Blog Challenge Day 3

Recently I bought a new book. I have fallen in love with reading books. So after reading Donald Trumps The way to success I bought TALK LIKE TED. I'm always reading and researching to see what all successful people have in common? I have noticed one thing they all have in common is great communication skills. They know how to present themselves in the best way possible, they know how to sell a project or an idea, they know how to get that fundraising or how to get that loan from the bank. I also believe the saying: Fortune favors the bold  

So I have been reading this book about TED TALK and there is something very interesting I want to share with you about launching a successful presentation. They call it the 3 Ps. Passion, Practice, Presence.

Passion: the 1st thing you have to keep in mind when you want to launch an idea or project. Be passionate about the topic. If you don’t love what you do, if you don't have a passion for that what you are doing? Soon as giants come your way the chances are big that you will quit what you are doing. The people that love what they do are usually the ones that find success. If you don’t have any passion or connection with what you are doing you are actually just wasting your time. Life is more than just making money. It's about finding your purpose and doing what you have been called to do. There are rich people out there making tons of money and not happy with life at all. So you have to be passionate about the thing you are doing and the idea you are selling.

Practice: the second P in presenting an idea or project is Practice, practice, practice. All the great speakers weren’t born as great speakers. They all had to practice for hours to become the best speakers they are today. No one gets born being successful. They say it takes 10.000 hours to master a skill. I believe in today's society, people often forget that everything has a process. Too many times it feels like the world only share success stories without sharing the hard work behind it. It would be an encouragement for people to push through when they also hear the ugly, fighting, crying, ruff part of a success story.

An example I would like to use is Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs has been called to be one of the most charismatic business leaders in the world. His presentations have been called one of the best and inspiring presentations out there. That hasn’t always been like that. There has been a video shared online, where he had an interview in the mid 70’s. They say he was using notes he was nervous and looking pretty stiff. Can you believe it, using notes, nervous and being stiff. Steve Jobs? Think about all the things we would have missed if he decided to quit after a not so good presentation or even worse, after being fired from his own company. Yes around 1985 at 30 years old the board of his own company fired him. How crazy is that, being fired from the company you build. But his setback was a setup for a bigger, greater and better comeback. And there are many more stories like this. Read the story of Donald Trump, also very inspiring. It all comes down that the road to success is falling and getting back up again. Lately I have been asking myself who ever came up with the word failure. We shouldn’t be talking about failure, failure is a negative word. Everything and every step that we take no matter the size should be seen as a learning process. How can there be failures in life. Life is unique and special, nothing that we do in life should be seen as a failure but as life experiences. We need all small parts of the puzzle to complete the whole puzzle. How then can we see the small parts as a failure??? So that is a word that actually should be deleted out life’s dictionary. Practice makes perfect!

   

Presence: The way we move and walk the talk. While rehearsing your presentation you have to pay attention to how you sound (verbal delivery) and on how you look (body language). Do you believe what you say? If you don’t believe what you say, it will be seen in your whole body language. Be aware of your verbal and body language. How high or low is the speed you talk with? Do you speak loud or soft? What is the pitch you use? High or low inflections, do you use short pauses to punch keywords? Keep these things in mind whenever you are planning to launch an idea, speech or project. If you want to read more about this subject I highly recommend you to buy the book TALK LIKE TED. Especially if you want to learn more about communication, presentation and connecting with your audience. Every entrepreneur should learn how to communicate in the best way he or she can. And not only entrepreneurs, but also everyday people. Cause the way we communicate, the way we present ourself and our ideas is so important. It would be a missing chance, a big lost if you had a great idea but don't know how to sell it.

So don’t be afraid to let your voice be heard. Step out your comfort zone and challenge yourself daily to the next level. Fortune favors the bold!

