So you’re a business owner who is interested in spreading your message through public speaking. Good for you! Public speaking is arguably one of the best ways to promote your business. The problem is that you don’t know if you should you or should not charge for your speaking engagements. And if you do charge, how to you set your fee?
If you are like the majority of people, you struggle with self-promotion. To help you get past this fear, I encourage you to write out ten answers the following question. In other words, fill in the blank at least ten times, although I’m sure you could fill this in at least thirty times. Be as specific as you can:
“If you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.” – Actor Will Smith
In this clip below, actor Will Smith says several interesting things. One thing is that he doesn’t want to be an icon. Rather, he wants to be an idea. He wants to represent an idea. Specifically, he wants to represent possibilities. Magic. Taking it one step further, he talks about the power of making a choice – just deciding to create whatever you want to create. That we can choose to be. But it starts with a decision.
This is indeed powerful. I’m great at this in some areas and still working on it in others. How about you?
As you watch this, think about a decision you need to make and where you may be holding back as it relates to promoting your business. Many women business owners fall short when promoting their business and authentically tooting their own horns. Is it time to make a significant decision about how you promote yourself or your business?
If you are a corporate refugee like me, you are all too familiar with the standard 7 to 9 holidays that you get during the year. However, did you know that there are literally thousands of holidays during the year that people celebrate? For example, did you know that September is “Shameless Self Promotion Month” as well as “People Skills” and “Healthy Aging Month.” October is “Eat Better Eat Together Month.” One of personal favorites is “Bubble Gum Day” in February!
