For example, if I write a press releases on securing funds for a nonprofit organization, I target 501 (c)(3) organizations and corporations because they can both receive tax exempt funding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Press releases reach beyond the local community and flow like the air that moves the clouds in the sky. I have written press releases for clients in China, Dubai, Australia, Canada, and the United States. Typically what clients want is a clear and focused message that garner the attention of readers, drive traffic to their website and provide a number to call for more information and or for their services and or products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mind you I have also had some rather interesting request for interviews, for example one client wanted a press release for more mature audiences, I had to decline the inquiry because it conflicts with my business ethics. Don't get me wrong, the clients request was all business, however one must make the best business judgment with the longevity of their business in mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I highly recommend people write press releases because the media reads them, interviews can be generated from them and product sells and launches can move a business from zero to not being able to handle the demand for a given product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something to keep in mind is with the bad economy, press releases help you satnd out in a crowd. What do I mean by this? Great question and I'm glad you asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some strange reason some businesses cut back on marketing and promoting their business, this results in fewer leads and less profit. What should be happening now during the recycling of the economy is for companies to ramp up their marketing starting with you guessed it, press releases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is phenomenal about press releases nowadays is that a business can have press releases written and generate business around the world. What's even cooler than this is, a press release can be attached to a social networking site, this is marketing for pennies on the dollar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call upon a reputable company to write your press releases for you, it will pay dividends in the long run. Positively impacting your bottom line is what an effective press release will do for you and your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;br /&gt;Writer, Author, Blogger&lt;br /&gt;Wealth Building Academy, LLC&lt;br /&gt;paul@paullawrencevann.com&lt;br /&gt;(240) 416-5077&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

I totally agree when it comes to grants, its important to reflect the passion required to make a difference in your community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The greatest challenge people face today when it comes to starting a nonprofit organization is they give up too soon. In other words, they attempt the process one time, then they stop. The journey one takes to establish and lead a nonprofit is a process of perseverance, in other words when the going seems a bit tough, crank it up another notch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes to the grant process, paperwork is a major issue for some, not for me because I approach it as an opportunity to learn something I didn't know before. Whether its filling out the initial paperwork to establish your corporation, employer identification number or the Form 1023 to apply for tax exempt status, its all part of the process and in life its all process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you feel overwhelmed by burdensome grant paperwork, call on a professional to assist you in realizing your dreams of being the change your community wishes to see. Contact me at (240) 416-5077 or paul@vannfoundation.org we're ready, willing and able to help you establisn your nonprofit, conduct grant research, write grants and review grants on short notice or as part of your strategic plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;br /&gt;National Grant Expert&lt;br /&gt;(240) 416-5077&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

Starting a nonprofit organization is the way to go because every community in America is experiencing uncommon times. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government can't solve all the problems, thats where you come in with your 501(c)(3)nonprofit to find solutions to problems such as hunger, homelessness, affordable health care and housing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On June 15, 7:00-8:30pm, ET, The Wealth Building Academy under the leadership of Paul Lawrence Vann is hosting ,"Getting Grant Money to Realize Your Dreams" teleseminar.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learn more about this exciting grant training intensive at: http://grantmoneysuccess.eventbrite.com. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;You can also register at www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We look forward to your participation in this unique and one of its kind grant training intensive.

After completing a 12-city speaking tour, I noticed the dedication of a nonprofit organization in my community and knew I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, thus evoloved The Paul Lawrence Vann Foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fast forward to 2008 and 2009, the American economy is in the tank. Now more than ever, nonprofits are needed to help in communities throughout the U.S. because the needs are great. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With over 306 million peole living in America, I believe she will make a positive turnaround, however it will come on the backs of the hard working men and women. As a result of job losses, record home mortgage foreclosures, and tight lending market, the U.S. government cannot do it all by themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you lead your nonprofit organization, keep in mind the challenges are great. For example the following areas need nonprofit assistance:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. The need for food is great because of job losses and no income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Affordable housing whcih is being compounded by record mortgage foreclosures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Medical care cost are skyrocketing and is recorded as one of the primary reasons for mortgage defaults because of excessive medical bills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Senior programs are needed because baby boomers are retiring in record numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Women programs required to train more women to become entrepreneurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Education is one of the top professions because of technology requirements and retraining.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Job creation programs will be in more demand because of the need for skilled employees.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there was ever a time to be of service, the time is now. Remember the government can't do it all by themselves, nonprofits in collaboration with government and private industry will be the difference maker. The question is, are you ready to strengthen your community and realize your dreams?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are, I encourage you to contact the Wealth Building Academy to receive one-on-one grant coaching, attend one of our grant training programs and or purchase our home study program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;br /&gt;National Grant Expert&lt;br /&gt;paul@paullawrencevann&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.com&lt;br /&gt;(240) 416-5077&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

Now more than ever, the global economic crisis has caused more and more people to be hungry and starving for food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps you will decide to start a food pantry, food for the hungry, meals on wheels or some kind of program to feed the less fortunate. In America people are losing their jobs which mean they will have to decide to drive to the unemployment line or purchase a gallon of milk for their children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I encourage you to establish a nonprofit organization and make a difference in the lives of the people in your community. If a person doesn't have anything to eat, their lack of nutrition will cause health problems in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what you should do to start your nonprofit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Write your mission statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Write down your objectives and goals for your nonprofit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Hire a professional to lead and help you fill out your business structure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Determine your entity structure for your nonprofit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Secure a EIN number&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. File applicable documentation with the IRS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Apply for free government grant money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To jumpstart your nonprofit organization, contact us to lead you through this process.

Job losses, lack of credit, stock market decline and inflation is causing the markets to look like a scatter gram.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now is a great time for you to help find a remedy for America's financial crisis. Become a social entrepreneur. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is a social entrepreneur? I'm glad you asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A social entrepreneur is a  person who is passionate about a cause and wants to strengthen their community. One of the first things you must do to become a social entrepreneur is to identify a problem and passionately find solutions to resolve it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. government distributes over $450 billion in FREE grant money to nonprofits to position them to solve problems at the state and local level. Review some of the problems that need to be fixed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problems to consider resolving include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Working with at-risk youth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Creating jobs, workforce initiatives&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Develop senior assisted living facilities&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Build affordable housing for low-moderate income people&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Promote health care services for Americans&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.

