I don't remember the first time I got paid to speak but I do remember how much I undercharged. $200. $500. $50. I didn't take speaking seriously as a revenue stream which meant I didn't take the craft of speaking seriously and as a result, I didn't get paid much for it.
Speaking commands big money. That's because you're educating, inspiring and motivating crowds of people who have never heard your unique perspective. There's so many different opportunities out there from professional organizations to corporate speaking to cruises to nonprofit retreats to membership guesting. Thousands of these events happening every day.
If you're ready to take speaking seriously as part of your business, we have two sessions to help you do that.
