In this episode I get to speak with Amanda Catarzi. Amanda is a Messaging & Copywriter Specialist. She's been helping those struggling to be heard in the digital marketplace. Those have tried all the tricks, but for some reason it's like their mic is off or muted and they are not getting the engagement they need. Be a brilliant copywriter, find your voice and connect with your target audience. She was raised in a cult and sex trafficked. She wasn't allowed to have a voice, opinion, or personality. Writing was the only safe way she had to express herself. Fast forward to the present, she is now a seasoned copywriter and passionate about giving others a resonating, impactful voice. Our Guest Amanda Catarzi LinkedIn : linkedin.com/in/amanda-catarzi Website: inkeryco.com (Company Website) Hacks to Take Away Amanda shared about her journey and what she's been doing and how she has been growing. As an entrepreneur, as somebody who's building their own business. The victimization isn't a physical hold you down. It's not a scenario. It's a toxic, incestuous kind of relationship. She wrote a journal on how it's a guided journal on how to use quantum physics, law of attraction and visualization or mental rehearsal to really attract what you want in your life and build the future you want. Helping other people find their healing in the process of finding her own healing. She was able to go undercover and break up trafficking rings and put bad guys in jail and help women find their true identity. If you're on social media posting something, you have no idea who you are to somebody else. “The posts and what your message does for other people, because people are watching, and you have the power to transform someone's life.” - Amanda Catarzi --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hacksandhobbies/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hacksandhobbies/support

In this episode of the Powerful Stories Podcast, we had the opportunity to hear from journalist Shelly Horton. Shelly is the master of being heard and voicing her opinion on sticky situations – it’s what we all love the most about her. Shelly’s high school guidance counsellor said she talked to much and should dial it down. So, how do you take what someone said you shouldn’t do and translate that into a business skill? Shelly says, “I’m employed for my brain, not how I look and that has been a big switch that I want to instil in other women.” Dealing with internet trolls has become part of Shelly’s life, ‘unfortunately, we’ve lost that ability to have a debate and not attack the other person’. Her advice – ‘Don’t try and deal with it yourself.’ Shelly sees Dr Happy who encouraged her to list the ten people whose opinion matter to you and discount the rest. ‘It’s a psychological trick but it really does bring your power back.’ So many women feel they don’t have a voice, however, Shelly is not afraid to deep dive into a topic and voice an opinion and shares her top 3 tips for being heard as a leader or advocate for change – Firstly, ‘remember the 5 Ps – Prior Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.’ Write down (in dot points) and rehearse the conversation in the mirror. Then prepare your body – focus on your breathing and warm up just like you would run a marathon. And finally, ‘Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable yourself - vulnerability opens up a chance to connect.’ Shelly says, ‘I believe everyone has a voice and everyone deserves to be herd – if you’re honest, vulnerable and show all your sides you are setting an attainable goal.” Shelly’s advice for women who want to be heard amongst the chatter on social media – ‘You need to work hard on your brand, be consistent, deep dive into your core values and take every opportunity to learn from others. Make sure to say no to things that don’t vibrate well with you and yes to what does align with your values. One of Shelly’s most powerful steps came from a lie. Her career as a television presenter started in London - ‘It was one of those things where I just jumped in and made it happen.’ When you’re not someone who has been handed opportunities and you’ve had to hustle for so long, to actually have that success and belief in yourself, it’s a game-changer.” So, sit back and enjoy this powerful story with the extraordinary Shelly Horton.

