Two of the biggest objections people tell me about why they haven’t done a teleseminar yet are…

• they don’t consider themselves an expert, and
• they aren’t a trained presenter of information.

And although those are very valid concerns, it’s a shame they hold so many people back. This is because both of these things can be learned, and the best way to learn an area of expertise and become better at presenting information is to actually do teleseminars and learn from each experience.

Let me share a quick story to illustrate what I mean.

In my ten years in the classroom, I mentored 6 student teachers. All of them had taken classes in history, but none of them were experts in the subject of my classes – 20th Century U.S. History and World Religions. All of them had taken a course or two on presenting information, but all of them were rather bad at it when they first stood in front of a crowded room of 14 year olds.

They lacked confidence, conviction, and their nervousness showed (yes, freshmen can smell fear like tigers).

The good news was the first week they tried to do this was the worst they would ever be. And despite this rocky beginning, learning did happen, and their efforts were appreciated.

Fast forward a year later, after they went through my mentoring and the internship experience/practice, and each one became a successful teacher of history.

As for the subject matter, what they didn’t know they learned by doing research or asking questions of the other teachers in our department. They sought out the resources for the information, understood what they wanted to learn, and why it was important to do so (the students were counting on it).

The real kicker is every teacher I know will say the same thing: everything they learned about how to teach came from the actual experience of teaching – not from researching how to be a teacher in a college methods course.

They also will tell you that although they were pretty bad when they started, their passion for helping their audience learn things that could dramatically change their lives won out over their fears of looking like an idiot at the chalkboard. Once their focus of dedication was on their audience (i.e., the students), success was simply a matter of time.

The same is true for you.

It’s unlikely you have been trained to present information, which is why I want to teach you the system for holding a teleseminar. It’s not as hard as it seems (the technology has gotten ridiculously easy), although to be great at it (something I’m still striving towards) requires a lot of practice.

This is why during the 2008 Success With Teleseminars Workshop next week, you will practice a real teleseminar after you learn from the first 4 sessions. And after your teleseminar, we’ll have another 4 sessions to go over what you’ve learned, what changes need to be made, and how to take your recordings and turn them into profitable products.

As for the subject matter? Well, the fastest way to become an expert in something (or at least know more than your audience so they trust you), is to interview someone who knows more than you. As long as you are humble enough to recognize your gaps in knowledge, and you are willing to ask questions, the expert can do most of the talking for you. The reality is, teleseminars are a great way for somebody else to pay for your education!

Just like the first day for a student teacher alone in a classrom, your first teleseminar will likely be your very worst. Which is great news. Because that means it’s onward and upward from there.

And since your first teleseminar will be done during my workshop among friends, you really have nothing to lose.

Make sure you grab your ticket to the next 2008 Success Workshop so I can help you overcome your fears and turn teleseminars into your biggest money maker for your business.

No matter what, never let your lack of experience stop you from pursuing your goals!
