The Fear of Feeing!

When a prospective client asks: "What's your fee?" do you feel anxious, fearful, guilty or even ashamed? Do you immediately start thinking about ways to reduce your fee? Jay Arthur, The KnowWareŽ Man, has noticed that even the best speakers sometimes struggle stating their fees.

Come on Feb 8th and you'll learn how to:
• Detect the five key limiting beliefs that can stop you from loving your fee
• Identify your own "fear of feeing" and limiting beliefs about money
• Change limiting beliefs in yourself and others using simple questions

Jay is a master practitioner of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) the science of how we run our minds through pictures, sounds and feelings. He's the author of Debug Your Mental Software and co-author of Your Seventh Sense - How to think like a comedian.



Joachim de Posada

Years ago four year old children were placed in a room with a marshmallow in front of them. They were told that if they could wait for 15 minutes without eating the marshmallow, they would get another one. If they ate it, they would not get the extra one.
This session will discuss what happened in that famous University of Stanford experiment and what implications it has in our lives. If you understand and apply this principle, your life may be changed and you will be successful in your life as a speaker and an author.
Three other principles relating to change, motivation and accepting responsibility will be discussed. Each and every principle will be supported by real life examples in the world of business and sports and they all apply to our lives as speakers and authors.


You will learn:
• How to determine if you have the psychological profile of a speaker and if you don´t what to do about it.
• What happened to the marshmallow kids fifteen years later when the follow up to the study was conducted and what it means to you.
• Let go of the elephant: How one thought can keep you from developing your potential as a speaker.
• Successful people are willing to do things that unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Are you willing to do what it takes to be successful in the speaking profession?
• Are you ready to write a book so as to advance your career as a speaker?
• The one hook I use to sell product in the back of the room.
• Marketing techniques to pull business to you instead of going out trying to get business.
• Yes, you need to market your services, but you better know how to sell once you are contacted. I will share a secret that costs us one million dollar to discover while I was training director at Xerox.