My parents didn’t have any money for me to attend college, so I went to the career center at my high school in rural North Carolina and I started applying for every grant on the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I received Pell Grants throughout college and if I hadn’t received those grants; likelihood is I would still be working in a factory in my hometown. Thank goodness I applied for Pell Grants because the only money I had to attend college was $300, I received from my relatives after high school graduation and $600 I received working all summer at the recreation department in my hometown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through necessity I learned how to read the grant forms accurately and properly fill in the information as requested by the federal government.

For example, if you don’t know how to properly read and interpret a request for proposal (RFP) you may not be able to respond to it the correct way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Submit your response to the RFP correctly and you will position your organization to receive free grant money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make no mistake about it; having an expert to guide you will result in a higher rate of approval as opposed to going it alone.

What do I mean by this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever you operate from a position of a lack of knowledge, there is a tendency to make unsound judgments about certain things; grants rank high on this list. In other words, a lot of people are skeptical about grants because they don’t understand the process and need a system to guide them through the process. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You Should Attend Paul’s Grant Training Because For The Following Reason&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UNIQUE PROPRIETARY System For Obtaining Free Grant Money&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul has over 28 years of contracting and grant experience.

I founded The Paul Lawrence Vann Foundation a few years ago and was awarded a grant to teach youth financial literacy and authorship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can do the same, but before you do you must know what you're passionate about in your community and go after it with your entire being.

I learned that to obtain a free government grant one has to build relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You heard right, one must be able to work with local government officials, state representatives, corporations, and other nonprofits. Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obtaining grants is about making your community better, people make up communities thats why it's important to understand the nonprofit arena is about helping make people lives better than they were before you met them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Wealth Building Academy is sponsoring, "The Grant Money Success Program" to help people learn how to obtain &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"FREE MONEY."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Last year the Paul Lawrence Vann Foundation applied for and received a grant in support of it's youth financial literacy and authorship program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Grant Money Success Program &lt;/em&gt;will teach you how to obtain government grants, we focus on what you're passionate about in your community and how you can see it through to fruition.

I delivered a speech at the Health &amp;amp; Safety Canada 2007, IAPA Convention and it illustrates the kind of opportunities available to speakers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So how can you capitalize on the awesome power of public speaking? I'll explain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's plain and simple, speaking opportunities will generate more speaking opportunities for you and increase your business bottom line. I truly believe 80% of business success is showing up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As evidenced in this picture speaking affords one a window of opportunity that is unmatched by any other single activity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why? I am glad you asked.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Working with meeting planners is crucial to your success because it gives you an opportunity to network with decision makers. Event planners and meeting planners are connected to an unlimited number of businesses and they are always looking for speakers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Case in point, every year in practically every city a convention comes to a town near you. This presents a golden opportunity for you to market your business from the platform. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;When you are invited by a meeting planner to speak in front of a civic organization, accepted it and get onthe platform because you are marketing your business from the moment you open your mouth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Listen to me on &lt;strong&gt;December 7, 6:00pm&lt;/strong&gt; on the Wealthy Speaker Show: &lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/paullawrencevann"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.blogtalkradio.com/paullawrencevann&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. I will be discussing this very topic because it is a wealth creation technique many of the top speakers in the world use to position them to generate more leads for this business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Wealthy Speaker Show&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(866) 337-2026&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:paul@paullawrencevann.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;paul@paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/paullawrencevann"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.blogtalkradio.com/paullawrencevann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

My favorite quote is "Jesus is the reason for the season." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Wow, December is here and Christmas is just around the corner. I want you to make this Christmas your best yet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Wealth Building Academy and our entire staff wish you a very Merry Christmas. Let's not t forget those less fortunate than ourselves because Christmas is a tough time of the year for a lot of people because they can't afford to buy gifts for their children or loved ones.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;As you know, Christmas is all about giving. I'll define why so you will have an even greater understanding.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you are fortunate enough to be rich and or wealthy and have an abundance of material things in your life, ask yourself the following question, "Do I really need this, that, or the other?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ten times out of ten most people will answer by saying NO. Why?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;No one needs everything because they don't have the time to use it. On the other hand, if you have an abundance of wealth and is considered rich, help the homeless and people that need food to eat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Christmas truly is the season for giving and if you have it, give it to someone that can really use a helping hand this holiday season. I encourage you to give like you've never given before, it will make you a much better person in the process. Merry Christmas and may the Lord bless and keep you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wealth Building Academy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(866) 337-2026&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fax (866) 337-2026&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/paullawrencevann"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.blogtalkradio.com/paullawrencevann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

What do I mean by this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have greatness on the inside of you, use the gifts and talents you have and in the process create your own money tree. You don't have to be rich to live a high quality of life, but if you have a chance to be rich would you pursue it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone asked me if I want to be rich I would say yes. The fact of the matter is I'm already rich because I took action when someone aked me if I wanted to be rich, not only did I respond by saying yes, I took action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my question to you is, "Do you want to be rich?" I asked you this question because &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I coach people how to generate cashflow whether it's with real estate, asset protection, obtaining grants to purchase real estate, or partnering to purchase apartments.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now is the right time to invest in real estate because of record foreclosures and the golden opportunity to capaitalize on preforeclosure properties.

I inform people they simply need a rock solid wealth generating system in place and they can have whatever their hearts desire. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Usually the conversation ends with people deciding to live a mundane lifestyle without trying. In fact, most of the people I speak with often want something for nothing and this kind of attitude will never make you rich. I had a strong desire to be rich because I grew up in abject poverty and I like being rich. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I founded the Wealth Building Academy to help people learn how to make more money, save more money and to embrace principles leading to living a high quality of life. Why should you contact me to coach you everything I know? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Plain and simple I will teach you how to generate cashflow, because it doesn't matter how much you spend as long as you are generating cashflow. Some of the things I will teach you: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. Structure your business to make it bullet proof from taxes, asset security system. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. How to capitalize on record foreclosures and make mnoey in a down real estate market. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. Establish corporate credit in order to improve your personal credit. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4. Obtain grants to purchase real estate or start a nonprofit. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;5. Partner to purchase apartment buildings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;6. Learn to become a professional speaker. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;7. Learn how to become a published author and become recognized as an expert in the process.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;In order to achieve your financial goals you must set achievable goals. The only difference between you and someone rich is they are knowledgeable and have the skills to succeed in any market condition. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why do you need someone to coach you how to become wealthy? Contact Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and oher renowned wealthy people and they will tell you they have experts to teach them how to make more money and trust me they invest heavily in becoming wealthier each and every day. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I want to be your wealth coach and I know I can take you from poverty to wealth.

