ENROLL IN COURSE

Whether you're trying to get your first speaking gig or book your 67th—this course will show you EXACTLY what to do . . .

Is This You?

Before I became a speaker, I can remember sitting in presentations or conference sessions, listening to the presenter, all the while thinking . . . I can do that!

Something about being on stage in front of a live audience being able to teach, encourage, motivate, and inspire them seemed extremely rewarding and fulfilling—also pretty cool!

Have you had this experience before? I thought so.

So finally I got tired of just being in the audience, and I was ready to get on stage.

But I had no clue where to begin . . .

Have You Ever Asked Any of These Questions?

Where do I even begin?!?
How do I find the right audience?
How do I prepare a memorable message that resonates?
How do I be compelling on stage that leaves people wanting more?
Where do I find gigs?
How do I get my first gig?
When (if ever) should I speak for free?
How do I negotiate speaking fees?
Who are the decision makers and how do I get in contact with them?
How do I sell myself as a speaker to decision makers?
How do I get noticed in a crowded industry?
How do I get booked, not just once, and how do I network with other successful speakers?

I know exactly how you feel.

See Real Numbers From a Real Speaker Who is Actually Making a Living From Speaking

I used to see other speakers and just know I could do that if someone would just show me how to get started.

But through a combination of trial and error, learning from other mentors, and just getting started, I've build a full time career as a speaker for the past 7 years. Just to put that in context, here are some numbers . . .

I don't throw out these numbers as a pat on the back, but to show you I've figured out how to get Booked and Paid to Speak.

If you want to find events that book speakers, learn how to connect with decision makers, actually start earning real money from speaking, and make a difference with your message, you have two choices:

Keep Dreaming

Keep wishing that somehow the speaking invites will magically start pouring in and somehow you'll just "fall into" becoming a speaker.

Follow a Proven Path

Why reinvent the wheel? Find a mentor who has created something you want and learn from them.

The Booked and Paid to Speak Course is Right for You If . . .

You market yourself as a speaker but you're FRUSTRATED because you're not getting the leads or bookings you want.

You want to speak a few times each year in you niche/industry but are OVERWHELMED and don't even know where to begin.

You're ready to get serious about your speaking career and want a SHORTCUT from someone who has been where you are.

You're STRESSED with all details and want to see behind the curtain of how a successful speaker runs a six-figure business.

Alright, Let's Address Some of The Elephants in the Room. I Know What You're Thinking . . .

When I decided I wanted to become a speaker, I was working during the day selling home security systems and at night was waiting tables at a fine dining restaurant. My wife just had our first daughter. We had bills piling up and family responsibilities calling to me.

How would I ever find the time to start speaking?

You can do this, but there’s no easy button. I can show you EXACTLY what to do and hold your hand every step of the way, but you still have to do it. Forget about the giant task of speaking at 50+ events each year and managing all of that. Let me start with just teaching you how to get your FIRST gig. Then we’ll worry about gigs 2 through 50 :)

Slow consistent progress is the key to achieving any massive goal. Make a commitment to work on it every day and you will see success much sooner than you think.

I did exactly what you’re trying to do, so we even include a specific lesson called “Transitioning From Your Current Job”.

We all hate that feeling of showing up somewhere and not really knowing anyone. Whether it be some networking event, social gathering or random family reunion with people you only see once every few decades, it’s not a pleasant experience.

As humans, we all naturally gravitate to things that feel safe and comfortable. You’ve seen the stats that public speaking is consistently listed as one of the biggest fears for people. So as much as you may like the idea of speaking, it’s totally natural to wonder if you can actually do it.

I get it.

The first time I was paid to speak ($1,000 to speak for 45 minutes), I found myself wondering, “Who am I to be up here talking to this audience? I’m no one special.”

Today I’ve become a pretty good speaker, but do you know how that happened? By actually getting on stage and speaking. Shocking I know right? :)

It’s not fair to compare your starting point as a speaker to someone who has been at it for years. Of course, they’re going to be better than you.

But you don’t have to be this refined, polished, world expert to get booked and paid to speak. You can start with your current base of knowledge, your experiences, stories, and journey and still make an excellent speaker.

I remember thinking I wanted to be a speaker, but even then, I wasn’t really clear what that meant! What do I talk about? Just whatever they tell me? Do I have to write a new talk every time? That sounds like a lot of work.

Am I supposed to be funny? But what if I’m not a comedian? I don’t have any personal tragic life story to share. I’ve actually had a pretty normal, fairly uneventful life…does that disqualify me from being an interesting speaker?

Here’s the good news . . . I’ll help you not only discover what you should speak about (based on your passion, experience, and story), but also how to find the right kind of clients that are looking for a speaker like you to share your message!
