Which song would you choose?

Writing Comedy to Make People Laugh their Heads Off
By: Brian Scott
Just how funny are you? There are plenty of people out there who think they are funny, but they suck. Then there are people who really are funny - apart from their work as a comedian. They are constantly joking around and playing gags on others. Laughing and making others laugh is their normal, everyday life.
There are also people who are really funny onstage, but in their private lives they don't crack jokes and raise laughs every minute. In fact, they may be serious people - some are even shy, quiet people you would never dream of being comedians. Others are funny all the time, whether they are on the stage or off it. They realized that they had an innate ability to crack people up and they love doing it. Still others are really funny people, but they are not comedians and don't aspire to be on the stage at all.
But all successful comedians have one thing in common. On the stage, they can make people laugh. Some only have to walk onto the stage and people start to laugh before they even speak. So do you have what it takes?
Many comedians start out writing their own material, but if they just can't see the funny side of things this may not be a good idea. A comedian might be able to present material in a way that makes people laugh, but if the material he or she presents is not all that funny, then success will be elusive - or non-existent. Many successful comedians depend on good writers for their material.
So if you really want to be a comedian, yet people don't seem to be impressed, it may be that the material is not right for you, or perhaps it is not even all that funny. In this case you would be well advised to use material that someone else writes for you. If you 'steal' another comedian's material, you could get into trouble.
The best reason for being a comedian is because you love doing it. If you get into the business to make money or become famous, you're likely to be seriously disappointed. Those things may come to you if you are good - and persevere, but don't count on it. If you are fulfilling an ambition and doing what you love to do, then it won't matter if they don't come, you'll still be happy.

Real Estate Investing Seminar - Wealth From Property
Hi
Property Investing can really suck the life out of you, and the money out of your bank account, especially if you are inexperienced, or investing in a new area or new strategy.
Horror stories abound – people who start off thinking they are going to create a nest egg and all they end up with is a total disaster that takes years to recover from and takes a toll on their health and family life.
Wouldn’t it make sense to find someone who's already cracked the code and can give you the inside track on the secret to making money in property BEFORE you get started or make your next investment? Wouldn’t you rather suck all that profit-making info out of the experts than have a bad property investment suck the life out of you?
It could be the difference between cracking open a bottle of champagne to celebrate the profits on your latest property or cracking up under the pressure of a poorly planned and ill-advised investment.
Here’s some living proof from people who got the edge by finding their own property mentor…
Phil Wilde –built a £750,000 property portfolio in just 12 months, whilst working a full-time job! Plus, he generated an extra £30,000 in income on top of his wage.
Shantelle Golding – traded 17 properties in just one year and made £100,000 – all as a stay at home Mum (and guess what, the money she made enabled her husband to quit his job and start investing with her full time!)
James Collin – within 12 months he is living in the £500,000 home of his dreams and he owns 7 investment properties generating him an income of over £2200 a month!
Ever heard the saying “It’s easy once you know how!” … that’s particularly true when working with a property mentor… each of the people mentioned above has dramatically changed their financial position in just one year. They’re earning more, working less and building an asset for their future.
Where will you be in 12 months time?
If you’d like to find out their secrets and potentially revolutionise your finances through property, I have FREE tickets for you to attend Wealth From Property on November 20 in London.
Five of the UK’s best property mentors will be there to share their property investing secrets with the lucky few who claim their tickets. These are the same mentors who’ve helped the people mentioned above (and hundreds of other happy property investors - you could be next!).

Here’s to your success,
Ken Wood