I have a little surprise for everyone that wants to go into it a little bit deeper. If you have never heard of TED TALK you can also check it out online to see and learn more about great presentations. There is so much free information available to us through the internet. Just take a look. I personally loved the TED TALK by Caroline Casey. She is a great inspiration, check it out and you will understand why? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vl6wCiUZYc

Rollercoaster

Wow, I don’t even know where to start but there has a lot going on. I started the theatre school in September. I have been learning and practicing a lot on different actingmethodes and writingmethodes. Rehearsals, rehearsals and rehearsals. Beside that I also got an opportunity from Bijlmerparktheatre to work on a new poetry production. I participated last year in a project Talentlab with 4 other poets. So this year we will continue as a group. We have been brainstorming on how to mix dance and poetry together. This time we’ll also be working with dancers. Keep your eye open for my poetry group. Point! Is our group name and we will be performing in different places this year. Yaaaayyyyy
So I have been working, writing, brainstorming and jumping from town to town, doing what I love the most.

And this is the one thing that is so important doing what I love the most. The only reason I can give my all, even when the process gets tough sometimes is because it is what I love to do.

Beside that I have been reading books about entrepreneurs, watching a lot of motivational speeches, seminars, visiting business meetings and listening to radio/podcast shows about entrepreneurs. Something what I love 2 do. To stay up to date and informed about the market of entrepreneurs.

The book I'm reading at this moment, I truly suggest everyone that is interested in having a successful career in work and life to check this book out! It has become a New York bestseller so you won't regret buying and reading this encouraging, funny, inspirational, eye opener: It’s a book written by Ivanka Trump: The Trump Card. A book about reaching goals and the do’s and don’t if you want to be successful in your work and in life.



So this is it for now. Next time I will be sharing more inspirational talk :) :) :)
Check the photo of the book I'm reading and some of my photo's of last week's presentation.

Happy New Year welcomes my 1st poem: Wake Up

Wake up

You want to be somebody? You want to go somewhere?

You better wake up and pay attention

If you want to be somebody? If you want to go somewhere you got to take some actions

Rise up, Work today to change tomorrow,

Too much sipping and clubbing till midnight hours,

Will sooner or later present you mournings and sorrows,

Wasted time and given chances.

24/7 wrapped in a lifetime is what we have,

And all that we have is just one life wrapped, in the days, in the time that is left,

One life, You have been given

God's gift to you, for You to be a gift to the world.

Above or beneath is decided on what you choose to believe.

The head or the tail is dependent on the choices you make, and the seeds that you sow.

Life is all about what You make of it!

You want to be somebody? You want to go somewhere?

You better wake up and pay attention

If you want to be somebody? If you want to go somewhere you got to take some actions

Read the written love letters that feeds the mind,

Listen to songs that uplift the soul,

Capture the walk of a wise man,

Embrace each lesson and teaching with a thankful and humble heart,

Cause pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Repent and then, Get back up again!

You want to be somebody? You want to go somewhere?

You better wake up and pay attention

If you want to be somebody? If you want to go somewhere you got to take some actions

Be the change you want to see,

The difference you want to make,

The voice that needs to be heard.

It’s in your mind, it’s in your thoughts,

It’s in your words, It’s in your moves,

It’s in your heart, It‘s in your soul,

It’s all in you to share it with the world.

You want to be somebody? You want to go somewhere?

You better wake up and pay attention

If you want to be somebody? If you want to go somewhere you got to take some actions.

NMJ

I have a question about that?

Everyone has dreams, some acknowledge and dare to talk about their dreams. But only a few dare to step out and take action to realize their dreams.

Dreams and visions come forth from a passion. What are you passionate for and what goals do you want to achieve from this passion?

These are some of my goals:

1. Continuing to write more and new poems and monologues for stage performances. At least one poem a week.

2. Reading more poetry and business books. 1 book in 2 months.
3. Creating a new website.

Let me know what your goals are? Write it down in a comment, cause Í’m really interested in the goals that you have for 2015 and maybe we can give each other some helpful tips.

Well, I hope to hear from you

Be Blessed and Be a blessing,
