Tips Guides

Ever since the beginning of time, ambitious people of the world have attributed some “indescribable” secret to the success of those people with wealth. These people have spent, and will continue to spend, millions of dollars to cultivate these “secrets” within themselves.

Particularly since the early seventies, there has been a growing demand by the public to attend classes, workshops, and self-improvement seminars that will enable them to align their thinking as well as their actions, with those of people who have already achieve success.

The popularity of such best-selling how-to manuals as, ‘Winning Is Believing’, ‘Think And Grow Rich’, ‘How to Develop A Winning Personality’, ‘Overcoming Shyness’, ‘Imagineering’, ‘New Life Options’, ‘Winning By Negotiation’, ‘Successful Visual-Verbal Communications’, ‘Conversationally Speaking’ and countless others lends reinforcement to the to the “need” for self-improvement seminars.

You can promote and stage these seminars either as a generalist or as a specialist in a specific area of expertise -and attain wealth for yourself almost beyond your current imagination! The market potential has only barely been scratched, affording a real ground-floor opportunity for those with the gumption to take action.

Dale Carnegie - the author of the book, ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ - was certainly one of the first, if not “the first” self-improvement seminar marketer/teacher. Back in the Great Depression of the thirties, he recognized this need in people to improve themselves - he worked out a deal with the local management of his home town YMCA - got the word around that he was holding classes on self-improvement - and the rest is one of the truly classic unemployed-to-multi-million-dollar success stories of our time.

A self-improvement seminar is conducted much the same as a Toastmaster’s Club meeting… It can be held just about anywhere, from the informal atmosphere of someone’s living room to the formalities of the ‘Hilton Convention Center’.

Basically, a self-improvement seminar is a gathering of people where one or more speakers talk on a specific subject. More often than not, only a certain aspect of self-improvement, such as ‘How to Develop a Positive Mental Attitude’ - is the thrust of the seminar. In other words, the more successful seminars deal with “specialized areas” of self-improvement.

These speakers usually wind up their talks with audience involvement question and answer sessions. Most of them “wind down” with the speaker circulating through the audience, plus lots of opportunity for the purchase of self-help books and tapes by the people wanting on-going motivation and reinforcement relative to what they’ve just heard. Always - sometimes even as the featured subject of the seminar - there’s a great deal of motivation projected during these meetings. At the bottom line, motivation is more the purpose of these seminars than the attendees learning something they don’t already know. The favourite words of most seminar speakers are usually, “It’s the difference between having a dream and taking action - a matter of saying I can, believing it, and then doing it - because you can!”