I along with the entire staff of the Wealth Building Academy wish you a Happy Thanksgiving Holiday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanksgiving is the perfect time for family to get together to share in the harvest of the year. In other words, it affords us an opportunity to really focus on the true meaning of being thankful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God has richly blessed us in spite of our shortcomings, thus it gives us an oppportunity to thank him for his grace and mercy. Jesus is truly the reason why we're here to be a living example of what's possible, if we have faith to see beyond the obstacles and pitfalls of life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take a look at the picture above. Some people won't be able to feast this Thanksgiving. In fact, many people are homeless and starving every day. Do me a favor and provide donations to food banks, deliver meals to lonely seniors, or to homeless families.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the reasons we're so blessed is because God knows we will be a blessing to others less fortunate. Step up to the awesome challenge of knowing you can make a world of difference this Thanksgiving and in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Identify an organization in your community and help them by providing time, resources, your network of helping hands to make a difference in your community. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings to you and your family.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wealth Building Academy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.paullawrencevann.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:paul@paullawrencevann.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;paul@paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Phone: (866) 337-2026&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fax: (866) 337-2026&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

I'm glad you asked. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Plain and simple, it's a buyers market. With record foreclosures resulting from the subprime lending crisis one can purchase homes well below the asking price. People that lose their homes to foreclosure still need a place to stay and you can provide a great service to families by putting tenants in the properties you own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mentor, Loral Langemeier states and I quote, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"There are golden opportunities for knowlegeable and skilled wealth builders. They know what to do when markets are low. Those who know the strategies to achieve wealth in a down market are planning to launch a strategic plan to fill their portfolios."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's time you started investing in yourself. Learn how to build wealth through real estate and make more money, save more money, and live the quality of life you so richly deserve. Sign up for my &lt;strong&gt;"Real Estate Boot Camp" &lt;/strong&gt;and become financially independent in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll see you at the Real Estate Boot Camp on December 1-2, 2007. Until then have a prosperous time and prepare for an awesome experience. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Founder and CEO&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wealth Building Academy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Phone: (866) 337-2026&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fax: (866) 337-2026&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;http://www.paullawrencevann.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;http://www.livingonhigherground.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

John&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;played professional basketball for the NBA for five years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is considered to be one of the most intelligent people inthe world. Standing 6'9 and weighing 320 pounds, he made quite an impact on the NBA. John is the only person of British descent to play in the NBA and he represented them well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Amechi wrote The Man in The Middle to open discuss and have a conversation about being a gay athlete. At the Capitol BookFest he confronted questions such as, "Are you going to get married?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A journalist also asked, "Does the fact that you are gay cause problems for you in your business?" John Amechi is a clinical pyschologist and works with corporations in his profession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being a diversity expert, I understand where John Amechi is coming from. In other words, labels build barriers for people who don't conform to the norms and mores of society as we know it today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked John if he was going to write more books in the future and he informed me that he is planning to write more books in the future. During the time I spoke with him I discovered that John Amechi is a great human being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being an author allowed me an opportunity to meet John Amechi it helped me understand the depth of his intellect. We should all take a lesson from John, we all have mountains of potential inside of us, the only thing we have to do is cultivate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;br /&gt;The Wealth Building Academy&lt;br /&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E 144&lt;br /&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;br /&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;http://paullawrencevann.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;http://www.livingonhigherground.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

Link to view the schedule of events and the authors: &lt;a href="http://www.capitalbookfest.org/"&gt;http://www.capitalbookfest.org/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to Co-Founders Kwame Alexander and Carla Nelson this is the third year for this community literacy program in Prince Georges County, MD. Even more significant than this being a local community event, it has become an international event because of the authors that travel from around the world to spread their message through books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kwame, Carla and a long list of supporters from the Prince Georges County community believe in the students and families and hedge us up with their support.

Kwame is Co-Founder of the Capital BookFest, this is the third year for this outstanding community literacy oriented event.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;On the picture above you will find me with two of 20 co-authors of the book, invisible? The young man to my left is Malcolm Towler and the young lady to my right is Jasmine Taylor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is the first book for Malcolm, Jasmine and the 18 other co-authors. I encourage you to buy invisible? We must support these outstanding Crossland High School students because they represent our future and as you can see this book is just the beginning for these students.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let me explain how this book was written and published because it represents excellence. As I stated earlier, Kwame Alexander and Carla Nelson are Co-founders of the Capitol BookFest and each year they come up with a different work, specifically in a book genre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This year Kwame had this brilliant idea. What if you put 20 high school students into a classroom for one day and taught them how to craft good poems--baiku, free verse, etc.---and just let them write about anything they wanted. Allow them to express their thoughts, feelings, ideas (drama) about their world. And, what if you equipped these students with the tools to actually publish a collection of those poems. In one day?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Could they summon the focus and courage to accomplish such a lofty goal? Kwame stated, "Could I show them how to Do The Write Thing in 24 hours?" Would it be fun and insightful? Could they produce a piece of work that made them no longer.... invisible?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The answer is a resounding yes, because 20 Crossland High School students co-wrote "invisible? in one day as a part of Kwame Alexander's Book-in-a-Day program. To learn more about Kwame Alexander and his program visit: &lt;a href="http://www.bookinaday.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;http://www.bookinaday.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ISBN 13 for the book invisible? is:&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; 978-1-888018-39-4&lt;/span&gt;. I challenge each of you reading this blog to purchase this book of poetry because it represents the best of the students at Crossland High School, all of Prince Georges County, and the entire state of Maryland and it lets you know, these students are not invisible by any stretch of the imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;By the way, Malcom and Jasmine autographed my copy of Invisible?, and I know this is just the beginning for them and the other co-authors. We must stand with them as they put their message into the world, the best way to support them is by purchasing invisible?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I encourage you to attend the 2007 Capitol BookFest on October 7, at Border Books located at the Blvd at Cap Center from 10:00-7:00pm.

Last Friday, while volunteering at the Authors Pavilion I met actress Victoria Rowell.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Victoria has appeared in a lot of movies and on numerous television shows.