OK, no need to bury the lead — the title of this post says it all: “It’s time to hit the pause button on Get Your Message Heard.”  It’s not a hasty (or easy) decision, and it is one that I’ve literally spent the last 3 months debating.  The driving force behind all that deliberation is my core and foundational belief that what matters most for all of us is playing to our strengths as much as we possibly can. It’s simply never made sense to me for people to work so hard on becoming good at stuff they don’t do well when they can create far more impact when they get better at doing the things they already do well.  That’s why I found the book Now Discover Your Strengths by Donald O. Clifton and Marcus Buckingham so compelling when it first came out. Completing the included assessment and learning my top 5 strengths (from the list of 34 total strengths) was liberating and affirming.  It also put a lot of things into perspective for me. Like why I always think about the bigger picture and believe so strongly in the power of mapping a vision and then speaking it into existence.  You see the Strengths Finder Assessment (now known as the CliftonStrengths Assessment) revealed that four of my five strengths were in the area of strategic thinking and the fifth was in the area of influence. In other words, I am wired to think about what it possible and the to work through others to make the vision a reality.   That explains just about everything I have ever done in my life. And it confirms why so much of my time is spent thinking about the future and seeking ways to make it better than the past.  A side effect of this gifting is the constant evaluation of everything I do with an eye on how it can be made better and whether it should still be done. That latter not being the easiest thing for most of us to think about.  As I’ve traveled the recent journey that’s been shared in the last few episodes of the podcast, one nagging question has haunted my mind daily: Am I spending most of my time doing the work that I do best? The work that I was designed to do.  Why did thinking about that question lead me to the decision to hit pause on the podcast?  Because I realized that the path it was on was not aligned with the path I am evolving in my business. And, more important, that the resources, effort, and energy I was devoting to creating the weekly episodes were being misallocated and keeping me away from doing work that needs to be done to serve the people I am here to serve.  Not an easy, or comfortable, admission, but a necessary one that I believe is 100% correct at this moment in time. Here’s why:  The journey I have been on since I sold my niche business and made the decision to pivot my work has led me to reconnect with my core passions of working with individuals and teams to map strategic visions and communicate them into existence. But that is not what we’ve been talking about on Get Your Message Heard.  That’s because Get Your Message Heard was a key part of my journey to discover (actually rediscover) what really lights me up — the work I want to devote the rest of my life to doing. And, frankly, I am proud of the body of work that came out of that process because I know it will help others as they navigate their path to creating their impact.  But it’s time to take a step away from the weekly work of putting out an episode so I can redirect my effort and energy to creating the foundational messages that will attract the clients I can serve best as I move forward.  Whether that will lead me back to a podcast in the future is unclear to me at this moment. But I know what I most need in my business at this moment in time is a clear path for the people I am here to serve — a path that helps them see what is possible for them and enables them to decide if I am the right person to help them pursue it.  So this episode formally announces my decision to HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON and stop sharing a weekly show UNTIL I gain clarity on how to make the show (or whatever replaces it) serve the audience more than it serves me.  Thank you to all who have listened to the show since it started just over two years ago. I am grateful and it is my sincere hope that you found the insight you needed in the conversations. I hope you’ll stay tuned as things evolve and wish you much success in Getting Your Message Heard and creating your impact on the world.

If you’ve been listening to the last few episodes of Get Your Message Heard, you’ve recognized that a lot of thinking has been going on in my world. In fact, I’ve done more (and better) strategic thinking about my business in 2019 than I have allowed myself to do in a long time.  A big driver of that has been the realignment of myself with my brand and my vision. Let me explain.  For years I’ve been living out of balance. Medicating myself with sugar and riding the emotional roller coaster that comes with that — something that it took me much too long to realize was in my way.  In this week’s episode I share a bit more about that and reveal the real story behind my 60+ pound weight loss, including the inciting incident that ‘woke’ me to the need to FINALLY solve a lifelong problem.  It’s not being shared to push anyone to make a similar journey, but instead to help Get Your Message Heard listeners understand why this change in the way I physically walk the planet now has been so impactful in my vison for my work. If that inspires someone to take action and change something in their life that is in their way, that will be a bonus from sharing the story.  There is one other thing that led me to share my journey back to what I weighed when I graduated from high school — the desire to push the people who listen to the show to think bigger about who they are, why they are here, and what they can accomplish.  I recorded this episode while driving home from 3-days working with a client and meeting with some mastermind colleagues. During the latter I had a photographer grab some new action shots — I simply could not continue to see the disconnect between who I am now and the photos of who I used to be (which still shows on the podcast image, by the way).  As I drove into the sunrise that morning, I was struck by just how much potential we all have and started wondering how many of the people I engage with are trapped by something they have not even acknowledged, let alone taken action to change. So, I opened my Rev.com recording app and decided to record this episode while thinking about that and starting my day.  I hope the story serves you and stimulates you to take action on something that you know you need to fix. Because arriving on the other side a major change amazing. Being forever changed and knowing it is incredible and opens doors you never even knew were closed.  YOUR TURN: I’m curious — what’s your story? What’s in your way that you need to fix? What dream do you have that you’re not pursuing because it feels too big? Please share a comment or send an e-mail to info@michaelhudson.com and let me know how I can help you get started.

