September is always a special month
for me. I was born in September. My grandfather died
in September and a week later, my last dog died. I
joined Toastmasters in September, 1992, and life has
never been the same. I should add that I joined
National Speakers Association (NSA) in September,
1995, and things became extremely interesting. I
registered Kituku & Associates with the Idaho Tax
Commission in September…That’s enough.
|
|
|
The point is, I am aware of September.
I write more in September than any other month …
because I garden, hike, camp and do other fun stuff
which allow my mind to meditate from late April
through August. That means September is the time for
me to transfer thoughts into written words. |
|
This last summer, my thoughts centered
on a question that I have heard several times in the
last few years. What does it take to make a difference
in this world, have work/life balance and succeed in
whatever you do? |

Be Yourself:
If you have read Top Must Know Life Lessons for Top Achievers, you
know Lesson # 2 is, “Be yourself, otherwise others will dictate
what they want you to be.” You begin being yourself the moment
you realize that you are the greatest miracle and were created for
a purpose. When you are yourself, you devote time to know who you
are, your strengths and life perspectives. It is a lesser burden
to live life as yourself to try to live it as someone else. You
were not created to be a duplicate. Who are you, what are your
talents, gifts and experiences, what are your core values in life,
what is your purpose in this world? |
|
|
Make Your Life
Simple:
Over the years, I have been blessed focusing on only three areas
of life—spiritual, mental and physical. Everything I am involved
in falls within at least one of these aspects. There is no
substitute for an active relationship with God. Involvement in
mental and physical activities is vital for your personal and
professional growth and balance. Some activities such as gardening
or hiking, however, provide opportunities for meditation
(spiritual), preparation for a speech (mental) and physical
growth. You can’t make a difference in the world until you make a
difference in your life. |
|
|
Think Beyond Self:
This requires a change from self-centeredness to others-centered
mentality. Your decisions and actions shift from focusing on
what’s in it for you to working to improve the lives of other
people. You take care of people the way you would care for a
wealthy relative who is about to die whose will you hope to
benefit from. Lesson # 1 of the “Top Must Know Life Lessons for
Top Achievers" says, “What you do for yourself can get you
by. What you do for others is what will get you ahead; whether in
your profession, spiritual pursuits or relationships.” |
|
|
Never Do Anything
Just to Get By:
The goal is to make your yesterday’s dream, today’s routine. That
is what top achievers do. Whether at work, at home or in the
community, don’t allow yourself an average performance. No one is
thrilled by average results. It is the beyond expectation stuff
that makes people say, “Wow!” Not just to get by, but striving to
get ahead, reaching each time for new heights that bring you
energy, determination and resolve to be the best you can be
professionally and personally. Start by taking ownership of all
the responsibilities you have. That happens when you think and act
as the CEO of all do. |
|
|
Master the Three
Forces of Success:
The first is the force of presence—if
it’s present, someone will want it. Your products, skills or
services can only bring returns if they are available. The second
force is effort. The effort
you make for others to see what you have is critical—that is what
the 50% of businesses that perish in their first year of operation
lack. The third force, belief,
is what top achievers have more of. Can you imagine the faith it
takes for someone to write a book—without knowing if anyone will
be interested in it? The third force says, if you write, they will
read it! |
|
|
Belong:
When you belong, you learn, you serve and you grow. I joined
Toastmasters International (TM) in September, 1992. Today, 100% of
my livelihood is directly related to what I learned (and I am
still learning in my two TM clubs and all other clubs I visit) in
TM and of course from the National Speakers Association (NSA). Be
part of professional, spiritual and social communities. They are
the backbone of your own survival. The majestic redwood trees owe
their survival to community support (they have shallow root
systems). When you are part of a community, you are less likely to
be brought down by the “elements.” |

Before you read what will be covered in the seminar, take
a moment and read what Clay
Corner, a participant in a past seminar said.
Here it is:

Hi Vincent,
I just wanted to share with you how blessed I was this week by your seminar.
The difference between Wednesday and today is that I now know:
1. That it is OK to get paid to speak
2. How to understand and engage my audience to create amazing results
3. How to market my services 24 hours per day
Thank you. It was worth a fortune.
I gladly committed to the next level of training and look forward to
learning and applying all that I can. Just to let you know, I have
received a bargain and would have easily paid twice or more of this amount
or more for your services.

