The first time I was asked to talk in front of a group
of people I prepared well. The pages of my notes ran to
seven sheets of A4 paper even though my talk was only
for 5 minutes in front of a group of twelve people.
My notes were my security. I hardly even looked at them
during my talk, but I knew that if I needed to refer to
them they were there. I now speak publicly to groups of
500 or more and, although a lot less nervous about the
occasion, I still have copious notes in my hand but
hardly use them. This little book came out of producing
my doodled notes and it can help you with all sorts of
life issues in an easy to understand format

It seems that just about everyone
wants to be famous these days. Even if an individual has
no talent there are countless television programs that
will satisfy the apparent need to have their five
minutes of fame. There are many others who do have
talent and go on to have ten, twenty and even a few
hours worth of fame. And of course there are the very
few who have what it takes to make fame and celebrity
last a lifetime and beyond. But what preparation do
people have for what is going to happen to their life
when fame comes knocking? My experience is that they
have none. This book is not meant to be a serious
attempt to prepare or instruct anyone on how to handle
fame. Instead it looks at how some people cope with it
better than others. After all fame is not an exact
science. The point is that some
people handle celebrity with ease and others crumble at
the first sign of it. There are myriads of magazines and
publications highlighting the lives of individual
celebrities. The general public cannot get enough gossip
about their favourite idols. But there are few books
published about fame itself and the effects it can have
on the unprepared wannabe. Dealing With Fame
covers life before, during and after fame as well as
looking at specific challenges and how they can be
handled to avoid the downward spiral that leads many
celebrities to drink, drugs and depression.
