Yes, I take you through the whole process of ensuring you have the right “entry topic” to get people interested in you as an expert in your area. Many people make the mistake of trying to cram all their expertise into one speech. It's better to go deep in one specific way.

This will ensure you can help people, prove your credibility, and help build the “like know and trust” factor vital to building your business. Then your presentation efforts are more likely to turn into long-term income and opportunities.

We choose that entry topic by researching the marketing to see what audiences and online listeners are hungry for, and where to find them. Together we create a strategy for making those bookings and turning that into income.

Of course, in fact it’s even more potent these days with streaming video, webinars, podcasting and more. You can reach people all over the world from the comfort of your own home. There are 2 ways to do it.

a) You can produce your own event

b) Be a guest on someone else's online event (like a podcast, youtube live stream, webinar or telesummit).

Again, I help you create an entry topic, and how to find listeners who are hungry for that topic. Then I help you create and implement a strategy for drawing in your listeners for these online events.

Yes, that’s a big part of what we do. I help you analyze the speaking opportunity to find out:

1) If it a good use of your time

2) If so, what's the best thing to promote, and

3) How to promote it.

Together we create a non-salesy presentation that makes people want to work with you. It’s designed to make ideal clients come up to you after the presentation and want to work with you or buy from you. It also allows you to get many people on your email list, if they aren't ready in the moment to buy, but may become clients down the line.

I make recommendations on the best marketing strategy based on the goals you say you want to reach, and given your best learning style, your best marketing style, and what you think you'll be able to keep up with on a regular basis.

It's important to create a system to get continuous clients and income, so keeping it simple, something you love to do, and something that you can become very good at over the years is very important. Most people try to do too many different types of marketing, and at a basic level of proficiency, and then wonder why they don't enjoy it and don’t get good results.

Once we find what most works for you, we reverse engineer the process. Then, in some cases I can recommend good people to do the work for you, who are reasonably priced and yet do good quality work.

What I offer is a "done-with-you" service in the sense that I work with you to come up with a plan, keep you accountable to doing the necessary steps, troubleshoot with you if you get stuck, and help you course correct as we go, and find you excellent helpers where needed. In other words it's not a "done-for-you" service.

Yes, if your topic fits in with what people tend to pay for. If I hear of events that would be a good fit for you and your topic, I pass along the information about how to propose to speak. Together we might design and rehearse your pitch to event planners.

I also show you how to find those ideal kinds of speaking engagements yourself. You also get access to an online training for you [or for your assistant] on how to find, approach and negotiate with meeting planners. All that said, I'm not a speaker agency, so I don’t broker speaking opportunities on your behalf.

If your topic isn’t likely to generate a paid speaking opportunity, I help you go after platform speaking opportunities. Of the 1000’s of speaking opportunities around the world each day only 10% paid, whereas 90% are platform.

That means they don’t pay, but you are usually allowed to make an offer to the audience, unlike when you’re paid. Many people who do platform speaking make far more money than paid speakers, depending on the type of offer they are making.

Because many of our clients are from all over the world, we don’t have a team that goes out to film a live speaking event. Also, because many people prefer to do their own video editing these days, we don’t do the editing for them.

That said, I do recommend a template for what kind of footage to get, what to say first in the video, what to include next, how to end it, who you can hire to help, if needed. I help you plan out the process and break it down easy steps keeping you accountable to getting it done.

That said, we do a video interview with you where I pull out all the most important information that I know meeting planners and ideal clients would want to know. That footage can be added to your About page, and to your speaker video reel.

Yes, that's a big part of the series. After four years of helping people with just the strategy part of building their business as an expert, I noticed people were not implementing enough. They didn't know how to get over procrastination, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, asking for money, getting past fears of failure and success, and all those "inner game" issues.

Yes, with many clients we work on a speech, book and online content at the same time – multi-purposing it. That’s the quickest, easiest way to go about it. Together we find or hone a model that is unique to you. Then, I help you figure out how present it in various formats. That way you differentiate yourself from your competitors. This highlights your greatest “super power” as a an expert in your field.

The program can be expanded or contracted depending on your schedule and how much time you can devote to this. Some of my clients with full time jobs want to meet once a month, that way between sessions they have enough time to complete the little tasks we come up with.  Some of my clients meet with me every one or two weeks for 6 months. Some have a huge event or deadline coming up and want to meet for a few hours a day over a few condensed days. In between times, we are both working on things as well.

The investment varies depending on the needs of each person. I endeavor to work within your budget and needs. It's not overly expensive, but there is a financial commitment that is important for a good exchange of value and to help motivate you through the obstacles. Payment plans available upon request. Refunds are available after the first session if it doesn't feel like a good fit.

No, I cannot guarantee any particular results. Because people come from many different backgrounds and offer diverse products and services, I cannot guarantee you will be able to find a match for your products or services.

Like any business, success depends on a number of factors beyond my control such as your focus and effort, the quality of your product or service, and demands for your particular product or service, etc.

To be successful you must actively participate in our offerings, be willing to apply feedback for improvement, and be able to evolve personally and professionally through the process.

That said, I seek to create the best possible incubator designed just for you, your learning style, and your life circumstances, so that you can launch to the next level as quickly and easily as possible.

If you haven't already done so, fill out this APPLICATION FORM. Then, if I think we have a good fit, we get on the phone, Zoom, or Skype to chat where you can ask questions.

Then if we both feel like it’s the right next step, then I send you an Agreement Letter, Link to Register, and a Needs Assessment. Then we set up our first time to meet.
