Building Your Speaker Arsenal as a Solo-Preneur

Dear Soul-o-Preneur,
Are you prepared for ANY opportunity that comes your way for you to build your audience RIGHT NOW?
For example, if the organizer for the Oil and Gas conference in Houston, TX on July 7th and 8th (the LARGEST Oil and Gas conference in the US, by the way) reached out to you because on of their presenters had an emergency and couldn’t make it last minute and now they need someone to hold a 30 minute workshop on
“Workplace {insert anything here - wellness, leadership, communication, organization, automation, AI Operations, the possibilities are ENDLESS) for C-Suite Executives” and they your materials in the ✨next 20 minutes✨,do you have something you could adjust for ANY audience that you could produce for them to pitch you for this opportunity?
Wild isn’t it?
Don’t think it could happen?
A few years ago, I got a DM from someone at ✨Athleta✨. They had a workshop scheduled for the ✨following morning✨ at 8AM at one of their locations over 200 miles from where we lived and the person they’d hired to teach couldn’t make it last minute. They wanted me to come, but needed to vet me.
Guess who was on the road a few hours later?
Me💁🏾♀️
From there, I also got THREE MORE opportunities to hold workouts + workshops at a location that was much closer to me.
There are ✨SEVEN assets✨ you MUST have place if you want to BE ready so you don’t have to GET ready.
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
The MOST IMPORTANT thing you MUST HAVE FIRST is
🧜🏾♀️ Your Own UNIQUE Contribution to Your Industry 🧜🏾♀️
If you don’t have THAT, then you simply ARE NOT in any real position for anyone to actually take time out of their precious lives to come and listen to you.
I know that stings and I know that’s not what the “I make 45-figures-a-month doing this ONE THING” influencers tell you, but it IS the truth.
NO ONE should take any additional time out of their lives to hear what you have to say about your Industry if the only thing you have to share is what is readily found on the internet.
I said what I said.
So, FIRST, develop your own Unique Contribution to your industry, because FROM THERE stems the rest of the content for the BODY OF WORK YOU can bring to your Industry.
✨✨Don’t know what YOUR’S yet? No worries. I can help you with that 😉✨✨
Once you have that in place, then you need
✅ A 15-Minute Experience
✅ A 30-Minute Experience
✅ A 1-Hour Experience
✅ A 30-Minute Workshop
✅ A Media Kit
✅ Speaker Reel (and YES, there is a way for you to get this, EVEN IF, you’ve never been invited to speak publicly before - ✨and YES, I can help you with that 😉✨)
Your Talks and Workshop need to be flexible enough that the Time can be expanded or contracted and they also need to be RELEVANT enough to be able to insert ANY AUDIENCE into your Experience.
Now once you have created these assets, then you take the next step
And if you know me, you know I LOVE a good
🧜🏾♀️System🧜🏾♀️
So YES, there is a step-by-step process to get you from where your are right now to where you need to be to take advantage of such opportunities 😉
More on that, later…

Real quick, before you go,
If you haven’t joined our free facebook group, The Soul-o-Preneur’s Enclave, then you should. You need a space and a community that understands the unique challenges YOU face as a solo-preneur that other business owners who have teams don’t experience.
