Honestly,
if you are in the education or information business and
you're not conducting your own seminar and workshops yet,
you are leaving a lot of money on the table.
LOTS OF IT.
Maybe
you've heard that before and you decide that running a
seminar is too much work.
Maybe you
don't see yourself as someone who can move crowds because
you're not an 'extrovert'.
I used to
hold onto those limiting beliefs myself, and later a few
revelations dawned on me as I saw more and more 'unusual'
speakers coming out in different fields.
MYTH BUSTED #1: You DON'T have to be an extrovert.
The stage
is not a club exclusive to people who 'hang out' and 'get
along with other people'. And you don't have to be a 'people
person' to be successful in business. It may be an advantage
but it is definitely no prerequisite!
MYTH BUSTED #2: Being in the seminar business is NOT
entirely risky.
Especially if you know what you're doing. Unfortunately,
most people are intimidated by the struggles that new
speakers go through and falsely believe so. And the thing
about being in the seminar business is that, it's not all
about just delivering content.
Right off
the bat I can think of many generous speakers who are not
paid much (if any at all) to speak at events. While these
guys are making a couple hundreds of dollars to speak - or a
consolation gift at the end of their presentation - there
are speaking powerhouses out there pounding in hundreds of
thousands of dollars from every event they go to.
Which One Do You Want To Be?
If you
want to go BIG in the seminar business and take your info
business enterprise to the next level, there's no better
time than now.
