet from &lt;br /&gt;
gold, but I will never stop because men say &#39;no&#39; when &lt;br /&gt;
I ask them to buy insurance.’ &lt;br /&gt;
Darby is one of a small group of fewer than fifty men &lt;br /&gt;
who sell more than a million dollars in life &lt;br /&gt;
insurance annually. He owes his ‘stickability’ to the &lt;br /&gt;
lesson he learned from his ‘quitability’ in the gold &lt;br /&gt;
mining business. &lt;br /&gt;
Before success comes in any man&#39;s life, he is sure to &lt;br /&gt;
meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some &lt;br /&gt;
failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and &lt;br /&gt;
most logical thing to do is to QUIT. That is exactly &lt;br /&gt;
what the majority of men do.&lt;br /&gt;
More than five hundred of the most successful men &lt;br /&gt;
this country has ever known, told the author their &lt;br /&gt;
greatest success came just one step beyond the point at                                                 which defeat had overtaken them. Failure is a &lt;br /&gt;
trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It &lt;br /&gt;
takes great delight in tripping one when success is &lt;br /&gt;
almost within reach.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/feeds/5967440640850527287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/06/three-feet-from-gold.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/5967440640850527287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/5967440640850527287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/06/three-feet-from-gold.html' title='Three Feet From Gold'/><author><name>j</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02298927095051294123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHr4gI6Gv6hIiFhb3v3e0vQzzZv_stAXgO9Na8UKvqrXSsjKtTFYBSZM_AQU79tTrl5AVSp6PGt1DC2WaRN3JEAhvgbjIKTG4Q7EG56o8mve6fZ43WCACIyzPUTvzCLfM/s220/redjacket.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717446612048601469.post-6891439024819388869</id><published>2011-05-31T15:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-31T15:42:57.568-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I Am The Master Of My Fate</title><content type='html'>YOU ARE ‘THE MASTER OF YOUR FATE, THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR &lt;br /&gt;
SOUL,’ BECAUSE…&lt;br /&gt;
When Henley wrote the prophetic lines, ‘I am the &lt;br /&gt;
Master of my Fate, I am the Captain of my Soul,’ he &lt;br /&gt;
should have informed us that we are the Masters of&lt;br /&gt;
our Fate, the Captains of our Souls, because we have &lt;br /&gt;
the power to control our thoughts. &lt;br /&gt;
He should have told us that the ether in which this &lt;br /&gt;
little earth floats, in which we move and have our &lt;br /&gt;
being, is a form of energy moving at an inconceivably &lt;br /&gt;
high rate of vibration, and that the ether is filled &lt;br /&gt;
with a form of universal power which ADAPTS itself to &lt;br /&gt;
the nature of the thoughts we hold in our minds; and &lt;br /&gt;
INFLUENCES us, in natural ways, to transmute our &lt;br /&gt;
thoughts into their physical equivalent.&lt;br /&gt;
If the poet had told us of this great truth, we would &lt;br /&gt;
know WHY IT IS that we are the Masters of our Fate, &lt;br /&gt;
the Captains of our Souls. He should have told us, &lt;br /&gt;
with great emphasis, that this power makes no attempt &lt;br /&gt;
to discriminate between destructive thoughts and &lt;br /&gt;
constructive thoughts, that it will urge us to &lt;br /&gt;
translate into physical reality thoughts of poverty, &lt;br /&gt;
just as quickly as it will influence us to act upon &lt;br /&gt;
thoughts of riches. &lt;br /&gt;
He should have told us, too, that our brains become &lt;br /&gt;
magnetized with the dominating thoughts which we hold                                                       in our minds, and, by means with which no man is &lt;br /&gt;
familiar, these ‘magnets’ attract to us the forces, &lt;br /&gt;
the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize &lt;br /&gt;
with the nature of our dominating thoughts. &lt;br /&gt;
He should have told us, that before we can accumulate &lt;br /&gt;
riches in great abundance, we must magnetize our &lt;br /&gt;
minds with intense DESIRE for riches, that we must &lt;br /&gt;
become ‘money conscious until the DESIRE for money &lt;br /&gt;
