Really think what it can mean to you financially, socially, and in terms of increased influence and leadership.
Now this is every important take note the speed of your progress is directly dependent on your desire.

2. Prepare:

You definitely can't feel confident speaking in public unless you know what you are going to say. Don't just wait till the night before the presentation to begin your preparation, preparations can never be too early. It's better three months too early than a minute too late.

3. Act confident:

"To feel brave" advises professor William James, "act as if we were already brave",  use all your will and mind power and at once courage fit will automatically replace the fit of fear. Pretend to be brave and you will very likely become brave. You can conquer your fear of audiences by taking advantage of this tremendous psychological fact.

4. Practice:

Now this is often the most important point of all.
Fear is the result of a lack of confidence; and a lack of confidence is the result of not knowing what you can do; and that is caused by a lack of experience. So get a record of successful experience behind you and your fears will vanish into thin air.
