Business loan or Small Business Loan is very flexible. It allows us to get cash for our capital and we can adjust the amount based on our need. Just like its name, Small Business Loans are especially made for us who want to build small business, so the amount of money is smaller than business loans or Personal Loans and the payment is more flexible because it is adjusted with the unstable financial condition usually occur in small business.

With the Business Loans, we can get the complete ownership of our company, so we don’t have to share our rebate with lenders or investors and we automatically become an independent entrepreneur. Business Loans are allowing us to choose our up front payment and flexible payment, so we don’t have to worry about a high burdening payment. One of the best benefit of using Business Loan is the payment is tax deductible.

There was a time, way back in the murky past, when understanding English Grammar was considered to be one of the fundamentals taught at schools in the English speaking world. For some reason, this has changed over the past few decades and a more holistic approach to literacy instruction has been advocated. However, even highly intelligent students now seem to struggle when it comes to the conventions of writing in English. Clearly, there are some things that just don’t automatically happen via exposure to language and texts. There are still some basic elements of language learning, including those pesky Grammar rules, which must be actively taught.

In fact, it is somewhat misleading to refer to English Grammar rules as ‘rules’. They are not rules in the same way that we have rules of cricket, for instance. If we wanted to know about the rules of cricket, we would simply consult the official Cricket Rule Book. However, we cannot do something similar if we want to know about English Grammar rules. There is no official English Grammar Guide that contains all the laws of the language. These rules are not so much ‘rules’ as they are ‘conventions’, agreed upon quite informally over time by the majority of those who use the language.

So if they are not really rules at all, then why do we need to follow them? It is not mandatory to follow conventions. People are allowed to differ from the norm. The supposed English Grammar rules are not laws! I will not go to jail if I tell the police, ‘I seen the man what robbed the place!’ I will not have to face an officious magistrate if I am overheard telling a friend, ‘There ain’t nothing I can do about it.’ And, assuming I was not supposed to be at work all weekend, I will not be fired if I tell a co-worker, ‘Me and Billy was just down at the pub on the weekend, wasn’t we Billy?’

The police officer, my friend and my co-worker would all understand me. They would get the message I intended to convey. Does this mean that understanding English Grammar is unnecessary? This would be the case if it were only the meaning of our communications that were important. However, this is clearly not the case. Successful communication between two people involves not only the sender of the message, but also the receiver of the message. And the perception formed by the receiver of the message can be vitally important. This perception will be influenced by the manner in which the message is sent. If the conventions of Grammar are followed, the message may well be received more favourably since both the sender and receiver of the message are using the same system for communicating.

Consider the case when the communication is not made verbally, but in writing. Writing is a far more formal medium. The expectation that goes along with this is that English Grammar rules will be followed more closely in writing than in speaking. There is no doubt that if my written statement, ‘I seen the man what robbed the place!’ was distributed to a jury, then my credibility would be somewhat reduced.

The way language is used does matter. English Grammar rules may not be rules per se, but we are still bound by them. The effective communication of our intended meaning and the perception of our message by those that receive it depend upon communicators ‘playing’ by the rules. There are times that our communications need to appear professional and credible. This is why understanding English Grammar should be reinstated as a fundamental focus of our study of language at school.

Essentially, when you are looking at show, don’t tell, you are looking at a way of conveying mood and how your story is going. For example, what if you are writing a frightening Halloween story. When the monster shows up, you would not simply say that it was scary, and leave it at that! What is the monster doing that makes it scary? Is it large and hairy and does it have long teeth? Is it growling at the characters and frightening them, or is it simply sitting there, waiting to see what they are going to do next? Remember that this is what your audience is relying on, for you to describe to them.

When you are writing children’s books, you know that you need to draw a vivid mental picture for your audience to follow. An audience needs something to latch on to, and unless you do this, you will find that you are not hooking their attention nearly as strongly as you can. Moreover, when you tell your story instead of showing it to the audience, you are committing an example of lazy writing. It is far easier to tell a story in this fashion than it is to show it, and when you learn to write, this is not a habit that you want to get into!

Think about the fact that children’s books are all about single images, fast movement and interesting scenarios. Children do have a shorter attention span than adults, and if you simply tell them a story, you are going to find that you are going to be losing them as an audience much faster than you think you would. Take some time and think about how you are going to be able to hold their attention and what your options are going to be when it comes to letting them experience your story. What are the sensory details that are going to help them out?

If you want to learn to write for children, remember that being a good writer is important. Take some time and consider how you are going to be able to let them really experience the story and remember that showing and not telling is something that you need to have at the forefront of your mind. If you want to write for children, make sure that you are creating a story that they can feel and really experience!

And Mrs. Merchant, the 4th grade teacher that I remember so fondly? I can say with certainty that I’ve never mused to myself: “Gosh, I loved the way she folded culture into that unit on South American geography. And her grasp of pre-algebra? Outstanding!”

No, my memories prompt me to think: “That woman changed my life – because she believed in me and showed me what I was capable of.”

In both these situations, my emotional response was what mattered.

It’s the same with the audiences for your speeches and presentations.

Human beings make important decisions because those choices feel right for them. They will justify their decisions with data and logic. But it’s EMOTION that turns people on, and drives the choices in their lives.

Persuasion begins with trust, not with information. Every time you talk to a customer, prospect, colleague, or stakeholder, an unvoiced understanding takes place: you (the speaker) are seeking to influence your listeners. You’re trying to change them in some way–positively and ethically, we hope. Change isn’t easy for anyone. It only occurs when the person to be changed trusts that you are worth listening to and believing in.