drives us to create definite plans for acquiring it.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/feeds/6891439024819388869/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/05/i-am-master-of-my-fate.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/6891439024819388869'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/6891439024819388869'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/05/i-am-master-of-my-fate.html' title='I Am The Master Of My Fate'/><author><name>j</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02298927095051294123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHr4gI6Gv6hIiFhb3v3e0vQzzZv_stAXgO9Na8UKvqrXSsjKtTFYBSZM_AQU79tTrl5AVSp6PGt1DC2WaRN3JEAhvgbjIKTG4Q7EG56o8mve6fZ43WCACIyzPUTvzCLfM/s220/redjacket.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717446612048601469.post-6118140315523318784</id><published>2011-05-29T07:12:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-29T07:12:59.442-07:00</updated><title type='text'>They Can Because They Think They Can</title><content type='html'>‘If you think you are beaten, you are,&lt;br /&gt;

famous V-8 motor. He chose to build an engine with &lt;br /&gt;
the entire eight cylinders cast in one block, and &lt;br /&gt;
instructed his engineers to produce a design for the &lt;br /&gt;
engine. The design was placed on paper, but the &lt;br /&gt;
engineers agreed, to a man, that it was simply &lt;br /&gt;
impossible to cast an eight-cylinder gas engine block &lt;br /&gt;
in one piece.&lt;br /&gt;
Ford said, ‘Produce it anyway.’&lt;br /&gt;
‘But,’ they replied, ‘it&#39;s impossible!’&lt;br /&gt;
‘Go ahead,’ Ford commanded, ‘and stay on the job &lt;br /&gt;
until you succeed no matter how much time is &lt;br /&gt;
required.’ &lt;br /&gt;
The engineers went ahead. There was nothing else for &lt;br /&gt;
them to do, if they were to remain on the Ford staff. &lt;br /&gt;
Six months went by, nothing happened. Another six &lt;br /&gt;
months passed, and still nothing happened. The&lt;br /&gt;
engineers tried every conceivable plan to carry out&lt;br /&gt;
the orders, but the thing seemed out of the question; &lt;br /&gt;
‘impossible!’&lt;br /&gt;
At the end of the year Ford checked with his &lt;br /&gt;
engineers, and again they informed him they had found &lt;br /&gt;
no way to carry out his orders. &lt;br /&gt;
‘Go right ahead,’ said Ford, ‘I want it, and I&#39;ll &lt;br /&gt;
have it.’&lt;br /&gt;
They went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke ofmagic, the secret was discovered. &lt;br /&gt;

Shortly after Mr. Darby received his degree from the &lt;br /&gt;
‘University of Hard Knocks,’ and had decided to&lt;br /&gt;
profit by his experience in the gold mining business, &lt;br /&gt;
he had the good fortune to be present on an occasion &lt;br /&gt;
that proved to him that ‘No’ does not necessarily &lt;br /&gt;
mean no. &lt;br /&gt;
One afternoon he was helping his uncle grind wheat in &lt;br /&gt;
an old fashioned mill. The uncle operated a large &lt;br /&gt;
farm on which a number of colored sharecrop farmers &lt;br /&gt;
lived. Quietly, the door was opened, and a small &lt;br /&gt;
colored child, the daughter of a tenant, walked in&lt;br /&gt;
and took her place near the door.&lt;br /&gt;
The uncle looked up, saw the child, and barked at her &lt;br /&gt;
roughly, ‘what do you want?’&lt;br /&gt;
Meekly, the child replied, ‘My mammy say send her &lt;br /&gt;
fifty cents.’ &lt;br /&gt;
‘I&#39;ll not do it,’ the uncle retorted, ‘Now you run on &lt;br /&gt;
home.’&lt;br /&gt;
‘Yas sah,’ the child replied. But she did not move. &lt;br /&gt;
The uncle went ahead with his work, so busily engaged &lt;br /&gt;
that he did not pay enough attention to the child to&lt;br /&gt;
observe that she did not leave. When he looked up and &lt;br /&gt;
saw her still standing there, he yelled at her, ‘I&lt;br /&gt;
told you to go on home! Now go, or I&#39;ll take a switch &lt;br /&gt;
to you.’ &lt;br /&gt;
The little girl said ‘yas sah,’ but she did not budge &lt;br /&gt;
an inch.&lt;br /&gt;
The uncle dropped a sack of grain he was about to &lt;br /&gt;
pour into the mill hopper, picked up a barrel stave, &lt;br /&gt;
and started toward the child with an expression on&lt;br /&gt;
his face that indicated trouble. &lt;br /&gt;
Darby held his breath. He was certain he was about to &lt;br /&gt;
