How to Triple Your income in 12 Months

25 years ago I went from earning $40,000 per year to $182,000 in 12 months, all from a single skill I learned, practiced and implemented.

Professional speakers can earn high incomes. The top non-celebrity speakers earn millions per year.

Speakers Should Be an Inch Wide and a Mile Deep

As much as I love my motivational speaker friends, most are experts at delivering an incredible speech, with little problem-solving content. Their expertise lies in exciting an audience for 45-minutes and moving on to the next speech.