Last week, as a lead up to the 100th episode of Get Your Message Heard next week, Michael took a step back and to explore where we’ve been and where we’re going. In today’s “Part II” he reveals a bit more about the path forward (if you missed it, you might want to listen to  Episode 98 before diving into this one so you get the full context).     Now, sit back, settle in, and envision that you’re having “Part II” of that one-on-one conversation with Michael that we started last week about what Get Your Message Heard has meant to his business, his clients, and his vision for the future.     Here are a few highlights:    Repel the Wrong Ones — Focusing your work on serving the people you are best suited to serve is the key to growing your business. Find the ones who fit by leveraging your strengths to deliver solutions to the specific problems they have that transform their lives. Then map your messaging to attract those people and that will help the ones who don’t fit recognize it which will save you time, effort, and energy!    You’ve Got to Silence the Voices — A big part of the journey in the early episodes of Get Your Message Heard was about silencing the voices that constantly strive to convince us of what we can’t do. They hold us back, make us overthink and hesitate to act, and generally get in the way every time we start to gain momentum.     So how do you silence them? Get clear on the “core framework” you use to solve the problems you solve for the people you serve. Recognize that what you find easy is often amazing to others and find ways to do more of what you do best. That will quiet the voices because you will be aligned and on purpose.    P.S. It might take some work to get clear and there will be some trial and error, some testing and learning, and some less than fulfilling moments. But taking regular action is the only path!    Choose a Definable Audience and Talk Directly to Them — Growing a business is not easy, particularly in the early stages. You start with an idea, you find a couple of clients and start delivering your products or services, then you begin to build a team that allows you to serve more of them. Then one day you realize you are operating at (more likely, beyond) your capacity. It’s time to scale the business.    At that point two things matter most: (1) defining the audience you are seeking to attract, and (2) crafting all of your messaging to attract them. This is where Michael’s sweet spot is: Helping entrepreneurs, business owners, and cause leaders who are ready to scale up map their messaging so they can speak their vision into existence.    The secret sauce boils down to 3 steps:    Making sure your messages are crafted so the audience will RELATE to it. Using their words, speaking to their problems, painting the picture of the transformation they want and need.    Committing to REPEAT those messages until you are almost tired of sharing them because the reality is that many aren’t listening or hearing what you want them to the first few times. When they start smiling, nodding, and finishing your sentences you’re getting close to having said it enough.    Enabling those who hear your messages to REPLAY them just like they do their favorite song. It may sound slightly different (like a live or in concert version), but the gist of the message is there. And that gives you leverage and makes scaling of your efforts possible!    Learn from Guests and Add Your Insights — Shifting Get Your Message Heard from a solo show to an interview show has changed things in many ways. One thing that listeners have shared with Michael is that they sometimes wish they heard more about how he sees the insights shared in the interviews.     That’s why one change that is coming is the inclusion of regular solo episodes where Michael will tie things together and call out the most valuable insights from the recent episodes. And if enough listeners share their questions there will be regular Q&A episodes.    P.S. If you have a question, please send it to info@MichaelHudson.com and it will be addressed on a future episode.    You Need Pathways for Clients & Customers — One thing that has become clearer than anything else during the life of Get Your Message Heard is the power and importance of having clear pathways for the people who want to engage with you. If, like Michael, you have a servant heart, it is difficult to say no to people who don’t fit or whom you just don’t have the capacity to serve.    In some cases, they aren’t ready for what you can deliver, and it would be a disservice to try and help that at the place where they are. In other cases, there is a mismatch of values and vision that needs to be acknowledged to maintain your integrity to the work you do. That’s why you need to know (before you are inundated) how you will handle the path of prospective clients and where you will lead them when they raise their hand to engage with you.    Listen in to learn more about these things and to identify the insights that will best serve you.

