I remember 2 years ago, when I started my quest for financial freedom. I literally paid thousands and thousands of money to attend alot of seminars/workshops/course. I literally attend all genre of money-making schemes…
Business building, investments in stocks/options/etc.
It was a very intensive time for me. With the limited amount of money and time that I had, i bit my lip and perserved on.
Now, two years have past and I chanced upon Internet Marketing last year. Ever since, I vowed to stay focused.
I passed on the stocks investment portfolio to my wife and I concentrated on this quest.
I’ve invest alot of time during the first 5 months, i literally spent 5 hours on weekdays and 16 hours on weekends without fail on Internet Marketing. Investing loads of all my extra cash and time on this. This is how I build up my foundation, based on sheer hardwork.
Coming to toastmasters, why does this works for me? It’s because I’m now a trainer for AKLTG. So speaking is a skill I need to be a master at.
Yesterday, 14th May 2007, I tested a new strategy and it worked wonders for me.
Battling with 4 other speakers, I came up the best speaker, and I have an award to prove it!
Today, I have my technical training for IMA, so it’s really a morale booster! 
Yup, coming to perspective, I urged all of you to focus on skills that compliment what you are currently doing.
Whatever it is, if you are a public speaker, go for toastmasters,
If you are a marketer, go for copywriting courses, etc…
It’ll definately help in the long run!
Cheers,
