5 Career and Motivational Tips

1) First thing to remember when you’re starting a professional speaking business is
fill your bank account instead of filling your ego. You need to have the mindset to
go after jobs that will put money in your pocket instead of focusing on fame and
stardom. Fame and stardom is inevitable in your motivational speaking career if
you do enough seminars and speaking engagements, believe me.

2) Teach people how to give you money. Conference planners and hosts don’t always
know what you want or need. Their whole goal is to put on an amazing conference
or seminar and I can guarantee you that they aren’t focused on putting money in
your pocket. For that very reason, teach people how to give you money. Pre-sell
your book and show the conference planner how they can give the book for free by
including the price of it in the registration fee. Learn to offer pre-sell merchandise
and back of the room merchandise. Never be afraid to go after the big money.

3) One idea can make all the difference. If you’re wondering how to make money with
motivational speaking, know that one idea is all you really need to get started. Do
different things to help you generate the ideas you need and then be prepared to
take action on them.

4) You should never stop learning. Learn multiple proven, contested formulas that
will attract unlimited and continuous wealth so that you can live stress free and live
exactly how you want to live each and every day. Instead of just working right, you
need to work smart. Learn to use strategies that work instead of trying to work with
get-rich-quick schemes that end up disastrously.

5) Market. Market. Market. If no one knows you, they can’t give you a motivational
speaking job. As simplistic as this concept sounds, I often find people who claim to
never advertise or dip into vain self-promotion. I don’t think self-promotion is
vain. In fact, I think not marketing yourself is the equivalent of shooting yourself
in the foot.

Applying these tips to your public speaking career will ensure your business reaches
the public speaking success you always wanted. So start using these tips today.
