Hello, my friends! I jut reached 800 followers and I'm so excited to be part of this community of great people. I have never been part of such a vibrant diversity of people like this where everyone and I do mean everyone is working together to make this a fantastic place.

I thought I would reveal another part of me that you may or may not know of. I am a public speaker and love entertaining people from the stage. Since there are so many different kinds of speakers I thought it would be good to let you know what I do that might be a little different.

Here are my most used speaker tracks

  1. Personal Branding -- strutting like a peacock

Instead of branding yourself as one of the experts in the world, why not brand yourself as THE EXPERT? Instead of reporting the trends, why not set them? Instead of reporting the news, my friends, why not become the news?

2)Developing Charisma and the prince charming curse

It is no secret my friends that people love doing business with people they like, you know, the ones that make them feel all good inside. Those special people who make friends easily, who attract all of the best clients, and enjoy life fully truly have a special gift they have developed, and one most people can do as well.

  1. Traits of the expert, exploring new frontiers

After working hard to brand yourself as the best you can, and establish your charismatic brilliance, so to speak, it is now time to back it all up with solid social proof. Highly successful people have certain traits, certain edges they use to dominate their area of expertise.

One more note, a hurricane is steaming toward Florida where I live and I will be leaving in a day or two, plans changing rapidly right now. On Sunday I will be in Seattle where we will head on a cruise to Alaska for 2 weeks.

If you live in Florida make plans to head for safety now!

tip! 1.5

thank you so much

Well, I hope you enjoy your Alaska cruise-- at least it will get you out of Irma's path. Usually green Seattle (and much of the northwest) is currently socked in by thick smoke from forest fires, but hopefully you'll find some clear sailing out there.

yes, I have heard about these fires, but we will be going out toward Anchorage, a long way north of there

Nice post Johnny, I hope to set a new trend sooner or later. Congratulations on ur 800+ followers, Cheers !

Welcome to steemit! You will enjoy it pls Followed me @ibrahemm51

yes, i love it, and now following you

I hope that the hurricane doesn't deal too much damage to you, keep safe :)

I am boarding up today, and will leave on Sunday morning early, hoping everyone else does the same. thank you, my friend

Just wondering, what if something happens to your house? or do you live in an apartment? I don't think I would have the courage to leave it all behind if I knew it will be destroyed. On the other hand, I know it's a huge storm and it's dangerous to be there. But what do you think about going away, what happens when you come back, did you take your stuff with you? :D Thank you if you want to answer, I am just curious.

I have a very strong home, and will place a steel shutter on all windows. the roof is almost solid stone. I am also on a hill. close friends in the Sheriff office who will monitor it for me, and might even use it if needed by them. thank you for your concerns, my friend

Glad to hear you are getting out of Florida - I trust everyone else will do the same .

Sadly, many will not leave, and I can only imagine what will be here when we return in 2 weeks.

I am very happy with steemit, and hope i can be a big help here in the future

You did not go direct to state your name but narrate what you do, to me, it is better.
I feel that if one did not introduce himself by saying my name is this or that, and he does something that will interest people, the public will start to be eager to know the name of the person who is doing wonderfully well. When the name is mentioned, it will register properly in the minds of people.

There are many ways of doing such. But one of the ways I advocate is TEACHING A SKILL to the world in a place like this. This is why my column is called TEACH HUMANITY A SKILL. So, find out.

thank you my friend

Congratulations on reaching this milestone. I live in Florida too the family and me just finished the house preparations but we have not been instructed to evacuate as of yet. I am still hopeful for some good news...

I see you live in Miami, and heard they have asked all to leave, so be safe, my friend, Even in my area near Clearwater they are asking us to leave by Saturday that is in zone 8

I am actually in Margate more to the north... last word I heard is we should be OK here, lets see what the news say tomorrow. Stay Safe @Johnnyray

how close are you to the Atlantic. Here , they are forcing everyone to leave who is next to the water on Saturday morning, I think. We are leaving Saturday night for the airplane to go to Seattle

We are a good 30-35 minutes away driving from the Ocean... I am not going to be stubborn and not leave if the authorities tell us to no material possession is more valuable than the well being of the family. But at the same time, i don't want to over react.

I fully understand, we are looking at options on leaving earlier