As speaker, you are modeling the way: “Hear me and see me,” you are saying. “You can see I am trustworthy, and therefore what I have to say is valuable.”

By speaking in the realm of emotion, you open the door for positive influence. It isn’t influence that computes right–for our brains are not machines that subsist on logic–it is change that feels right.

Author and playwright George Ade, Mark Twain’s contemporary, said it this way:

“In uplifting, get underneath.”

He didn’t mean crawl down into the bogs of raw data, or dig into foundations long since excavated. He meant get into the things that matter. As a speaker or presenter, that means reaching across the real space of your speaking venue to touch people’s hearts.

You do it with the story you tell, and the way you tell it, of course. Inexperienced speakers buckle the load of information they have to convey onto their backs, and then dump it into the laps of their listeners. To an audience, that feels heavy and unwieldy, and it’s not something they want to take home with them.

Instead, your story–the one you’re telling to change people’s lives–must begin and end with people, and the things that move people deep inside. It’s only to support that narrative that you bring in your information–your content. This is so whether you’re talking about return on investment, your nonprofit’s mission, or the marketing tools your company specializes in. All the information you convey is important; but you must convey it in terms of the satisfaction and benefits to be gained. The more you can link those benefits to an emotional response in your listeners, the stronger your content will appear.

How does this knowledge impact the practical necessity of developing a successful message? It’s a reminder that we have to get the order right: Know your audience and what matters to them. Then tell them your story in human terms, relying on emotion, and using your content to help you make your case.

You’ll feel good about that way of proceeding. And by the time you’re finished, your listeners will not only be moved, they’ll be persuaded.

It is ideal, of course, to video yourself practicing your presentation. But we do not always have access to that equipment when we need to practice.

Find a mirror, and give your presentation. You are your audience.

Your stance and gestures should enhance your message. You want the audience to see that you are confident, friendly and comfortable.

* Are your shoulders relaxed?
* Arms at your sides or slightly in front of you?
* Gestures natural?
* Facial expressions natural?

Eye contact engages people. When you make eye contact with an audience member for a moment while you are speaking, you are including that person in your presentation.

* Are you looking at your audience?

You want your audience to hear every word and feel your enthusiasm.

* Are you speaking at a moderate pace?
* Are you saying your words clearly?
* Are you using natural inflections in the pitch of your voice?

You want your audience to understand what they are hearing.

* Are you using jargon-free language?
* Are you avoiding acronyms and initials?

People get distracted by “um”, “uh”, incorrect grammar, slang expressions, overused phrases. You want your audience to focus on your message, not your mannerisms.

* Is your speech free from distractions?

When your “audience” – you – can answer yes to all of these questions, you only have to remember when you are in front of your real audience. You know you can deliver a great presentation, because you’ve already seen and heard yourself do it!

The key to understanding writer’s block is this: like a strait jacket, the more you struggle against it, the worse it gets. If you sit at your desk and think, “Okay. I’m going to get creative here. I’ve got to break through this”, your mind seizes up, goes blank, wanders off to the mall, refuses to answer your phone calls.

So here’s the secret. Get into the creative flow in some other area of your life. Do something else that inspires you. Your writing will soon begin to flow too.

What are some creative flow activities? Here are my latest:

Knitting. With a repetitive, meditative handiwork, my mind wanders into a glorious daydream. Very often when I knit, I feel like a kid again, imagining things. I have no objectives, no plan, no strategy. I simply let go, and my mind steps into the field of deep imagination. It’s amazing.

Exercise. Moving my body is the quickest and easiest way to release stress and open myself to new possiblity. I run in a gym, I walk outside, I stretch at night while watching television. But however I choose to exercise, I feel that when I get my body moving in a new way, my mind opens in a new way.

Cooking. Cooking, in my opinion, is too often delegated to the annoying household task category. But cooking, when approached with a bit of adventure opens me to greater creative flow. Know why? It uses every one of my senses. Think about it. Smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound-all aspects of your sensory experience-are enlivened and enriched by cooking.

Whether you choose to do these particular activities or embark upon your own, no matter. Follow whatever inspires you. You’ll find that when you do, you will break through any writer’s block in a hurry. Positive changes in your life affect all aspects of your life in a positive way. And when you are in your creative flow, your writing-and your readers-will thank you.

First of all, recognize your audience. Thus, you should know your role as the speaker. Is your role to entertain the audience, teach a training, or other? By acknowledging your role, you can know what you should talk and what you should not talk easily.

Secondly, list the main points of your public speaking. This step will strengthen your idea and thought, help you deliver your message appropriately, and avoid you from speechless.

Thirdly, afford not to look nervous. It is because the audiences can see your anxiety. Even, the popular and experienced presenters might be nervous when they start to open their speech. In this case, the way they calm down is different one another. The aspect that makes a difference is their experience, so they can find the best way to handle the problem.

One of the ways that is often done to handle anxiety problem is by regulating breath. Another way is by talking to other people. Do not worry too much and do not be afraid of misspeaking or doing the stupid things. Just relax because most people will excuse you. So, try to consider the audiences as your close friends that will accept you what looked like.

Fourthly, make a relationship with audiences. It is known that it is important for audiences to keep on being interested in your speech. Thus, you can put the sense of humor into your speech and use statistic as minimal as possible if you have to use it.

Visual presentation also can help the audiences to focus more. Also, pay attention to your intonation and body movement. Avoid the repeated movement in a long time and flat intonation that can stimulate people to be sleepy.

Fifthly, be yourself. Indeed, using hand movement and gesture might be done occasionally to avoid the boredom. But, do not do that too much. Give priority in your speech point and move your body naturally, so the audiences will be comfortable looking at you.
