Do you feel ok speaking for yourself one on one but tremble at the thought of getting up in front of a group? Isn't it funny how no one limits us as much as we limit ourselves? Often it's because of a belief that's no longer true, or never was and is definitely not useful having any more. Maybe it was someone telling you years ago that you aren't good at something. Maybe a parent, friend or teacher telling you, you'll never make a good public speaker. And so we take that person's opinion to heart and continually shy away from getting in front of a group. There are some naturally gifted speakers but for most of us it is an acquired skill.

And that's great news, because it is something you can learn. For most entrepreneurs and independent professionals, public speaking is extremely useful.
