How do you avoid fatigue when speaking?
To me there are two parts to speaking 1: Preparing the content 2: Delivering the content There was a time in my career ( and still to a degree now) where I wanted to always deliver new/unique/ never before seen content. That content took longer to prepare for, and took more energy to deliver. -“What slide is next?” , - “Will this connect with the audience?” -“Am I delivering this the way I want?” When I focused on valuable content that I could very easily customize but was 95% in my core it took less energy to deliver and created a less frantic experience on my side of things as a speaker/ presenter.

This book is for new and aspiring business owners, freelancers and contractors that are charting their own path to success, and want to get there with the least amount of challenges.
This book is created in such a way that each chapter can be read in about 5 minutes, and the content gets straight to the point with no fluff. The book is broken down into three sections: You as a business owner, your business, and the world around you. Learn how to make all three work together and you'll be more successful.
"As someone who has held leadership roles in both new and established companies, I found I Wish I Knew a helpful guide to the rough road of entrepreneurship. Anthony's book is concise but full of useful information. There is no magic formula in any business book, but I Wish I Knew gives invaluable insight (from someone who has been there multiple times) to anyone looking to start their own business."
"Overall, I liked the length of the chapters and felt Anthony got right to the point. I feel like this is one of those books where I read the whole way through, but can also keep it on my bookshelf as a reference whenever I need it. I also think there's a bunch of material in the book that is transferable to various small and large projects I'm currently working on. So I think an entrepreneur in any industry can take something away from the book.
