Even though I’m “north of the border”, I’m thinking about the United States and the concept of independence today.
My business is all about independence:
I love having independence with who I work with and how I set my schedule, and every day I help people become coaches and gain their independence from jobs that they don’t feel fulfilled by.
Starting a coaching business is one way to gain independence, and speaking is another way to do it …
A lot of the guests on my podcast have incorporated speaking into their businesses, and it’s been an important revenue stream for them.
When someone asks me a speaking question, I send them over to Corey Poirier. Corey’s been in the speaking game for 15 years, and is a multiple TEDx speaker, best-selling author, and a radio/podcast host who’s conducted over 4000 (no typo) interviews.
Corey packed all of his advice about building a speaking business into a series of videos, where he covers things like:
– Proven strategies to gather testimonials, get leads and build your email list all with one talk.
– The power of the “Spider Method” when creating personalized presentations.
– How to use the stage to spread your message and build ‘influencer’ status.
– Why now is the best time ever to speak from stage and grow your personal brand/business!
I’m going to have Corey on my podcast this summer, but you can get a head start and learn his speaking tricks by watching the videos here:
Happy 4th of July to my American friends – now go have some fun with your friends and family!
