The Business of Successful Speaking: Proven Secrets to Becoming a Million Dollar Speaker
You have probably attended a meeting and seen a professional speaker give a great motivational speech. At the end of the speech, you join the rest of the audience and gave the speaker a standing ovation. During the rest of the day, you were motivated. You could hardly wait to get back to work and put a few of your new ideas to work.Of course, at the end of the day, you are sitting back and thinking, "that didn't seem that hard. He came in and told some stories. Some stories were sad, but there was always a great ending to the stories. He was also very funny and a lot of fun to hear."
Then, another thought strikes your brain, "I could do that. I know I could be as good as him. Everyone who has heard me speak thought I was great. When I was emcee at my nephew's wedding, they thought I was hilarious. Of course, there's all the sales presentations I've given. I was always a hit. I have what it takes!"
Andrea Gold, co-author and owner of a speakers bureau that has booked thousands of speakers for tens of millions of dollars has seen so many wonderful speakers fail. They did not fail because their speeches were not good. They failed because they were not able to master the business side of speaking.
Co-author, Gary Yamamoto, shares his 30+ years as a professional speaker. He discusses what could go wrong and how the reader can avoid these problems. He also share stories of other professional speakers and the wisdom they gained from their years on the road.