With the 100th episode of Get Your Message Heard just around the corner, it’s time to take a step back and explore where we’ve been and where we’re going. In today’s episode Michael gets personal about the path he has been on since launching the podcast and sets the stage for sharing a bit about the path forward (tune in to Episode 99 next week to learn more about that).    Before diving in to the content of the episode, Michael shared an opportunity that can help you get some personal visibility for your brand…here are the details:    A chance to join Michael for the Live Recording of Episode 100 — One of the most rewarding things that has happened since Get Your Message Heard was launched is the moments when listeners reach out to share an insight you’ve received from an episode of the podcast that helped them.     If you’re one of those people Michael wants to know what helped you and wants you to help him share it with others who might also benefit. All you have to do is complete this one-week challenge:    Share at least three insights you’ve gotten from episodes of Get Your Message Heard on at least two social media platforms between January 7th and January 14th to be entered into a drawing where 5 listeners will be invited to join Michael for the Facebook LIVE recording of Episode 100.     Be sure to do these three things:  Link to the episode’s blog post — each episode has a post that can be found at http://www.MichaelHudson.com/### (where ### is the episode number)  Tag Michael in the post — you can find Michael on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter @DrMichaelHudson  Use the hashtag #ChangeImpactAction to make it easy for the posts to be found.    What if you’re not a social media person? Then you can send an email to info@MichaelHudson.com and share your insights directly with Michael. But if you do use social media, please follow that path as the goal is to reveal the value of the podcast to others.    That’s all there is to it: Share 6 posts on social media following these steps and you’ll be entered. You can start anytime, but posts must be up by 5 pm on Monday, January 14th to be considered.    Oh, and block your calendar for 2 pm to 3:30 pm Eastern on January 15th so you will be available for the Facebook Live Broadcast (and please join me even if you aren’t one of the 5 selected)!    PS: The one person who ‘blows me away’ with their sharing of their insights will receive a complimentary 90-minute deep dive strategy call with me…Who will that be?    Now, sit back, settle in, and envision that you’re having a one-on-one conversation with Michael about what Get Your Message Heard has meant to his business, his clients, and his vision for the future. Here are a few highlights:    Use 3 Words to Guide Your Year — Michael is a fan of Chris Brogan’s approach of choosing three words at the beginning of the year to set your mind on what you want to achieve. His 3 words for 2019 are #ChangeImpactAction    Acknowledge and Own Your Superpowers — Most of us spend too much time and energy trying to become better at things we don’t do well, instead of focusing on doing what we do well better. One of the lessons that’s emerged from doing 97 episodes of the podcast is the recognition that focusing on your strengths is the path to real impact.     That’s what enables you to get clear on the problem you are here to solve for the people you are meant to serve. If you’re unclear about what they are, consider using the Clifton Strengths Finder to identify your strengths and then start working every day to align your actions to live into those strengths!    You Need a Velvet Rope — We’ve all seen the velvet rope at movie premieres and nightclubs, even if only in the movies. The truth is you need a velvet rope in your business that makes it clear who you serve and who you don’t serve. It is the only path to clarity for you and the best way to increase your influence, impact, and income. Don’t make the mistake of trying to serve everyone because that is NOT why you are here. (You can learn a lot more about this concept by reading Michael Port’s Book Yourself Solid.    The Journey Takes Time — Michael shares the story of his journey (that began in the fall of 2014) of refocusing his work from serving a single niche to doing the ‘great work’ he believes he was put on the planet to do. A key pivot point was encountering Michael Bungay Stanier’s book Do More Great Work and hearing the keynote about it at a conference where completion of a simple pie chart revealed what was missing in Michael’s work.    You’ve Got to Respect the Process — Truth be told it took much longer for the Get Your Message Heard podcast and Michael’s new work to get traction. One reason was that there were some things that needed to be sorted out personally before the change could full take hold. It also helped that after selling the niche business at the end of 2015 Michael continued working with a handful of clients and wound their projects down in 2016, 2017, and early 2018. That backstop of revenue bought some time to map the path forward, probably more than was required.    All of these things combine to explain why the path forward for Get Your Message Heard will continue to evolve in some important ways as Michael homes in on serving the people he can best help — tune in to Episode 99 next week to learn more.

