TJ Walker advises becoming a great speaker by practicing frequently, drawing on Tony Robbins' early career example: Robbins spoke three times a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) which accelerated his improvement compared with competitors who spoke weekly. Walker recommends a modern equivalent—record short videos (e.g., 15-second tips) daily, ideally multiple times per day, to rapidly compound speaking ability.

What's the fastest way to become a great speaker, a great presenter in the 2000 and twenties? Believe it or not, it's the same technique used by Anthony Robbins more than 40 years ago. When he was getting started, Tony Robbins spoke three times a day. He spoke at a breakfast meeting, a lunch meeting, a dinner meeting, and he got really good quickly. Meanwhile, his competitors were giving a speech once a week. So within a one month period, Tony Robbins got more experience. He improved more than his competitors did in a year. This compounded and it didn long for him to get a lot better. Now, what's the easiest way to speak three times a day now? Well, it's much, much easier than when Tony was starting out 40 years ago. Now you can do what I'm doing right now. Hit record. Record yourself. Giving a speech, presentation, a talk, a helpful tip for 15 seconds in a short video. It could be a long one, but present every day, ideally multiple times, because it's extremely difficult not to get better at something if you're doing it three times a day.