witness a murder. He knew his uncle had a fierce &lt;br /&gt;
temper. He knew that colored children were not&lt;br /&gt;
supposed to defy white people in that part of the &lt;br /&gt;
country. When the uncle reached the spot where the child was&lt;br /&gt;
standing, she quickly stepped forward one step, &lt;br /&gt;
looked up into his eyes, and screamed at the top of &lt;br /&gt;
her shrill voice, ‘MY MAMMY&#39;S GOTTA HAVE THAT FIFTY &lt;br /&gt;
CENTS!’ &lt;br /&gt;
The uncle stopped, looked at her for a minute, then &lt;br /&gt;
slowly laid the barrel stave on the floor, put his &lt;br /&gt;
hand in his pocket, took out half a dollar, and gave &lt;br /&gt;
it to her. &lt;br /&gt;
The child took the money and slowly backed toward the &lt;br /&gt;
door, never taking her eyes off the man whom she had &lt;br /&gt;
just conquered. After she had gone, the uncle sat &lt;br /&gt;
down on a box and looked out the window into space &lt;br /&gt;
for more than ten minutes. He was pondering, with &lt;br /&gt;
awe, over the whipping he had just taken. &lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Darby, too, was doing some thinking. That was the &lt;br /&gt;
first time in all his experience that he had seen a &lt;br /&gt;
colored child deliberately master an adult white &lt;br /&gt;
person. How did she do it? What happened to his uncle &lt;br /&gt;
that caused him to lose his fierceness and become as&lt;br /&gt;
docile as a lamb? What strange power did this child &lt;br /&gt;
use that made her master over her superior? These and &lt;br /&gt;
other similar questions flashed into Darby&#39;s mind, &lt;br /&gt;
but he did not find the answer until years later, &lt;br /&gt;
when he told me the story. &lt;br /&gt;
Strangely, the story of this unusual experience was&lt;br /&gt;
told to the author in the old mill, on the very spot &lt;br /&gt;
where the uncle took his whipping. Strangely, too, I&lt;br /&gt;
had devoted nearly a quarter of a century to the &lt;br /&gt;
study of the power which enabled an ignorant, &lt;br /&gt;
illiterate colored child to conquer an intelligent &lt;br /&gt;
man.&lt;br /&gt;
As we stood there in that musty old mill, Mr. Darby &lt;br /&gt;
repeated the story of the unusual conquest, and &lt;br /&gt;
finished by asking, ‘What can you make of it? What &lt;br /&gt;
strange power did that child use, that so completely &lt;br /&gt;
whipped my uncle?’ &lt;br /&gt;
The answer to his question will be found in the &lt;br /&gt;

Before going into Fear less public speaking you&#39;ll notice I&#39;ve&lt;br /&gt;
broken up the word&lt;br /&gt;
fearless into two words fear-less, the reason being if we go right&lt;br /&gt;
to the root of what we&lt;br /&gt;
fear and learn to fear-less, then we are better equipped to deal&lt;br /&gt;
with whatever may be at&lt;br /&gt;
hand, whether it&#39;s making a speech or going after our dreams, which&lt;br /&gt;
up to this point, we&lt;br /&gt;
have let fear keep us from striving to achieve it. It may be the&lt;br /&gt;
fear of failure, it may be&lt;br /&gt;
the fear of public humiliation or whatever, was it Roosevelt who&lt;br /&gt;
said the only thing we&lt;br /&gt;
have to fear, is fear itself. He had a keen understanding that most&lt;br /&gt;
fears were largely,&lt;br /&gt;
rooted in our imagination, the French emperor Napoleon said that&lt;br /&gt;
Imagination was a&lt;br /&gt;
stronger force than will power, case in point, think about a habit&lt;br /&gt;
like smoking, we make&lt;br /&gt;
the resolve to stop smoking, and by the sheer force of our wills,&lt;br /&gt;
we stop for a week or&lt;br /&gt;
maybe two, then one night your watching a program on TV, and the&lt;br /&gt;
character your&lt;br /&gt;
watching is puffing on a cigarette, you try to resist, by will&lt;br /&gt;
power but as the character&lt;br /&gt;
draws on the cigarette, and blows out the smoke he or she makes it&lt;br /&gt;
look so good, that&lt;br /&gt;
your imagination starts to, bring up images when you were smoking,&lt;br /&gt;
and before you&lt;br /&gt;
know it, you have given in, and reached for a smoke, so much for&lt;br /&gt;
your resolve not to&lt;br /&gt;
smoke. We as human being are present in the community of self, the&lt;br /&gt;
intended ruler is the&lt;br /&gt;
will, but the will can be hijacked by the imagination, the&lt;br /&gt;
emotions, the flesh or whatever,&lt;br /&gt;