And I was like, maybe if I can just help people work out, they will enjoy it as much as I do and they will get as much as I do.” (14:02) “Everyone wants a quick fix, they want the secret. And really the secret is you do it one step at a time, one habit at a time until you master it, and then you move onto the next thing.” (20:08) “When I learned how to just kind of relax and let myself have seasons and be a bit more intuitive with both movement and food, that was when my body was able to get to kind of a set point where it just kind of stays regardless of my fitness routine looks like.” (24:54) “More people need to be included in these conversations. I was like, that's what I want to do. I want to facilitate conversations surrounding women of color in wellness. That’s it! That’s what we’re going to do... Major lightbulb” (38:16) “I think not often enough do we take the time to understand where those practices actually come from, and what cultural significance they could have to people. And we are not really paying due diligence to make sure we're sharing and practicing these things in a way that is respectful to those cultures.” (43:25)   Resources Mentioned In This Show  The GOOD Fest The Balanced Black Girl Podcast The Balanced Black Girl Website Follow Balanced Black Girl Podcast on Instagram Follow Balanced Les on Instagram Harder to Kill Facebook Club   Check out the full show notes here!

But there’s a downside to isolation that limits our impact…spending too much time in our own heads can lead to overthinking and ultimately to misunderstanding the very people we seek to serve.   The simple truth is that working on our own will never reveal what we most need to know about those we seek to attract—the words they use in their minds to describe the way they feel, the pain they are experiencing, the outcome they wish they had.   The good news is that there is an easy process for solving this problem. A way to gain insight into the way your audience sees their world. A way to position yourself as one who can help them overcome the challenges they are facing.   I call it The Ask. Listen. Learn. Serve. Mantra.   This week’s episode of Get Your Message Heard reveals how you can use it to engage with your target audience and define your path to impact. 

Most of us who lead expertise-based businesses work alone. We focus our effort in a specific topic area. We serve a specific type of client or market niche. We solve a specific problem for those we serve.   As our relationships with the clients we serve grow strong we become trusted advisors—people they turn to for help on a regular basis. But often the solutions to those other problems are not within our core areas of expertise and experience.   Though it’s tempting to want to step up, learn what is necessary, and deliver an intervention that solves the problem, that is seldom the best path. You run the risk of compromising your relationship, and if you’re really honest with yourself you know someone else could solve it better.   So what do you do? Develop a strategic partnership to bring someone in who is an expert in that area by creating a strategic partnership (aka strategic alliance) for the project.   This episode of the Get Your Message Heard podcast explores the idea of strategic partnerships/alliances and offers ideas on how to make them work, and why you might not want to consider them.

Speaking is an art but attracting the right audience is a science.  If you’re building an expert business, it is important to understand both the art and the science … meaning the difference between the craft of speaking vs. the intentionality and strategy behind building the business. Getting the right audience is challenging and if you don't have the right audience for your work, you're never going to reach the 6-figure level in your business. But here’s the good news. All of us in the expert space build our businesses in much the same way. We create the positive impact on the people we serve in much the same way.  In today’s podcast, we will discuss the 5-step path every expert takes to create impact. Question of the Week  This week’s question comes from several people I’ve recently spoke with. “What kind of results can I expect from being part of a mastermind group?” Listen to the podcast and learn the 3 things you get from active participation in a mastermind group.

You love your subject matter and know it well. That’s part of why you’re in the speaking business to begin with. And now you’re tempted to give all your knowledge away to serve your audience.

Rather, it creates an even greater opportunity to serve your audience. In this episode, you’ll learn 4 reasons why you can’t give away everything you know to every audience you serve, every time. Some of these reasons will surprise you. Listen to the podcast for all the details.

I’ve received hundreds of questions over the years from people who were looking to create a business similar to mine (using their own expertise, of course). In today’s episode, veteran radio broadcaster Bill Sammons joins me for a special Q&A episode of the Get Your Message Heard podcast. Bill is a good friend and an expert interviewer, so he keeps us on track as we share answers to questions I’ve received from our podcast listeners. Among the questions discussed in this episode are:    How do I know that my expertise is valuable and something others need?    What steps do I need to take to get started in the expert business?    Can I really build an expertise-based business as an introvert?    How do I find ideal clients?  In each episode of the Get Your Message Heard podcast, I answer a question from a listener or blog reader.