I volunteered to assist Karibu Books for two days and it resulted in me meeting great people and I will be back next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Ms. West for being so gracious and for being for real.

Was it fun?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was so much fun and I plan on participating next year as well. I'm standing on the right (sun glasses) holding my book that was recently purchased by Farrell Chiles from Pomona, California. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This event gave me yet another opportunity to sell, promote, showcase and display my book for people from all over the world. How much did this event cost me, it did not cost a penny.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;In fact, I volunteered for two days prior to my book signing and networked, networked, networked with a lot of other local, regional, national, and international authors and entertainers. To anyone in the writing and publishing business I cannot help but to emphasis the value of volunteering for something you love to do.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm a professional speaker and author and I gurantee you, this will add dollars and cents to my company's bottom line. I was able to network with federal agencies and was provided with the names and email addresses of training directors, this was a very productive event for me and it will be for you as long as you think like an entrepreneur.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't forget to think of the long term value of meeting new people, many of them like minded in nature. You will succeed as long as you keep your eyes focused on the end result which consist of where you envision yourself  speaking and publishing books five years from now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Get off the couch and off the sidelines and make your success happen. I'll see you at the top.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Wealth Building Academy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wealthbuildingacademy.biz/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.wealthbuildingacademy.biz&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

I finished having lunch with Dottie Walters, my mentor and the last session we covered at her Magnificent Marketing Symposium was how to write a book.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After saying good bye to Dottie and other attendees at the table, I hurried to my rental car and left Burbank enroute to the Long Beach, California Airport. I made it through security with no problems, confirmed my reservation with Jet Blue Airlines and found a comfortable chair to sit in awaiting my departure flight back to Washington, DC.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Prior to departing on my flight, I had some extra time on my hands so I decided to review the marketing, speaking, and book publishing notes I had taken over the past three days. I was so inspired by people like Bruce Cameron, Lou Ferrigno, Tom Antion, Gayl Murphy and the other outstanding presenters and attendees that I decided right then and there to write my first book. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just as I began to write the strategy for my book, the Jet Blue representative stated, "Passengers flying to Washington Dulles we're about to begin the boarding process." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I stood in line, boarded the plane, walked to my seat and I fastended my seat belt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had my notebook with and as the plane took off, so did my journey of becoming an author. Over the duration of my five hour flight, the first thing I did was set a goal to start and finish my book. I decided to begin writing my book in a month, October 19, 2004. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My goal was to write my first book in 30 days or less. I had attempted to write a book before but I was overcome by events and never finished.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;While reviewing my notes, I realized I had meet professionals in the book publishing at the late Dottie Walters symposium. In fact there were cover design, editing, and copywriting experts that I eventually hored to assist me in completing my book project. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;At that point I had a credible list of industry professionals to call upon once I wrote my book. The fact that I had experts to call upon put me ahead of the curve because I didn't have to interview anyonrebecause I had already listened to their presentations and saw their work first hand.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On the flight I decided to write a book about my life and the role motivation plays in it. My book began with visualization. I visualized myself being an author and I could see myself at book signing events, speaking and selling, speaking, and selling. Five hours later my flight arrived at Washington Dulles Airport. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After picking up my bags, I took the shuttle to my car and I drove home clutching the notes I had taken over the course of my cross country flight. Two weeks before beginning the writing process, I looked at my library and found my autographed copy of The Self-Publishing Manual, written by a friend of mine named Dan Poynter. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Fast forward to October 19, 2004 it was me, my notes and my laptop stirring at one another. I immediately typed the first word, it was the first of many titles so I typed, The Power of Motivation. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wrote my first chapter on the first day, it began with me being born into the world. I wanted to pay tribute to my mother, father, relatives and people in the small town I grew up in. Thirty days later I finished the first draft of my book and on Novermber 19, 2004, I contacted the book cover design, copy writing, and interior design expert I met in Burbank at Dottie's symposium. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I emailed my files to these experts and five months later my books had arrived from the book printing company and I was in tears. My wife and I looked at each other and we said, "We did it." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Prior to completing my book, I set up a website and pre-sold quite a few books and by the time the books arrived my database list was demanding autographed copies of, Living on Higher Ground: How to live with passion, motivation and joy. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In May 2005, I had a decision to make and it was very timely. I decided to create a book tour and since I had served over 20 years in the United States Air Force, I decided to conduct a book tour at every military base I could locate. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not only did I contact the managers of the base exchanges, they need authors and artist and all manner of vendors to sell their products to their target market. I held my first book signing at Bolling AFB on Mother's Day weekend, military personnel love their moms and my book was a great gift for them to purchase. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So Mother's Day 2005 will always be a memorable day for my first book because it represented my introduction to book promotion and marketing. That book signing provided momentum for my book and my speaking career. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It all started with a vision for becoming an author, you will notice throughout the process I continued to take the action step, without it you will not be able to become a published author. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I didn't have a distributor, however Amazon.com listed my book. Local bookstores adopted me, libraries want local authors, I was selected to be on panels discussing my book and I advertised in the Radio Television Interview Report and radio interviews began to pile up. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Baker and Taylor a major book distributor picked up my book and now they distribute it for me. My speaking engagements also picked up and I contribute articles to online ezines such as &lt;a href="http://www.ezinearticles.com/"&gt;http://www.ezinearticles.com/&lt;/a&gt;, I'm a quaterly contributor to Sharing Ideas Magazine, Dottie''s magazine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Writing a book changed my life and it will change yours as well, prepare to become a little bit famous or even very famous. You can do this, never ever give up on your dream to become a published author because the world needs to hear your message and they can do it through your book.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(301) 567-4954, fax&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.paullawrencevann.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.livingonhigherground.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

We saw a lot of things we had never seen before, ate good food, and had a great time fellowshipping as a family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;One of the most enjoyable times we had was at the MGM Studios. Why? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There is an entire studio dedicated to the life and times of Walt Disney. Most people don't know Walt Disney died prior to Disney World being developed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;In fact, at the dedication ceremony Mrs. Disney stated, "Even though Walt isn't here to see Disney World with you he was such a powerful dreamer, he saw this before we did." In other words, Mr. Disney knew what Disney World would look like before the development was completed. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What a visionary and forward thinking man. I was very impressed by the Disney Studio because it chronicles his life. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One can not help but marvel at a man that dreamed big dreams and brought his dreams to fruition. Walt Disney's life is a great example of what is possible for each of us, we simply have to have the courage to see our dreams through to reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I encourage you to dream "BIG" dreams and never allow mediocity to creep in and sabotage you. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, take that step today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

