It’s time to set your speaking goals for 2019. The profession is experiencing massive disruption, and the only speakers who will succeed in 2019 and beyond will be the smart and savvy. I would recommend that you focus on your numbers, starting with cash flow, and work backwards from there. I’m expecting to have our best year ever in 2019, but only because we have radically altered our business model to match the changes that have occurred in the past 12 months. I strongly recommend that you do the same. The speakers that adapt will be more successful than ever, while the stubborn ones who are clinging to the glory days of the past will suffer and be replaced. Watch this short video I taped in the studio at the Bona Allen Mansion and I’ll look forward to your comments.