Michael Hudson wants you to get your message heard. In this episode, Michael explains how and why to get your message out to the world. He also shares why you need a talk specifically tailored towards selling you and the work you do. Michael's website - MichaelHudson.com Michael on Twitter - @DrMichaelHudson Michael on Facebook - DrMichaelHudson Here is Michael's exercise to map your significant life experiences; This is a quick exercise where you will map the most significant experiences in your life across the timeline…events you experienced something that changed you, your perspective, and your path. 1. Take a piece of paper and lay it out landscape. 2. Draw a horizontal line across the middle of the paper. 3. Label the left side with the date of your birth and the right with the current date. 5. Draw vertical lines above the center line for the positive experiences with the height of the line indicating the significance of the event to you. Label the event at the top of the line for the event. 6. Draw vertical lines below with the relative heights indicating the significance of the event for the negative experiences in your life. Label the events at the bottom of the line for the event. 7. Review your timeline and circle the 5 most significant events (positive or negative), i.e., the ones with the longest lines. 8. Answer this question for each of these 5 events…What did I learn from the experience that reveals insight that others can use? This will help you define your unique message as it reveals the things on your life journey that led you to discover what matters most. Your core message will emerge from these insights…because they make up your signature story. They capture the essence of what has shaped you and are the message you should share to create the most impact for those you seek to serve.

Your mindset, your message, and your method—all three must be in order for you to move away from pro-bono gigs to full-fee speaking engagements.   Whether you are just starting your speaking business or have been established for many years, you will undoubtedly be approached to give a no-fee presentation. Sometimes this is worth considering if (and only if) it serves both you and the client.   But don’t be afraid to walk away if the engagement doesn't serve both the client and you. Keep in mind...you are not selling time. You are selling expertise and transformation. It took you months or years to craft and rehearse your audience-focused message.     You deliver unique value, and you should be appropriately compensated for your expertise. The most important story you have to share is the one that lives inside of you...the one only you can share.   In today’s episode, you’ll learn about 3 points to help you turn free gigs into paid speaking engagements.     Question Of The Week   This week’s question comes from Tom Schwab from Interview Valet.   Many people struggle with valuing what they have to say. How do you get over this?   Listen to the podcast and learn about what I see as the path to recognizing your value and the power of what you know and can share with your audiences.   A reminder to Get Your Message Heard listeners: If you have a question, please send it to podcast@michaelhudson.com.

The key to clarity lies in asking the right questions. In today's episode, I share 4 questions that I learned from Michael Hudson on a recent consulting trip. Michael uses these questions when journaling every morning, and he recommended I try them out. In the days since I started asking (and answering) these questions, my clarity and focus have sharpened like never before. Michael is a well-respected consultant who also helps experts create impact with their ideas and get their message heard. I highly recommend his podcast, Get Your Message Heard. It's terrific.

It is always less expensive to generate repeat business than it is to find prospects and land new business. That's why we should make cultivating positive relationships with the customers we have a top priority. The path to repeat business begins with understanding the customer's pain and keeping your attention on relieving that pain through your services. When you show clients the way to success and help them overcome their pain, you’ll be rewarded again and again. Keep in mind...your success will come from making the customer a winner. So, find a way to give them a quick win that makes them look good. In today’s episode, you’ll learn about 5 reasons people don't re-hire and how you can reverse this growth-stifling trend. Question Of The Week This week’s two-part question comes from Dean Showalter from AirplaneOwnerMaintenance.com. Could you tell me about the first time you got paid to speak, and what would you do differently if you were in that situation again? We all make "rookie" mistakes. Listen to the podcast and learn what I would have done differently when I started in the speaking business.

