The Art of Public Speaking Marketing & Humour 2nd Edition
by Marton F. Murphy (Author)
This book contains all you need to know about sales, marketing, public speaking, and what you need to say to close a successful deal. Marton Murphy started his working life with just a few hundred dollars to his name. Even though he did not have much formal education, had a speech impediment, and felt unable to speak in public, he acquired and made good use of the skills outlined in this book to overcome any and all obstacles that might otherwise have prevented him from being successful in life. Over the years, these same skills enabled Marton to become a multi-millionaire, a journey that is shared in his first book, Misfortune to Multi-Millionaire, published in 2012. Marton Murphy began his working life a chore boy, potato picker, and blacksmith’s helper on Prince Edward Island. He left PEI when he was 18 years old to hitchhike to Alberta, but wound up walking a large part of the way. In Alberta, Marton worked as a roughneck, welder, mechanic, and catskinner in both the oilfield and construction businesses. At various times, he also worked as a cowboy and taxi driver. For a period of ten years he was employed by a large international company and subsequently started his first business enterprises-in the oilfield during the winters and in construction during the summers. He achieved all of this while serving in a voluntary capacity in his community, his church, and with charitable and political groups across Canada. Over the course of a working lifetime-of more than five decades-Marton Murphy has successfully climbed to the top of the corporate ladder. During his ascent, he has expanded his business interests and empire from activities in the oilfield and construction industry, into land, cattle, engineering, contracting, manufacturing, distribution, transportation, and travel. He is an entrepreneur, inventor, environmentalist, philanthropist, political activist, adventurer, sportsman, builder, traveller, and author.