Now more than ever we need peace around the world. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The past six years have proven that war is not the answer to the world's problems, in fact it has changed humanity. We need prayer warriors to pray for an end to the war in Iraq and the rest of the world. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Futility is the word that comes to mind when I think about war. I served over 20 years in the military and I have never seen a global disaster as I have witnessed in Iraq and Afghanistan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;War perpetuates more war. Peace is the only way to put an end to the death and destruction taking place all over the world. Sadly people in leadership positions are turning a blind eye to the carnage taking place all over the world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We're putting all of humanity at risk by failing to seek options for peace. We need to seek peace  all over the world, it will extend our time on this planet and us help heal the earth. We should never forget those who lost their lives on 9/11 and pray that God will have mercy on us all because we're all in this together. Pray without ceasing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.paullawrencevann.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.livingonhigherground.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

Roger Federer was seeking his fourth straight US Open singles title, however prior to the match with Novak Dujokovic he was interviewed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The interviewer asked Federer, "Do you get nervous before a match?" Great question, Roger responded by stating, "Yes I get nervous, I shake, get cold chills, and feel the pressure associated with my attempt to win another major tennis title." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was blown away by Federer's response considering the fact he was pursuing his 12 major tennis championship and he is only 26 years old. Keep in mind the fact, the all-time record for major titles is 14. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is a lesson for all speakers around the world, even if you get a little nervous it's a sign you are human. Don't allow a little nervousness to put you on the sidelines delivering your speech.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Roger Federer won his 4th straight US Open championship and his 12th major tennis tournament on Sunday because he was able to manage his nervousness and prevail in the end. As public speakers we can be victorious as well as long as we manage the butterflies and ensure they fly in the same formation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't ever put too much pressure on yourself, live in the moment and you will be victorious speaking on the platform. If Roger Federer can do it, so can you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.paullawrencevann.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.livingonhigherground.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

Why?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's important that you give people more content and information to help them improve their lives and receive answers to the questions they have. Anything less than a full commitment will be viewed as an incomplete program.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Another way of putting it consist of people not fully understanding the training or seminar you're delivering. If people leave your program and yet their evaluation states they didn't understand what you were talking about, its probably because you held back.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Holding back important information and content will result in a one and done engagement, you don't want this situation. What you want is to be invited back to speak to your audiences time and time again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So go out there and deliver, give everything you've got and ensure you don't hold anything back. Your future speaking engagements depend on it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:paul@paullawrencevann.com"&gt;paul@paullawrencevann.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paul@paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.paul@paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

I thank God for bringing me into the earthly realm and my parents for being the conduit for raising me into the man I am today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never take my birthday for granted because nothing is promised in life, that's why I honor this day. As I celebrate my 49th birthday I will look forward to the future because my destiny is in my future, not my past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My family and I are celebrating my birthday at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Nothing is better than spending time with your family, for me my wife and two children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason why I'm happy is because I'm living my dreams as a professional speaker, trainer, coach, and author. I encourage you to have a burning desire to live your passion in your chosen field of endeavor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

For me, the month of September is my birth month and in keeping with my parents, I have a strong work ethic because I want more out of life than mediocrity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;For those of you who want to know about the history of Labor Day, I provided a synopsis for you below. Enjoy the read and appreciate the importance and significance of this day. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Labor Day has been celebrated on the first Monday in September in the United States since the 1880s. The form that the observance and celebration of Labor Day should take were outlined in the first proposal of the holiday — a street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;This became the pattern for the celebrations of Labor Day. Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civic significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you are employed or an entrepreneur, be thankful for what you have because a lot of opportunities are being outsourced and the jobs are being sent overseas. My formula for overcoming the outsourcing epidemic is to create jobs, become an entrepreneur.  Happy Labor Day and many blessings to you and your family. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.paullawrencevann.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.livingonhigherground.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

Unless you get every ounce out of life you will not live a "BIG" life. &lt;p&gt;The Labor Day holiday is upon us and it provides an opportunity for us to reflect on the reality we are truly blessed. I know I am because I have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm living an incredible life, one in which I meet millionaires and billionaires and learn how they were able to carve out a wonderful life for themselves and their family. I'm learning from them because I am going to model my business philosophy after the millionaires and billionaires I meet and mentor me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being excited about life has everything to do with understanding what your source is. For me, I have Faith in a God of unlimited resources, primarily wisdom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have Godly wisdom no obstacle in life can or will stop you from achieving success.

I have and will continue to invest in my speaking career and you should do the same.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;When I tell people I'm going to attend a speaker training program or workshop they state, 'You're already a professional speaker." "Tiger Woods is the world's best golfer, he has numerous coaches," I state to people. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If the world's greatest golfer has coaches, I believe we should all have a coach or two. By attending speaker training you will meet some of the world's best speakers and you should invest in your future by investing in your career. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm currently attending a speaker training program and trust me, I will become one of the best speakers in the industry because I'm learning things I was not aware of. To be the best you must come under the tutelage of the best in your industry as well. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The primary reason you should continously attend workshops, seminars, and training is because you will gain invaluable knowledge and be able to deliver better information to your audience. Learning should be a lifelong undertaking and you must continue to seek as much knowledge as possible if you want to known as an expert in your industry.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

In other words, don't leave anything to chance by taking a ho, hum approach to this honor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so passionate about speaking, I can't think of anything more exciting than inspiring and motivating members of the audience. I encourage you to take your speaking game to the next level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are an average speaker, work to make yourself a good speaker. Likewise if you are a good speaker, work to make yourself a great speaker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do I mean by speaking game? Glad you asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are invited, hired, or requested to speak in front of an audience, give 1000%. The reason you should give 1000% percent of your effort is because speaking is the most important act a person can undertake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your message is important and should be treated with all the respect of a relationship. In fact, speaking is a relationship between you the speaker and members of the audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listed below you will find the three (3) primary reasons why you should take your speaking game to the next level:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.) You matter, otherwise you would not have been selected to deliver the message to the audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.) Your audience matters, without them you don't matter. Treat your audience with dignity and respect at all times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.) Speak as if your life depends on it because it does. The next speech you give may determine your longevity with the company, organization, or employer you're working with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These and other reasons support the need for you to take your speaking game to the next level. I have confidence in you and there is no doubt you will succeed as long as you understand the significance of taking your speaking game to the next level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:paul@paullawrencevann.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;paul@paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(301) 567-4954&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