The opportunities you walk away from because they don't fit are going to be the ones that pay off as much, if not more for you, than the ones you accept. Trust me. If you take every speaking engagement that comes your way, you might fill your bank account and improve your cash flow in the short term. But all you've really done is set yourself up for failure, or for a one-shot deal. It is no way to grow a sustainable 6-figure business. You know by now I'm not a big fan of one-shot engagements. In fact, it’d be great if we could ban the word “gig” from the expert business...forever. You don’t want gigs. You want to have a chance to go back after you've done a good job.  In today’s episode, you’ll learn 6 ways to land the best opportunities by disqualifying yourself during the sales process.  Question Of The Week  This week’s question comes from Jeff Meister from LifeUntucked.com. I would welcome any speaking opportunity that presents itself, but I don’t see myself speaking anytime soon. What would you recommend I do now to prepare myself for what may come down the road? My days are full with building my current business, so I can’t really afford to add more training or practice. Knowing that these opportunities are often unexpected, I don’t want to be caught flat-footed. Listen to the podcast and learn what I think Jeff can do to prepare for future speaking engagements. HINT: The answer has something to do with creating a “Sell Your Message” talk. A reminder to Get Your Message Heard listeners: If you have a question, please send it to podcast@michaelhudson.com.

Facilitating brainstorming sessions can be a challenge, especially when you have a room full of creative people. In today's episode, I share 3 simple tips that can dramatically increase the quality, engagement, and results of brainstorming sessions that you host -- especially if you are a coach or consultant working with a client's team.

We live in a world of social proof, don't we? As you work to build your 6-figure speaking business, testimonials are a persuasive social-proof tool you can use to land new clients.

Be you, everyone else is taken. When you embrace that simple concept of authenticity, you’ll see your results soar. Being authentic is perhaps the most important aspect of delivering a great presentation. I’ve certainly seen it work during the course of 8,000 presentations over the past 35 years. The ones that work are the ones that are “me.” Authenticity matters because: We live in a world of openness and free sharing. Audiences expect to see the real you. When you step to the front of the room, you are the center of attention. But people are watching you when you’re offstage, too.  Bad things happen when we are not being authentic. Want to know three bad things that happen when you aren’t authentic? Click the player above to listen or, better yet, subscribe to the Get Your Message Heard podcast in iTunes or your favorite podcast app. Also Mentioned in Today’s Episode: The 5D System For Being Authentic DECIDE who you are going to be and commit to be that person every day, every time, in every situation without fail, even when it is hard. DEFINE what that means to you. How do you live your brand promise and deliver that experience to those you serve. DESIGN your business around your expertise/experience. Map your experiences and mine the lessons, then seek audiences that need them. DEVELOP your skills to be the best you possible. Learn what works for you and what doesn’t. Experiment, get feedback, and adjust. DELIVER the messages that only you can deliver. Craft your content based on you and your authentic journey. Be vulnerable and real to reach your audience. Pro Tip For Increasing Impact Take 5 minutes today to reach out to someone who helped you somewhere along the line and say thanks! You can call, email, send a handwritten note, or even give them a shout-out on social media.

If you’re tired of chasing “gigs” like you’re an ambulance-chasing lawyer, then today’s podcast is for you. We explore 3 things you can do to move from “next-gig chaser” to a real business-builder. Being a great speaker isn’t your entire value proposition. No matter how effective you are in front of a room, you must look higher to the transformations you’re helping your audience create … which can lead to exponential business growth. To save you hours of research, I’ll share with you three things that helped me get off the revenue roller coaster and grow your 6-figure business: Knowing when to say yes and when to walk away. Revealing value in measureable ways. Creating business from the stage without selling. But before you build a great house, you must lay a strong foundation. You can do this by: Being clear because focus drives success. Developing your skills to master delivery. Creating your core content. Committing to delivering results.

It is the question on every speaker’s mind, all the time: How do I get more speaking gigs? My response will shock you, so listen to the podcast to hear the answer. Announcing the Vision Speaker Mastermind The mastermind concept leverages an idea taught by Napoleon Hill: bringing together a group of people to put focused energy on helping each other grow their businesses. I’ve been a part of several masterminds over the past 25 years. I’ve benefited from the power of the mastermind and seen how they have helped others. That’s why I’m launching the Vision Speaker Mastermind. If you can create the vision of what you’re trying to achieve and describe it in detail, you can achieve it. The Vision Speaker Mastermind will launch in the next 30 days. Go to michaelhudson.com/vsmastermind and be the first to know!
