| Monday, September 24, 2018 MarketVolt’s Monday Mash-UpRecommended Resource How to Be a Better Speaker I’ve learned so much from Fred Miller about public speaking and marketing. If you ever speak in front of a crowd, check out No Sweat Public Speaking, Fred’s website. He’s a public speaking expert who will help you develop, practice and deliver great presentations while overcoming fear. How Much Should You Spend? How Much Should You Charge? If you run a business, manage a budget or make purchasing decisions for marketing and communications, you’ve probably asked: What should I charge for my services? What should I pay for the services I need? We dove into those questions and offered some answers in a recent post on our blog. This will help you set the right price for your products or services and evaluate that purchase you’re considering. Must-See TV St. Louis Teen Wows Judges on “The Voice” When someone told me about a 13-year-old kid killing it in her audition on The Voice, I was skeptical. Then I watched this. It was so good, and so emotional, that I cried. Kennedy Holmes lives and goes to school not far from MarketVolt’s headquarters in St. Louis. I’m proud for our city. But I’m not sharing this with you because I’m a “homer.” I’m sharing this with you because it’s awesome! I’m Reading About… Chief Justice John Marshall John Marshall was born on this day in 1755. He died in 1835 after serving 34 years as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. That is the longest tenure for any Chief Justice. In his years on the court, he redefined the role of the judiciary, shifting power from state and local courts to federal courts. He established the principle of “judicial review,” empowering federal courts to review laws and overturn them if deemed unconstitutional. Love him or hate him (there are people in both camps), Marshall was among the more important figures in shaping our nation after the Revolution. We the People… “The people made the Constitution, and the people can unmake it. It is the creature of their will, and lives only by their will.”~ John Marshall*** Any reading, listening, quoting, resourcing that you think we should share? Send us a tip. Until next time, enjoy the rest of this week and the weekend. |
