If you’re a speaker or a writer, what is the most important secret of success?

(1) Finance

(2) Strategic Planning

(3) Effective Time Management

(4) Speaking or Writing

First of all, let me start off by saying that I do own speech recognition software, but I rarely use it. The reason is because of what I just said above. There is a big difference. So okay, let me explain.

The biggest difference that is obvious is the speed. With speech recognition software you can speak at about 120 words a minute with normal speech. Some people can speak even faster. With typing, you’re talking about 60 wpm if you’re pretty good. I type at around 35 wpm, so I’m pretty slow. But what exactly does typing slow as opposed to speaking fast actually do to the quality of your article?

When you type slowly, you actually give your mind a chance to think about what it’s going to say simply because you can’t keep up with your thoughts when typing. So it forces your mind to slow down. This in turn forces you to think slower and when you do that, you think more clearly. How many times has something come out of your mouth and you wish you could take it back because your mouth actually works faster than your brain?

If you aspire to being a professional speaker, improving your speeches and presentations is the smartest investment you can make. And to do so requires lots of speaking opportunities.

Get them by speaking for free at service clubs like the Rotary, and at non-profit organizations, which generally love to learn, but have no money to spend.

Leverage these opportunities by getting testimonial letters you can quote, and by networking.

I’m not saying you can’t become good with software, but it’s not going to be an instant thing. It will take time and you need to be aware that there is a big difference between typing and speaking your articles
