@Ann Pells was just spotted on the TEDx stage! Congratulations! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye2YtE89G9k What are your wins this week?

And I want to tell you step by step how I did it. This was NOT overnight. 1. Accept the Invitation. This started 10 years ago, when I went to a party at my brother's house and I met the speaker. 2. Make the ask. I then asked for the speakers number, and had a phone call with them 3. Become a Student. I went to every seminar that speaker put on, and every digital event. I worked for free for YEARS. I spoke for free for YEARS, practicing my keynote, body language, CTA and delivery. 4. Honor the Introduction. An introduction to the right person is the key to your growth, so treat it like the gold that it is. 5. Keep delivering value. I kept posting on social, as if I had already been booked. Today when I got on the call, the person on the other end said "I've been watching what you're up to and I'm excited to create this with you" 6. And above all, have integrity. If you want to get booked, you have to have a reputation of doing what you said you would do. ****The hardest part of this whole process for a lot of us, is #5. Showing up as if you've been asked, before you get asked. So do today what you would do the day after your dream gig.

We were on the floor Saturday at the Limitless Arena and got to see some incredible speakers, including our own Tiffanie Janowitz on stage. Meeting you in person at our LIVE podcast recording was by far the best part. What is one thing you're proud of and one thing you're working on the rest of the week?

1. Repost your episode. Find the episode on the podcast you guested on, and re-share it on social media. DON'T FORGET to leave a review on the listening platform - it'll boost your episode and the host will love it. 2. Blog about your episode. If you can, pull the transcript, then put it into chatty and tell it to make a blog post about it. Edit if of course, but then get it posted (you can use Go High Level to post it to your blog!) 3. Make short form. Download the show, cut it up, and post it. REMEMBER TO TAG THE HOST!! Whatever you do, keep picking up the mic. You never know who you are inspiring.

When you get paid to speak, it's either through a speaker fee, or through your CTA. (Your personal CTA is way more profitable btw) So what makes a speech worth paying for? Let's break it down: 1> Taking a speaker fee. When you get paid a speaker fee, it's because the event gets something out of you being there. You might be a headliner that draws a crowd. You might be the best at the CTA (call to action) You might have revolutionary material that WOW's the audience. 2> Your Personal CTA When your keynote includes a CTA into your programs, this is where the real "get paid to speak" money is, especially in the beginning. There are of course right ways to do this, and wrong ways. But I'll tell you this - being paid for a speech will require you to have a speech worth paying for. A speech worth paying for has been honed in, practiced and delivered ALREADY before you get paid to deliver it, no matter who's paying.
