4 Resources that Helped Me Book Over 1,000 Speaking Gigs!

Even if a public speaker has years of experience, they have their own way of practicing and maintaining their speaking businesses. Some of them rely on masterminds and courses. Others rely on proven marketing techniques. Here are 4 resources that will help you grow and scale your speaking business. 

Reading Materials

Reading materials such as books are definite tools that can help you improve your speaking and understanding skills. As a public speaker, you need to know what you are speaking and definitely these resources can help you grow and improve your vocabulary and knowledge base. 

Videos

Watching educational videos related to public speaking can give you a lot of ideas in regards to improving your speaking habits. Watching educational videos can also help in motivating you and reminds you why you are in this industry and what is your relevance. Ted talks are my favorite to watch. 

 Join a Speaking Community

For example, toastmasters clubs allow people to build the skills they need to become more confident public speakers and stronger leaders in every area of their lives. You also get a supportive group environment where people with diverse skills and backgrounds come together to practice their skills and exchange valuable feedback.

Good Peers and Friends

What you also need are friends and peers that motivate you and help you improve in your endeavors, being in a toxic environment will not get you any closer to your goals. I have many “business besties” who keep me motivated and focused.

Notes

Taking notes is an easy way to keep you reminded of talking points and your speaking goals. By having notes, you can review everything and will not forget the essentials.