so it is our job to make sure the intended ruler of self is the&lt;br /&gt;
will power, by doing this you&lt;br /&gt;
will be in the position to manage your thoughts, thus managing your&lt;br /&gt;
fears.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/feeds/5574040638500952190/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-to-master-your-fear-of-public.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/5574040638500952190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/5574040638500952190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-to-master-your-fear-of-public.html' title='How to Master Your Fear of Public Speaking'/><author><name>j</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02298927095051294123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHr4gI6Gv6hIiFhb3v3e0vQzzZv_stAXgO9Na8UKvqrXSsjKtTFYBSZM_AQU79tTrl5AVSp6PGt1DC2WaRN3JEAhvgbjIKTG4Q7EG56o8mve6fZ43WCACIyzPUTvzCLfM/s220/redjacket.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOSAFYiDeB7ded_AzsNRfVSZbEjBOwTK1gEn-w2vYhInr1M0sxskHgrYCouLIPPS6IlAOyC8G6-rTHNfGWwflaWry0fJgDKepij4oWvsRTc8jNB6-GPrjdIxVFGUxlyEiKYADg5yFtFjk/s72-c/secrets.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717446612048601469.post-2872239039984346054</id><published>2011-02-24T14:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-05-13T22:20:46.508-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="becoming a fearless public speaking"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="john milton lawrence"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="speak or get benched"/><title type='text'>Beginners Guide to fearless public speaking</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

You can approach public speaking in two ways, one is Inspiration, there are many public speakers who with nothing more than the topic, speak directly from the heart , meaning whatever inspired words come to mind about their particular topic, that&#39;s what they speak on.Now all of us are not so lucky, because when were nervous, nothing that makes sense, comes out of our mouth&#39;s. Most people use the second approach, taken from an actors training workshop that says&quot;security is in knowing your lines&quot;know what it is you want to say, write it down and stand before a mirror and practice it, then practice the practicing, then when it comes time to give your presentation you will deliver it like a pro.Above all remember as a public speaker, you are a teacher, imparting useful &lt;b&gt;information&lt;/b&gt; to your audience, so the next time you are called on to make a speech, fear less, and speak more, with confidence, and know more than anything, that your audience wants&lt;br /&gt;
you to succeed.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/feeds/2872239039984346054/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/02/beginners-guide-to-fearless-public.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/2872239039984346054'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/2872239039984346054'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/02/beginners-guide-to-fearless-public.html' title='Beginners Guide to fearless public speaking'/><author><name>j</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02298927095051294123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHr4gI6Gv6hIiFhb3v3e0vQzzZv_stAXgO9Na8UKvqrXSsjKtTFYBSZM_AQU79tTrl5AVSp6PGt1DC2WaRN3JEAhvgbjIKTG4Q7EG56o8mve6fZ43WCACIyzPUTvzCLfM/s220/redjacket.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEKSuAFaCirYS3_MHcTxpWbA98U1AUqWGFBbQRe6ztq9UREoyrZEUFnpSuLJopwPE1DbtA6OBvYvoBQANj_A8HcdaW0Jch7Buik0JzE0VpUFhD_2ta_bd4DVXZewQEziK6pTxIN2TUlwA/s72-c/smart.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717446612048601469.post-4846461840462056003</id><published>2011-02-23T09:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-23T21:43:19.243-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fearless public speaking"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="john milton lawrence"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pressure"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="speak out"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="speak up"/><title type='text'>Pressure can bust a pipe</title><content type='html'>Speak up- Speak out, don&#39;t keep it bottled inside.

