I’m from a generation (and worked for a company) that does not find typos acceptable. My cohorts and I may be going the way of the dodo, but I stand by my convictions.

And yeah, I’m too lame (old??) to have my own website, LOL.

I remember all the way back in high school when I knew that one day I wanted to be “published.” To me that was the ultimate indicator of credibility. It may not be… but it certainly carries some weight for me as a result of those early thoughts.

BTW, I hope you got to read the other “How public speaking makes you…” authors.

Writing a book is another GREAT way to get your message out and grow your business. Don’t think you can? I’m using as my book-writing “Bible,” this great book on the subject, Doing Business By the Book by Sophfronia Scott. It kind of takes you by the hand and leads you through the whole process of using a non-fiction book for business development. The author says, essentially, a published book is the equivalent of a business card in today’s business world. This is a great resource. I’d urge people to think about writing a book, in addition to the speaking engagements.

P.S. Love your “how public speaking makes you… ” tag!
