Ashley Kirkwood struggled to get into law school. Her struggle was so real that she literally camped out in the admissions office until they let her in. She worked hard and transferred to Northwestern Law graduating at the top of her class. She tells me she felt unseen and underutilized at her firm. So she quit a job paying her more than $300,000 a year to go into business for herself. Now she runs a law firm and a speaking business. Her book is Speak Your Way to Cash.

If you're feeling frustrated and discouraged despite putting on a confident front, then you are not alone! In this episode of TSP Show, Ashley Kirkwood, Founder and CEO of Speak Your Way To Cash, emphasizes the importance of competence over confidence and shares her experience of joining TSP's mastermind community. Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of prioritizing confidence over competence, leading to subpar results and missed opportunities. It's easy to fall into the trap of overestimating our abilities and underestimating the amount of preparation and hard work required for success. Join us as we delve into her inspiring journey, and discover the importance of preparation, perseverance, and a strong work ethic in the pursuit of success.

"If it's not repeatable it's not referable." Ashley Kirkwood About Our Guest: Ashley Kirkwood is an international speaker and award-winning lawyer.

Methodology®️. Ashley has been recognized as a thought leader by media outlets galore, including FORBES, Crain's Chicago Business, Black Enterprise, The Chicago Tribune and more! Not to mention, she previously sat on the board at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign that determines who to hire for on-campus student activities! She has been on the hiring side of the industry and the talent side. She will use all of her experience to help you level up your speaking career!     Episode Summary: This episode is powered by the Move to Millions Method One of the biggest mistakes I see time and time again amongst entrepreneurs who claim to want to create companies that make millions is that they fail to protect their brilliance so that it can create money in their bank account.  The truth is leveraging the power of licensing is a great strategy to grow your business and it can also be the catalyst of passive income. We still live in an information economy and when you recognize the value of the information you have to share, you can turn it into cold hard cash to move your business forward or to establish a legacy for your loved ones. Understanding the role your Intellectual Property plays in taking your company and portfolio to the next level is key.  In this week's episode, I sit down with Ashley Kirkwood and we talk about licensing, but not just any licensing, licensing that can make you millions.   Grab pen and paper and listen in to discover: How one idea can make you millions The reason your IP is considered an asset and how to protect and monetize it Why the fastest path to freedom is paved by licensing And so much more Powerful Ashley quotes from the episode: "Your mindset will keep you from more money than your mastery will" "You can identify brilliance before it matches your bank account" "Money is a tool not a measuring stick" "You're exposed to wealth because it's yours"   Last Book Ashley Read: Do It Speaker by David Newman Quote: "If someone gives you a no, they just aren't the right person to give you a yes" - Keith Williams Tool Ashley Swear By: Hubspot CRM How to Connect with Ashley: Website https://www.speakyourwaytocash.com/ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleynkirkwood/ Instagram: instagram.com/theashleynicoleshow Twitter: @AshNicoleSpeaks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Speak-Your-Way-To-Cash-109384657251567/ Special gift from Ashley: use code DARNYELLE to save 30% on Speak Your Way To Cash The Course Incredible One Enterprises, LLC is not responsible for the content and information delivered during the podcast interview by any guest.
