Hi everyone. I am a corporate put-on comedian from Long Island NY.
I keynote at conventions for example, pretending to be a top expert on the industry and gradually start to veer off into absurdity with customized material. I also emcee and do video interview put-ons as well.

Remember, attitude is everything. Don't believe the hype about the US economy. Recession is an act rather than a condition. The economy is still robust, just less artificially inflated.

While the politicians use the negative media as an opportunity to grandstand and grab more power, clients still have needs, and positive thinkers like me are still getting business filling those needs!

Can you make cold calls? It is a great form of networking!

A question to all Mid-Atlantic speakers-

What are you working on to advance yourself?

As for me, I am working on publishing my first book.

Welcome aboard, Mike!

There is a lot of good that emerges from tough times for those who look for it. I have been there, done it, have the t-shirt and emerged stronger from economic tough times in the past.

As a speaker, I am offering free "Recover, Grow, and Succeed" type speeches at community centers, schools, and public libraries to anybody seeking advice that I have to offer. When we emerge from the other side of the tunnel together, we'll all win from the experience.

Again, welcome to the group!

It is the beginning of the New Year for all of us and the anticipation of strength and greater success that our focus will bring. Having just joined the site and the group, I look forward to cultivating some great relationships as we help each other.

Great article John - too many newer speakers break your first rule and try to be everything to everybody. They look worse by stepping into an area they aren't proficient in.

Again, great article!
