I think I should'nt say you this But, I will because I wanna be me,
Long Story Short.....
I was 4 years old when I was first called up to recite a poem, Kind a like old school recitation/ poetry competition.
My Mom as an Entrepreneurial Mom told me one simple thing.....
She said "My dear son, listen to me and remember this forever and ever in your life ....."
I said, " What is it?"
Mom said " Never participate in a competition to win it rather be in it to learn something new and to enjoy the process, because at the end of the day.....
..... What matters is not what you gain its, why you gain and how much you enjoyed the process"
My 4 year old mind was programmed to think in this way and since then I just went on to speak on anything I possibly could, and kept learning something on the other,
The thing I realised was that " Whatever I was doing was not common because not much people had the guts to come up and speak on the event when it mattered the most".....
I kept preparing, practicing and presenting, over and over again and kept elevating my position as a speaker.
Sorry for using complicated words and sorry for being so dramatic but this is how it is.
Finally after doing the same for over a decade or so, I launched my first online course on Public Speaking on a platform and very soon it attracted nearly 50000 students from 171 countries,
This was super awesome,
I was directly teaching students just like me and you from 171 countries,
But
.....
I taught me something that there were people who still feared Public Speaking and wanted to conquer it forever.
HHhhhhh......
Ok so I made a mission statement for myself and our community.
Wanna know my / our mission?????
ok, cool
Here it is.....
I'm on a mission to help and teach 9 Billion People to conquer Public Speaking through Storytelling and..
Speak anytime, anywhere, and in any kind a situation,
Without a second of hesitation.
And now that you know my mission in life I thank you for reading and giving me valuable moments of your life.
Hope my mission sent chills down your spine,
God bless you all.
Thanks:)
