Hi.
A system snafu sent you the wrong version of Zipline this morning. Here is the graphic version. Sorry for the mix-up.
Do you have enough passion in your life? We'll talk about passion this time in Zipline, and we'll explore how to use your voice to help display your passion and take command of an audience.
Also, I'd like to ask you to take
this survey to help us improve Zipline. We'll do a random drawing to give away 20 copies of my Million Dollar Toolbox book to survey participants. Thanks, in advance.
Let's get started.

An Ounce Of Passion
I believe an ounce of passion is worth a lifetime of technique. If you have no passion - either for a presentation or your job - you are wasting your time. Whether you call it passion, fire in the belly, energy or enthusiasm, that's what people remember, not your flawless data.
Consider this. As a young man I had a science teacher who knew his subject inside and out. Yet, he was so boring and colorless I just could not connect with the subject. Did he change my world? Yes, but not for the better. I had to take the class twice.
  "My experience at ESI was definitely life changing. I will never forget it."
Contrast that to Dr. Carl Sagan, who you may remember from the PBS series, Nova. His obvious passion for the subject of science set me afire to learn more about the mysteries of the universe. Both men had the same topic, but only one brought it to life for me and made me want to learn more. His passion made the difference.
Ty - you're probably asking - how can I get passionate about the same budget presentation I've given a hundred times, or for the job I've done for the past 10 years? If you can't get work up some passion for what you do eight to 10 hours every day, it's time for a change. If you are bored, you're boring.
Now, I know that you have to pay the bills, so you might not be able to give up the job today. You have two other choices: find your passion or feed your passion. What is it you love to do? Figure it out and do it, either as a hobby or through some volunteer activity. You'll find that the passion spills over into other areas of your life.
If you aren't ready to change your circumstances, either with a new job, hobby or volunteer work, then change your attitude. Tired of making the same sales pitch day after day. Change your approach. Let's say you sell cars. Instead of pushing cars, how about helping someone find the car that works for her circumstances and her budget?
Remember, the world's most powerful message delivered without energy, without passion, will fall unheard while the message delivered with passion can change the world. So, get some passion and start changing your world.

Give Voice To Your Passion A stunning voice is not necessary to make a stellar performance. Whatever your natural voice, you can learn to use it to your advantage. But you must learn to use it effectively.
Each of us can learn techniques - breath, projection, enunciation and vocal variety - that can turn any voice, even one perceived as weak or ineffective, into a valuable tool.
As we learn how to use our voices to best advantage, there are four key attributes which we can harness to express ourselves:
- Breath
- Projection
- Diction
- Vocal Variety
Our breathing habits affect our sound enormously. And many of us have never learned to breathe correctly. As children most of us were taught to take a deep breath by expanding our chest. Wrong, wrong, wrong. We breathe using our diaphragm.
