Ever thought of creating your own online course? I did a video on what I wished I had known before I created my course. Check it out?HERE.

Many have aspirations to become a speaker, but what does it take? I read a book recently, The Wealthy Speaker 3.0, which goes into detail as to what you need to have to be a speaker. Whether you speak for a fee, speak to market your business, or speak for another reason, this book can serve as a resource. Check out the LinkedIn post I did about the book?HERE.

One other thing. I was at a networking event recently. There were exhibitor tables there. A rep at one of the companies entertained all my questions, even though I wasn’t an ideal client.This interaction happened after I had a less than stellar interaction with a rep from another company at her table. It was evident that she didn't care to answer my questions, even though they were similar to the ones I asked the other rep. Needless to say, I won't refer her business to anyone.Being nice to people should be the default, and when you talk to people, the first thought shouldn't be "what can I get from this person?" It should be "how can I be a resource to this person." I made a LinkedIn post about it. You can check it out?HERE.
All for now. Have a great week!