The next time you are scheduled to deliver a speech in front of an audience, before you deliver it take the following assessment:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.) Do you have a fear of public speaking? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.) Do you respect the process involved in public speaking, in other words do you conduct the level of research required to know your topic inside and out?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.) Do you practice your speech in front of a mirror, in front of family members or friends, or do you tape it? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4.) Are you honest with yourself about your abilities to deliver a speech in front of an audience? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.) Can you honestly say you are putting forth your best effort as you prepare for speeches? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.) How many hours do you practice your speech? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.) What let's you know you delivered your best speech possible?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason I asked these questions is because they have a lot to say about your passion for becoming the best speaker you can be. It takes hard work to become a good speaker, most people do not realize the amount of effort required to deliver one speech.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professional speakers do not take their clients for granted because they know how important their message is and how they will change people. If you want to become the best speaker you can be, you must understand the impact your speech will have on your audience and do everything you have to do to add value to your next speaking engagement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to move into the future without fear of public speaking, you must come to terms with the genesis of your fear. I have learned over the years that the best way to overcome fear is to face your fears head on.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are probably saying, sure that is easy for you to say, you are a professional speaker. I want you to understand I was not always a professional speaker, in fact, I invested a lot of money and more importantly time becoming a professional speaker.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was I nervous when I delivered my first professional speech? I was more nervous than you are now. How was I able to overcome my fear? I called every organization I wanted to speak to and I arranged to deliver a different speech at every venue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;By delivering different speeches, sometimes three to four a day, I learned how to respect the art and science of public speaking. My efforts resulted in me facing my fear of public speaking head on. I knew if I could deliver three or four different speeches in the same day, I could deliver one speech to a client with no problems.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am passionate about public speaking and more determined than ever to prove to myself that I can stand on the platform and deliver a stellar speech, resonate with the audience and speak with them rather than at them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next time you have an opportunity to see a professional speaker deliver a message, notice their relationship with the audience. The first thing you will notice is how confident the speaker is, it means they have researched the topic, organization, and audience and know as much about the organization as the employees.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you will notice how a professional speaker respects the audience and never talks down to the audience members, in fact they build the audience up. In other words, professional speakers are responsible for the audience, not to them. In other words, a professional speaker is responsible for delivering a speech but not the response from the audience, its something a speaker cannot control.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I state to my peers in the speaking industry, I only get nervous if I do not have an audience to speak to. You can become an effective public speaker once you make an adjustment and align your internal (mental) mechanism or confidence, with your external (voice and body) abilities, then and only then will you be able to overcome the obstacles to your speaker success.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be more, do more, and achieve more as a public speaker by facing your public speaking fears.

Write a dynamic speech and be on fire and your audience will want to hear you again and again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2.) Practice, practice, and after you finish practicing, practice some more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;3.) Market, market, market to your prospective clients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In other words, in order to become a top tier professional speaker you must work hard and earn your position as a top tier speaker, it will not be given to you because it's very competitive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Want to know how you can become a top tier speaker? I'm glad you asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;First and foremost you must write an electrifying speech. You will need to write the kind of speech that will position you to burn, in other words when people see smoke they gravitate to a fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Top tier speakers are on fire when they have written a thought-provoking and humorous speech, the kind that resonates with their audience and change lives. After you write your dynamic speech, practice as if you're preparing for a state of the union address.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Top tier speakers consistently practice their speech and or material until it becomes a part of their being. For example, George Burns delivered the same program for over 23 years, and he would not step on the stage until he had practiced his rountine over and over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I provide speaker coaching to young and up and coming speakers and some of them informed me they don't write their speeches, nor do they practice. I encourgaed them to write their speeches and practice until they mastered their talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These young neophytes stated, I speak from the heart and have God given speaking ability. I never argue with young upstarts because I know they will be entering the speaking school of hard knocks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;How do I know this? If the young upstarts were as gifted a speaker as they say, why would they need a professional speaking coach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The bottom line is the bottom line when it comes to professional speaking, if you don't practice your speech prior to your engagement you will deliver a flat, uninspiring, and dull speech because you will be fumbling for what you want to say next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;As Mr. T use to say, "Pity the fool." Only a fool ignores sage advice. If you want to be invited back to speak to an audience, you had better do your due diligence and practice like a professional speaker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The third and last thing you must do to become a top tier speaker is to market your programs. You might be saying market, I'm not a marketer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The minute you set your foot on the platform, you're marketing. Whether you're delivering a motivational speech, conducting training, or consulting you're marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;A couple of ways to market your programs to clients is through email campaigns, postcard mailings, trifolds outlining what you do, and phone calls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Over the years, I've received several mailings and emails from other speakers and have come to the conclusion that top tier speakers have a marketing machine behind them. What does this do for top tier professional speakers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Consistent marketing provides a platform for what's called "exposures." Top tier speakers gain new customers by consistently being in the face of the clients they want to do business with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Marketing is the difference maker between a top tier speaker and a want to be, young upstart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't stay on the side line, get in the game of professional speaking and get in it to win and make a positive difference in the lives of the people in the audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(301) 567-4954 Fax&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:paul@paullawrencevann.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;paul@paullawrencevann.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