Everywhere around the world, people have decided the revolution is about freedom, the freedom to express their views, without persecution or the fear of death.If you have something to say, say it don&#39;t let the self consciousness of speaking in public stop you, the message is more important than you.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/feeds/4846461840462056003/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/02/pressure-can-bust-pipe.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/4846461840462056003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/4846461840462056003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/02/pressure-can-bust-pipe.html' title='Pressure can bust a pipe'/><author><name>j</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02298927095051294123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHr4gI6Gv6hIiFhb3v3e0vQzzZv_stAXgO9Na8UKvqrXSsjKtTFYBSZM_AQU79tTrl5AVSp6PGt1DC2WaRN3JEAhvgbjIKTG4Q7EG56o8mve6fZ43WCACIyzPUTvzCLfM/s220/redjacket.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717446612048601469.post-8524720887403822200</id><published>2011-02-20T16:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-21T11:41:56.300-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="becoming a fearless public speaker"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="how to"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="leadership"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="public speaking"/><title type='text'>On Leadership- You cant come in a Pussycat ,then turn into a Lion.- John Milton Lawrence, &quot;speak or get benched</title><content type='html'>A very simple truth is this, you catch more flies, with honey, than you do with vinegar, let me explain. One employer, started out being decent, kind and understanding to his employee&#39;s, then when the sales numbers dropped, he turned, cold and verbally abusive to get results. This did not work because no one of the employees took him serious, they just saw him as someone who now wanted to intimidate and BULLY them to get results, they did not respond. Now as the business owner sat pondering, what would be the fate of his business, because he has realized, if you fail at human relationships, you fail at business, you fail at LIFE. Though not advised, he would have stood a better chance coming in a Lion, then turning into a pussycat, you can never come in a pussycat, then turn into a Lion, you will be seen as,desperate and weak.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/feeds/8524720887403822200/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/02/on-leadership-you-cant-come-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/8524720887403822200'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5717446612048601469/posts/default/8524720887403822200'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speakorgetbenched.blogspot.com/2011/02/on-leadership-you-cant-come-in.html' title='On Leadership- You cant come in a Pussycat ,then turn into a Lion.- John Milton Lawrence, &quot;speak or get benched'/><author><name>j</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02298927095051294123</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHr4gI6Gv6hIiFhb3v3e0vQzzZv_stAXgO9Na8UKvqrXSsjKtTFYBSZM_AQU79tTrl5AVSp6PGt1DC2WaRN3JEAhvgbjIKTG4Q7EG56o8mve6fZ43WCACIyzPUTvzCLfM/s220/redjacket.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717446612048601469.post-4049055453674094185</id><published>2011-02-18T13:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-04-23T18:59:47.327-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="amazon"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="barnes  nobles"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="john milton lawrence"/><title type='text'>Books By John Milton Lawrence</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://search.barnesandnoble.com/books/product.aspx?EAN=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&amp;amp;cm_mmc=Pubit-_-Badge-_-Blo...&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;I&#39;m a PubIt!
