All Change

After much thought, I decided to turn my e-book into a small paperback. It can be purchased from http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/seven-steps-to-successful-speaking/10982751.  Clicking the preview button will let you read most of the first section.

My original intent was that this would be an electronic giveaway.  I changed my mind when I realised that, although I had not created a literary masterpiece, I had put a lot of effort into this book and that it was the result of several years of learning and practice.

I am happy for others to learn from the fruits of my labours.  I also believe that taking a shortcut to success is a good thing and should be encouraged.  There is no point in reinventing the wheel.

The real reason for the change is one of perceived value. 

How many of us download free resources from the internet and then don't take full advantage of them.  I have many free ebooks and resources, languishing in a folder, waiting for the "someday" on which I will read them.

If I have to go to the effort of purchasing something, no matter how low priced, I am one hundred times more likely to make use of it.

Please consider purchasing a copy and giving me some feedback on it.

Should you want a signed copy, email me on james@bespeak.co.uk and I will arrange it.  Cost is likely to be around £10.00 include postage.

For thiose of you who want to listen to the book in the car, an audio version will be released in a few weeks time.
