Do You Know What You’re Talking About?

You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want; you cannot transmit an idea unless you have it yourself. – Wallace
Wattles

If you want to be persuasive and effective, in any field or endeavor, you must be prepared.

So many people are afraid of public speaking and the reason why is not what you might think . . . .

It’s about preparation.

People haven’t taken the time to know their subject, to know their audience and their needs and they haven’t taken the time to practice the actual act of speaking.

But I digress.

If you want to be effective in any sort of relationship or situation, you must be prepared.

You must understand what you’re about, what you want to create and how the person/people involved matter.

When you are truly clear on these things – and you come from a place of love and service – there’s little you can’t accomplish.

But you’ve got to do the work.
