Broken Link in your Sig Mo!

Arthur Webster   Just plain honesty
I came, I saw, I was convinced even more that audio video is a waste of time - over 20 minutes to listen to people stumble through words that should have flowed.

Than God dnkstore.net/bizinfo is more traditional and infinitely more valuable.

Why does nobody else feel that this type of presentation places a low value upon their time? Is it because it is novel? Or is it because of the invidious subliminal effect of gurus chanting audio/visual audio/visual audio/visual audio/visual audio/visual?

If I had watched every audio visual presentation in my yahoo! in box this morning - I'd still be watching and listening!!

Sorry Mo, but with the speed of my link, I didn't watch the videos.
They take too long for me.

Thanks Mark! Did the sig link in a hurry...
Yes, I liked the info myself, it gave me several ideas... Although like Arthur says, some of the presentations were a little amatuerish.

Arthur. I have to confess, I not only agree with you, but at the same time I kinda liked the amateur presentation, I guess it's something about being tired of the mainstream media. They are so slick that I don't trust ANYTHING they say. I will actually listen to these guys, although to tell you the truth, I only listened to 3 of them ALL the way thru.
I too prefer the old school, but since there are only so many of us left, and most of the younger generation tends toward video, I have been moving myself in the direction of video, and wanted to get everyone's reactions.

Jean, not to worry, until not very long ago, I couldn't have watched them either.
That's why I have my bizinfo site also, which I will be adding more to in the future!

Thanks for your responses everyone!

I agree that some were a bit amatuerish, coming from a training standpoint, I can understand how hard it is to create a smooth flowing presentation. It is one thing to write something up and even rehearse it a few times, but when you actually go "Live" the first few times it is a bit unsettling, no matter how prepared you are.
I am talking from recent experience too. I have done training in person for the past ten years, but most of the classes have been for groups of around 20-30, when I did my stint in Vegas last Nov, I was not prepared to walk into a class of over 200! It took me about five minutes to get settled down and into a flow.
Many people THINK they can teach, until they stand up in front of a large group on tape. When they go back and watch the video later, it is usually a humbling experience! And a GREAT learning tool!

Yeh Mark, they say there are 3 major fears that everyone has... Death, Taxes, and Public Speaking! (not necessarily in that order!)
