Speakers Opportunity of a Lifetime

steve — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 16:26:23 +0000

It’s every speakers dream to deliver speeches in sold-out auditoriums packed with thousands of people chanting their name. It was my dream back in 1996, and it came true. But the truth is it only happened because I got my big break from Bill Gove, not to mention mentoring from platform legends like Larry Wilson, Bob Proctor, Bill Brooks, Nido Qubein, Dave Yoho, Sr. and others. Most speakers spend years struggling along attempting to eek out a living in this business. 90% of professional speakers earn less than 75K per year, and only 1% ever hit 7-figures. I’m excited to say that in less than 6o days, these statistics will begin to change. On April 1, 2011, we’re going to launch a world-class speaker marketing system the likes of which this industry has never seen. It’s NOT a CD album or seminar, but an opportunity to build an army of people who have the power to catapult you to the financial forefront of this business. Even if you’re a brand new speaker who doesn’t even have a topic, you will have the opportunity to build a full-time speaker/speaker marketing business and earn a substantial income…in the next 12 months! Watch this video for more details and join us on a conference call February 15 at 3pm ET or 9pm ET to learn more about this once in a lifetime opportunity. If you truly believe it’s your destiny to to move people with your message and be known around the world as a thought leader in your field, this is your chance. This is a time sensitive opportunity, so if you’re interested, act now. You’ll understand why after you watch this video. After you watch this 4-minute post, email dawn@govesiebold.com to reserve your place on the February 15 conference call, either at 3pm ET or 9pm ET. You MUST specify which call you want to attend, because we only have space for 99 speakers per call. This call is only for the subscribers of this blog. Reserve your place today, because they’re are 7,759 subscribers! This is the most exciting concept I’ve ever seen in the speaking industry, and it may be the thing that launches your career, bolsters your finances and changes your life. Wouldn’t that be awesome? Think of how many people you can motivate and inspire with your message. The world needs to hear your wisdom. Your audiences are eagerly awaiting your arrival in this business. If you’re already in the business, this is your chance to catapult your career into the stratosphere…to the top…where you belong. I’ll look forward to your comments. Steve Siebold ( 4:15 )

Can You Make it As a Professional Speaker in 2011?

steve — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 04:41:20 +0000

We are living in unprecedented times. The economy is in turmoil. Corporate America is sitting on two trillion dollars in cash, ( 7.4 % of their total assets, the largest percentage since 1959) unsure of what to invest in or how to move forward without going broke. I’ve traveled around the world this year, reaching more than 50 million people in the media, and the feedback I’ve gotten from Miami to Sydney is the same: people are scared. They don’t know what the future holds or how to proceed. They’re afraid their kids won’t have as much opportunity as they have had. They need the kind of world-class motivation, inspiration and business expertise only professional speakers can provide. The world has never needed us as much as they do in 2011. Meanwhile, with corporations and associations cutting back on hiring professional speakers, many speakers who have been in the business for 10, 15, and even 20 years are going back to the job market and giving up on their speaking careers. If you think this is a bad thing, think again. This is the greatest opportunity that new and emerging speakers will ever have to break into this business. If you’ve been dreaming about becoming a professional speaker or moving to the next level as a speaker, this is your BIG chance. I speak (no pun intended) from experience. My big break came in the last major crisis in the speaking industry, which occurred after 9/11, when companies froze travel and canceled their conventions. Hundreds of speakers left the business, which was the break I needed to move in. You can do the same in 2011. Watch this video I shot on 7-mile beach in Jamaica, and I think you’ll understand.

Speaker’s Contrast Creates Excitement

steve — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 11:33:41 +0000

Bill Gove used to tell me over and over: “Always remember, kid: contrast creates excitement.” I’ve never heard any other professional speaker say this. Details like this is what made Bill Gove the master of the keynote speech. Watch this short video and I’ll look forward to your comments. Steve Siebold (2:25 )

Motivational Speakers Needed

steve — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 08:59:05 +0000

If you’ve ever considered becoming a motivational speaker or at least adding a motivational component to your topic, NOW is the time! For two years the recession has been sucking the life out of people, and they’re ready to look forward to the future again. While the motivational market is a little rough right now, this is the time for new speakers to emerge and stake their claim. A lot of speakers have given up and gone back to their old jobs. If you’re trying to break into the business, this could be the best chance you’ll ever have. Watch this short post I filmed yesterday outside London, England, where I’m speaking at the Bill Gove Speech Workshop and doing radio/TV interviews. This economic downturn could be the best thing that ever happened to your career. I’ll look forward to your comments. Steve Siebold ( 2:53 )

How To Flood Your Calendar with Speaking Engagements

steve — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:17:31 +0000

This is the marketing system I used to build a seven-figure speaking business during the 9/11 attacks. Imagine generating over 300 leads for speeches, training, coaching and consulting dates after delivering one 10-minute speech to a group of referral agents. On October 15-17, 2010 we’re going to host the last meeting of the year of the Siebold Success Network. The deadline to speak at this event is this Sunday, August 15 at midnight.

Do You Think Like a Million-Dollar Speaker?

steve — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 22:12:08 +0000

I just spent 2-days with 20 of the wealthiest professional speakers in the world. The meeting was held at the National Speakers Association Convention in Orlando. NSA has created a new, invitation-only group called the Million-Dollar Round Table. Each applicant had to submit financial statements to prove they had billed over a million dollars in speaking revenue in 2009. Only 21 speakers qualified, and I was honored to be one of them. All of us spoke during the 2-days, and it was amazing to hear the ideas from all of these brilliant speakers. The entire meeting I kept thinking to myself that I’d never be sitting here without the knowledge I acquired from interviewing wealthy people for the last 26-years. They taught me how to think like a millionaire, and it changed my business and my life. I had to leave the meeting early to begin the media tour for my new book, How Rich People Think. Yesterday I was interviewed on FOX and NBC. Today I’m on CBS in Chicago. This tour will continue through December and go from here to Europe and Australia. The ONLY way I could have done this is from what I learned from the wealthy. Most professional public speakers DON’T THINK like MILLIONAIRES, and that’s why so few of them are wealthy. If you’re goal is to become a million-dollar speaker, please read How Rich People Think. This book may shock you a little, but I promise you it will make you think about money in a whole different way than any book you’ve ever read on the subject. Check it out at http://www.howrichpeoplethinkbook.com You can even download 5 Chapters for FREE as a test-drive. Watch this short video post for a few major tips from the book.