Dear fellow speaker, what do you make of a case like
Jennifer Christiano’s. Jennifer got results from what
she learned immediately. She attended the seminar and in
three business days (seminar ended on Saturday), Jennifer
appeared in the Idaho Statesman (100% free of charge!). In
addition to the description of her accomplishments and
services, her picture was also printed. This was just one
of the tips Jennifer picked up from the seminar.

 |

Vincent,…it
was truly an experience that will enhance not only my career, but also my
life in general , even my marriage. The marketing information you shared
with us alone was worth many, many, times the financial investment I made to
attend…you are truly an “Angel Along the Path” who is making a tremendous
positive difference in my life.

Dear Vincent,
I can't thank you enough for the opportunity to attend your "How to Speak
and Get Paid" advanced workshop this past week! Your willingness to share
your "tips" "strategies" and "must knows" of professional speaking was
invaluable. The stories and examples made it obvious that every bit of
advice had been time-tested as you learned the business.
More important than just the practical information though, was the sincere
encouragement you always offer. It is a reminder that success in a field we
are passionate about must be shared to make us truly successful. Thank you
for your warmth and wisdom! All the Best - Always!

There is one thing I guarantee my students—you will learn
practical tips that will allow you to propel your
fulfillment (success is not only elusive but also very
deceiving) into new heights. You will live consciously
aware of why you do what you do, the impact it has on the
lives of other people’s professions or personal endeavors
and the tangible and intangible rewards you derive.
|
|
Further, you will learn how to speak so that people want
to hear you and pay
(very well) for your words. The second part is to teach
you how to let people know what you do faster without you
investing thousands of dollars. In fact, I teach
participants how to market with a zero budget…that is
where I started and still
use it.

Paid!” was one of the most value-packed trainings I’ve ever attended. I

better understanding of my speaking abilities, useful ways to make my
speeches stand out, and how to market myself as a speaker.

“The people we provide services for are people, not just clients or
participants” says Chris Widdison, a ten years veteran of Community
Partnerships of Idaho (CPI). CPI is celebrating its 15th year of providing
services to people with disabilities. On October 21st and 22nd CPI will
hold a national conference at the Boise Centre on the Grove (read more at
www.cp-of-idaho.com).
The organization started in 1995 when a few friends had a dream—to make a
difference in the lives of children, teens and adults with disabilities.
It is the approach they developed that made CPI the “Trail Blazer” of new
culture of caring, respect and empowerment for people with disabilities.
|
 |
Kathrine Hansen, one of the founders states that, “There
was a huge need for an agency to support children, teens and adults with
disabilities in their natural environment.” They developed programs around
the family, not for an individual participant. Case managers go where the
family is whether in the park, shopping centers, or in the buses when
needed even if it’s on a weekend or in the evening. |
|
This was and is deviation from rigid traditional programs that are based
on what the providers think is the “best.” The results have been nothing
short of miracles as parents attest. “CPI has given Adrian an opportunity
to have friends and people to spend time with during the day and gain
social skills. He went through school for 13 years, but now has friends
that he enjoys seeing and doing things together outside therapy. Adrian
has bloomed emotionally and socially” says Teresa parker.
Her sentiment is echoed by Diana Pataky when she says, “… I truly believe
that if we hadn’t started with CPI at such an early age my son wouldn’t be
as close to being a productive citizen as he is and I wouldn’t be as good
of a mom (for a special needs child) as I am. I’ve always said it takes a
village/family to raise a child and CPI is our family. They are always
there for us even after hours or early morning the staff here are
“angels”! I carry my head high because my son is a kind, helpful, money
saving, bill-paying, loving, gentle young man because of a lot of
wonderful people’s hard work and devotion.”
As America was celebrating the 20th year anniversary of the Disability
Act, 40% of the 500 people who held hands around the entire block of the
Idaho State Capitol have received or are currently receiving services from
CPI. In Emmett, Idaho, CPI is a main partner in the Relay for Life program
that supports people suffering from cancer. This year, CPI’s staff and the
participants in their programs not only raised over $2000 for Relay for
Life but 60 staff members and participants walked the actual walk.
Although this year’s conference theme is The Hour of Innovation is Now,
CPI has been innovative all along. They started Summer Camps were staff,
participants and their families play and learn together. Activities have
included rafting, film making and attending movies among others. This year
there were 90 participants.
Another key area of innovation for a relatively small organization is the
annual educational conference that was created to equip service providers,
families and advocates with quality professional development training.
Experts, sometimes with international reputation, are brought to Idaho for
the conference.
CPI’s culture of caring, respect and empowerment has not been spared the
pain of budget cuts, especially for Medicaid and Vocational Rehabilitation
participants. But Katherine, who is also the 2010-2012 president of the
Idaho Association of Developmental Disabilities Agencies, says, “CPI has
learned to be flexible, focused and committed to provide people with
disabilities what they need to grow socially and emotionally and have
dignity in their lives.”
