			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic;">What do you need to think of before you step on the stage?</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><strong>What is your topic?</strong></span> &#8211; What is the message you want to teach or get out there?</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><strong>Who is your ideal target audience?</strong></span> &#8220;Everyone&#8221; is not an option &#8211; be specific. i.e.Self employed women aged between 25-45. You can be more specific and it doesn&#8217;t mean you need to exclude everyone else, you do need to know who you are directing your marketing at.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><strong>When do you plan to present?</strong></span> 2 weeks? 2 months? Be realistic &#8211; are you going to be able to fill a room of 5000 in 2 weeks? No &#8211; unless twice that many know and admire you already.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><strong>How do you want to present your message?</strong></span> On a physical stage, online, video, on the radio? Your needs will be different for each.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><strong>What do you need to learn before you step on your platform?</strong> </span>You don&#8217;t need to know it all now, and your job will be easier if you know what you need to learn before you start.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><strong>Who is your team?</strong></span> Getting on any platform is very difficult to do alone.  Choose to work with people you trust and admire, even if you aren&#8217;t able to pay them first time.  Look after your team!</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-style: italic; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"><strong>Learn Marketing &amp; Presentation Skills.</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-style: italic; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"><strong>Why are you doing this?</strong> <span style="font-style: normal;">it&#8217;s important to understand your motivation, if it&#8217;s just money your audience will know, whether this matters to them is down to how they feel about you. </span></p>