Last week in Washington, DC I met one of the world's most amazing people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While attending the Enlightened Wealth Institute Wealth Retreat, I had the pleasure of listening to a world class athlete. Want to know who it is? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No more suspense, this man is 70 years old and is the oldest person to summit seven of the highest mountains in seven continents. Werner Berger is an amazing man, on May 22, 2007 he reached the summit of Mount Everest and propelled himself into the record books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Werner accomplished this mountain climbing feat at the tender age of 69, he recently celebrated his 70th birthday in July. I spoke with Werner and he informed me that he is compelled to summit mountains because he is passionate about the challenge of climbing beautiful mountains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During his interview with Matt Lauer on June 4, 2007, Werner informed Matt that climbing Mount Everest was the biggest challenge he has ever faced. In fact, Werner stated his body was ready for the climb, however he encountered fears and doubt on his journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key takeaway I want you to get is the following: Werner stated, "In order to overcome his fears and doubts he had to make a mental adjustment so his mind and body could become one."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, by making the mental adjustment Werner Berger was able to complete his summit on top of Mount Everest. Listening to Werner really inspired me and I will never forget what he said about making adjustments internally to accomplish great feats in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To learn more about Werner Berger, visit: &lt;a href="http://www.meetmeatthetop.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.meetmeatthetop.com&lt;/strong&gt;/&lt;/a&gt;. There is a link on his website that will allow you to see his interview with Matt Lauer on The Today Show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, Werner asked me to join him in Tanzania, Africa next year to participate in the peace and leadership summit on Mount Kilimanjaro and I accepted his invitation. Please join us on this journey, go to the website lsited above to learn more about Werner Berger and his incredible feats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;9&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;38 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;br /&gt;(301) 567-4954 Fax&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;http://www.paullawrencevann.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;http://www.livingonhigherground.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

Dyer informs us what he is offering in his book is the awareness that we can return to a full-time position of inspiration, which is the true meaning of our life. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That being said, we were born to inspire one another. In other words, inspiration is what moves us to make humanity and our community better.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A powerful example of inspiration can be found at this link: &lt;a href="http://www.militarytimes.com/multimedia/video/hancockportraits_070702/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.militarytimes.com/multimedia/video/hancockportraits_070702/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Other examples of inspiration is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Gates Foundation is changing humanity by offering scholarships to youth in order that they attend college, building more libraries, and provide vaccine for Aids.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Inspiration is truly your ultimate calling and I challenge you to be an inspiration to others, after all, its your ultimate calling.

There is much to be thankful for and the question remains, is a day on or off?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ask this question of you because many of our citizens only view July 4th as a day to go to the beach, host a cook out or to see fireworks. Our founding fathers didn't fight the good fight of freedom just so we could have a party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm talking about a way of life, liberty, freedom and the pursuit of happiness includes men and women in uniform laying down their life so we can live. In fact, the 4th of July is a day on for our military, police, firefighters and the like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just to illustrate what I'm talking about, take a look at the video at the link below and you will know why freedom is not free:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.militarytimes.com/multimedia/video/hancock/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.militarytimes.com/multimedia/video/hancock/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy 4th of July and be thankful for the country you live in. Enjoy but understand this is a day on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

Not only did I serve over 20 years in the military and retire five years ago, I also became a professional speaker and author.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sure there are higher profile speakers and best selling authors but it doesn't phase me because I am doing my thing, they are doing theirs. As the story goes, we're all achieving a common goal, inspiring others to reach beyond their current limits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nothing can be finer than being introduced to a new audience, deliver a stellar performance and make a difference in the lives of others. What about you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Are you going to leave a mark in the earth long after you're gone or will you simply pack it up and call it a good life. What's beautiful about life is that you get a chance to make a choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So the question still stands, are you going to pursue your manifest destiny or will you settle for less? Settle for less and you will always wonder what shoulda, woulda, coulda happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you go for it and pursue your manifest destiny you will unequivocally know you were in the game. Being in the game gives you a 100% chance of knowing you did all you could to make a better life for yourself and for humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We aren't limited by a mark or point in time, speed, space, or capacity, thus we can live without limits. I challenge you to reach for the moon and if by chance you miss, you'll still be a star.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fax: (301) 567-4954&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

The audience was moved to learn limit implies setting a point in time, speed, space or capacity beyond which something is not permitted to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's not all, audience members learned to overcome failure consciousness in order to embrace success consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, attendees learned in order to transform and remake themselves they would have to change their thoughts in order to attract the things that wanted, rather than the things they don't want. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More important than anyting the audience were inspired to a call to action in the form of taking the action step in their life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but certainly not least, audience members learned a three-fold mainfold process for living large. This process incorporates a trinity consisting of faith, determination, and focus (FDF).&lt;br /&gt;No one will achieve success without having faith in something greater than themselves, the determination of a pit bull dog and laser beam focus that knows no boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can have it all, live large, and begin Living Without Limits as long as you understand renowned motivational speaker Les Brown's quote, "Life has no limitations, only those you make."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the challenge and begin Living on Higher Ground. I'll see you at the top!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Motivational Speaker and Author&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;1-800-476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fax:(301) 567-4954 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gjiFT3BNMMw/Rnu-BM7B2CI/AAAAAAAAAIA/wea-2_0hEuI/s1600-h/tn_100_1467.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

I want you to understand you can be more, do more, and achieve more in life once you come into your fullness which consist of believing in yourself. For example, the surfer in the picture above wouldn't be able to negotiate the pipeline (interior of the wave) if he didn't have the conquering force within. The conquering force within has everything to do with facing your fears, learning from your mistakes and making adjustments along the way. Take it from me, once you come into the fulllness of yourself you will be able to be more, do more, and achieve more in life. Think about the unlimited possibilities of living a life filled with hope because in the end that's what this journey is all about. We've all witnessed people in a down and out position before. They are often in a position of homelessness, poverty, or unemployed. The bottom line is, irregardless of one's position in life everyone has value. Circumstances in life may throw you a curve ball, make adjustments in your life and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Be more, do more, and achieve more in your life and negotiate the pipeline in your life in order to live a victorious life.

