Scott Adams - - Fear

The creator of Dilbert on overcoming fear - -

Conquer Fear.  I took classes in public speaking in college and few more during my corporate days.  That training was marginally useful for learning how to mask nervousness in public.  Then I took the Dale Carnegie course.  It was life-changing.  The Dale Carnegie method ignores speaking technique entirely and trains you instead to enjoy the experience of speaking to a crowd.  Once you become relaxed in front of people, technique comes automatically.  Over the years, I've given speeches to hundreds of audiences and enjoyed every minute on stage.  But this isn't  a plug for Dale Carnegie.  The point is that people can be trained to replace fear and shyness with enthusiasm.  Every entrepreneur can use that skill.
