Almost 25 years ago now I delivered what was easily described as the worst speech of my life.
I was nervous, I stumbled, it was awkward.
And yet, the one speech changed the course of my life forever.
From the people in that conference breakout room my firm landed several million dollars in contracts over the next few years.
Speaking is one of the easiest ways to attract clients and in the latest episode of The Unstoppable CEO™ Podcast I interview with Gene Hammett…he’s an absolute wizard at driving business success through speaking.
He’s not a “here’s how to get paid big bucks to speak” guy.
Instead…he’ll show you how to use speaking to get clients for your business (and you’ll probably make more money than that big name speaker you heard at the last conference).
Plus, Gene reveals his secret to finding and keeping focus in your business. We discuss the real secret to being productive (it’s not what you think).