I'm afraid to stand in front of an audience to speak. These and many other like them are the responses I get from people from all walks of life. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ironically the number one fear in the world is not death, nor terrorism. In fact the number one fear in the world is public speaking. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In order to overcome the fear of public speaking, one must come to terms with their internal faculties. In other words, fear resides on the inside and must be addressed head on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Seven (7) ways to overcome the fear of public speaking is listed below: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.) If you have to give a speech at work or to an organization you belong to, prepare for your speech by making a full commitment to ensure it succeeds. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2.) The key to speaker success is to practice, practice, practice. Without practice you will become fearful because you know you haven't done the work required to deliver your message in a receptive manner.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3.) Fear of speaking is more mental than anything else. Why? One must mentally see him or herself delivering a speech to their audience, in other words visualization. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4.) After you have practiced until you can deliver the speech backwards. Record your speech and while practicing, put yourself in the frame of mind as if you're standing in front of the audience you will be speaking to. Listen to the recording and find ways to improve on what you have accomplished thus far. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;5.) Make a commitment to overcome your fear of public speaking by correcting your self talk. In other words, have confidence in yourself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;6.) Get plenty of rest the night before the speech and or presentation. Resting will give you a good outlook for your big day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;7.) Prior to being introduced to speak, take a deep breath and deliver your speech like a professional. You can do all things through confidence. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Any fear known to man resides on the inside of him, be comfortable in your own skin and others will see the confidence as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Professional Speaking Coach&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fax (301) 567-4954&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

At a recent speaking engagement I informed the audience they need three things in order to be successful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First and foremost in order to be successful one needs to have faith. Show me a person without faith and I will show you a person thirsting for direction. It's one thing to believe in something, but it's another to have faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact one can believe in anything however it doesn't mean the reality they seek will present itself. Having faith means you believe in something greater than yourself and you serve it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;In other words, when you have faith you connect with something far more powerful than yourself. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next thing people need in order to be successful is determination. Make no mistake about it, determination is the difference maker in life for successful people. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example, over a five year period of time most businesses fail. Just because a business fails doesn't stop entrepreneurs from pursuing other business opportunities. &lt;/p&gt;One can say determination is the linchpin for all success because one has an unwavering determination to see their dream in motion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third and last thing people must possess in order to achieve success is focus. The bottom line is, if a person doesn't have focus they will be moved by any wind of doctrine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laser beam focus is required to achieve greatness because of the number of challenges people face on a daily basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I'm delivering one of my high energy messages to an audience, I share my formula for success. My formula reads as follows: Faith+Determination+Focus = Success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always leave your audience wanting more and they will invite you back for additional speaking opportunities. Until the next time have Faith, Determination, and Focus and you will resonate with your audience every time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Motivational Speaker and Author&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. 144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-800-476-8976&lt;br /&gt;Fax: (301) 567-4954&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To learn more, visit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com"&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com"&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

In fact, I attended the Harvard of professional speaking schools, The Bill Gove Speech Workshop." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's not all, I also joined the local Washington, DC Chapter of the National Speakers Association (NSA) and completed their mentorship program. I also joined a local Toastmasters club, as you can see I took the action step by learning from other professional speakers and network with organizations involved with speaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition I obtained coaching from the legend, Dottie Walters who in my estimation played the greatest role in my ability to not only learn about platform skills but also the business aspects of the speaking industry as a whole. To the people who don't think coaching, mentorship and networking is not important to your growth and development, I say think again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;View a short video clip of a speech I delivered in Delaware last fall and see the passion involved in being a professional speaker and I can coach you to do the same. Enjoy the clip and let me know what you think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Video Link: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/paulspeaks"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.youtube.com/paulspeaks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;br /&gt;Motivational Speaker and Author&lt;br /&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;br /&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. #144&lt;br /&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;(800) 476-8976&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com"&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com"&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

My expectations were very high considering the build up of this motivational speaker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The buildup from the movie and the book raised my expectations for hearing a dynamic speech from one of the most talked about personalities in the world. Trust me, Chris Gardner did not disappoint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Health &amp; Safety Canada 2007, IAPA convention had over 6,500 people in attendance and the hall was standing room only. Mr. Pursuit of Happyness was entertaining, dynamic, humble, and in the zone delivering his keynote address.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line is Chris Gardner inspired each of us to not only follow our dreams, but if you want something go and get it. What does this mean? It means there will be obstacles along the way, however determination is the key that opens the door to your success in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never, ever give up or give in to defeat because you are likely closer to attaining your goal than you think. Not only did I listen to a great speaker but I was also able to get him to autograph his book for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I encourage each of you to pursue your happyness and to live a long and prosperous life. You deserve the best in life and I agree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Coach Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;br /&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;br /&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. #144&lt;br /&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;1-800-476-8976&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com"&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com"&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

Today I will be delivering a diversity speech at the Health &amp;amp; Safety Canada 2007, IAPA Convention in Toronto, Canada.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have visited Toronto before and looking forward to speaking at the convention. Why do I enjoy speaking at international venues?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The host city really rolls out the hospitality for visiting speakers and the audience. In other words, this is one of the largest events this association will hold during the year. Being an international speaker gives me more leverage for future speaking engagements and I have an opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds. I'm passionate about speaking and increasing my platform to get my message to audiences pertaining to my topics: motivation, leadership, and diversity. When you decide to make that leap to become a professional speaker, leap at the opportunity to speak in another country because it increases your value as a speaker. You were born to win as a speaker and you will win. Contact me today to discuss your professional speaking future. Have a good day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Coach Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. #144&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;1-800-476-8976&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com"&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com"&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Fax: 301-567-4954&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.

The event will take place at Karibu Books located at the Bowie Town Center and the facilitator is Sylvia Simmons.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I will be discussing how writers can live with passion, motivaiton, amd joy and get their book published. Why do I participate in events such as this?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Plain and simple, I want other people to tell their story. I wrote my book in 30 days and published it in five months. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When people ask me how did I do it so fast, I tell them I was inspired to write it by people that heard me speak. The universe was calling me to write a book and I didn't want to let the universe down, so I wrote it and answered the questions inquiring minds wanted to know.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What most people want to know is what keeps me motivated and the answer is the great big beautiful world we live in. I want you to live with passion, motivation and joy and publish your first book or your next.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Join me on April 14th, 5:00PM - 7:00PM at Karibu Books: 15624 Emerald Way, Bowie, MD 20716.

My objective is to empower the youth to think BIG. Many people have lost faith and confidence in our youth and that's very sad. If we don't encourage youth to excel, then what will our future look like. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I will talk with the students about what it takes to become a professional fee paid speaker and or a published author. On career day the students I speak to will have a clear picture of what it takes to become a professional speaker and or author. I can't wait to speak. I encourage you to take time out of your schedule to speak to youth in your community and to inspire them to be more, do more, and achieve more in life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coach Paul Lawrence Vann&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Laurel Wreath Communications Inc&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;938 Swan Creek Road E. #144&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fort Washington, MD 20744&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1-800-476-8976&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paullawrencevann.com"&gt;www.paullawrencevann.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livingonhigherground.com"&gt;www.livingonhigherground.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Paul Lawrence Vann is a Grant Raining Expert.
