I guarantee I can put you into the top 1% of speakers in your field right now. How can I do that? You may think that's outrageous. Well, here's the trick. Just record yourself on video and post it to the world. The second you do that, you're in the top 1%, because 99% of your competitors are too scared, too chicken, too insecure, too worried about what if somebody criticizes my hair or my jawline? People are holding themselves back. Now, your competitors are spending money on advertising. Maybe blogging, maybe TV ads. For the most part, they're afraid to speak on video. So if you can speak, even if you have uhs and ums and your lighting isn't perfect, you're automatically going to be in the top 1%, because 99% of your competitors never show up.
