$1M Loss in Speaking

Over the past 5 years, the professional speaking industry has experienced major disruption. The 7-figure passive sales of audio/video albums that many of us earned has been relegated to the dust bin of history. Like in the music industry, YouTube and other FREE channels give away the content that made some of us millionaires. The...

Getting Booked/Speaker’s Bureaus

Speaker’s Mentoring Program

There are thousands of professional speakers, yet very few of them earn much money. The average full-time speaker earns less than $100,000 per year, in a business where that’s often a days pay. I was lucky to have three of the best mentors in the business: Bill Gove, Bob Proctor and Larry Wilson. Whatever success...

Last week I kicked off a 9-month mass media tour for...

Your Legacy as a Speaker

One of the buzzwords of the speaking business in the past few years is “legacy,” as in, what will be your legacy as a speaker? When I first heard this I didn’t really know, but then I finally figured it out. Watch this short video (5 minutes) I taped on the steps of the Bona...

Speaker’s #1 Demo Video Mistake

Since word got out a few months ago about the launch of Georgia Speaker’s Bureau, we’ve been bombarded with unsolicited demo videos from speakers. We’ve watched as many as we can, but most of the speakers make the same grave error in their video production that leads us to turn it off and exclude them...
