In addition to our two ‘learning
centres’ (Investor Education & Resource
Centre. and Self- Actualization & Resource
Centre) I am pleased to announce that we will
take Speaking Engagements. Depending on the focus
of the group requesting these engagements, or
where such groups do not suggest a specific topic,
it is possible that the subject of the Presentation
will be influenced by the Essays in these two ‘learning
centres’
When requesting an engagement, it might be a good idea to review the titles using
the Site Plan in both of these ‘learning centres’
Whereas most or all corporate entities will be asked to pay a speaking fee, church,
community groups and service clubs will, more likely, be asked just to cover
any costs associated with making the Presentation.
Personal Empowerment
Presentations at these Speaking Engagements will
fall into one of two distinct categories i.e. Personal
Empowerment or Investor Education & Family
Wealth Creation.
Under Personal Empowerment, the objective is to
illustrate, through the examples of others, that
we, too, can become our Dream. To make this possible,
though, each of us must start with a Dream. Where
none exists, we will just try to encourage one!
See Essay “It Is Possible”
Investor Education & Family Wealth
Creation
Here we will emphasize one or any combination
of three focuses as follows:
Debunk the view that only ‘certain people’ can
be wealthy and that these certain people do not
include “me”
Illustrate that, as all Tuesdays follow a Monday,
so, too, there are some universal laws (investing
secrets) about the use of money which anyone,
rich or poor, (Mississippi Washer
Lady Oseola McCartyGladys Holm, Secretary/Genesio
Morlacci, part time Janitor) can
follow to create personal wealth. Those who don’t
employ these secrets remain poor or get poorer.
Those who do, remain rich or get richer. It’s
like the story of the horse at the well! You
can take it there but cannot force it to drink!
With people, those who ‘drink’ get
richer. Those who do not drink get poorer
Show, through easy to understand and follow
illustrations, that many ‘small people
like me’ have used these investing
secrets to build wealth either through:
rental income from owning more than the house
they live in
dividend income from buying shares in dividend
paying companies
interest income from lending some of their
savings to their own government
income from intellectual property rights
(entertainment, personal creation like carving
etc,
books,
inventions
Presentations for whom?
In the same way that no expert is the repository
of all wisdom, so is no individual totally bereft
of some knowledge, some aspiration, and a dream
for betterment. The difference between the achiever
and the non achiever, or the high achiever and
the middle achiever, might just be the difference
in the timing of the motivation. Some get it during
all their lives and become the champions that they
are. Others get it later in life after they have
lost many of the years that are required for their
flower to come to full bloom. Accordingly, it will
never be too late to start moving up the ladder
of Achievement and Excellence. It is always better
late than never.
Accordingly, we believe that these Presentations
will have resonance with most audience be they
made up of:
Employees
Service Clubs
Church groups
Young professionals
Community associations
Parent Teachers Associations
Grand Parents (in respect of their grand children)
Professional Membership associations (Doctors,
Nurses, Teachers, Soldiers, Police etc)
Presentation Backdrop
No two people are the same. Accordingly, no two
people will respond the same way to any one stimulus.
I believe, however, that most people will respond
to one degree or another to the immortal admonition
of one of the world’s great Teachers, the
late Dr Benjamin Mays of Morehouse college, Atlanta,
Georgia U.S.A. when he told his students:
“It must be bourn in mind that the tragedy
in life doesn’t lie I n not reaching your
goal. The tragedy lies in having n goal to reach.
It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled;
but it is a calamity not to dream.
It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your
ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to
capture.
It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars but,
it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for.
It is not failure, but low aim, that is a sin”
My Speaking Engagements are dedicated to help
my audience to aim high
