Honestly,
if you are in the education or information business and you're
not conducting your own seminar and workshops yet, you are leaving
a lot of money on the table.
LOTS
OF IT.
Maybe
you've heard that before and you decide that running a seminar
is too much work.
Maybe
you don't see yourself as someone who can move crowds because
you're not an 'extrovert'.
I
used to hold onto those limiting beliefs myself, and later a few
revelations dawned on me as I saw more and more 'unusual' speakers
coming out in different fields.
MYTH
BUSTED #1: You DON'T have to be an extrovert.
The
stage is not a club exclusive to people who 'hang out' and 'get
along with other people'. And you don't have to be a 'people person'
to be successful in business. It may be an advantage but it is
definitely no prerequisite!
MYTH
BUSTED #2: Being in the seminar business is NOT entirely risky.
Especially
if you know what you're doing. Unfortunately, most people are
intimidated by the struggles that new speakers go through and
falsely believe so. And the thing about being in the seminar business
is that, it's not all about just delivering content.
Right
off the bat I can think of many generous speakers who are not
paid much (if any at all) to speak at events. While these guys
are making a couple hundreds of dollars to speak - or a consolation
gift at the end of their presentation - there are speaking powerhouses
out there pounding in hundreds of thousands of dollars from every
event they go to.
Which
One Do You Want To Be?
If
you want to go BIG in the seminar business and take your info
business enterprise to the next level, there's no better time
than now.
