On this episode of Making Elephants Fly, Terry sits down with Micahel Hudson. There are days when he's in the boardroom helping financial services executives and the next he's in the weeds with an entrepreneur helping them get their message heard. Michael was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug at an early age—starting his first business when he was just seven years old. He went on to start a disc jockey business in his teens, and a cabinet and countertop business with his father while in college, before running away from home to become a college professor. Since then he has helped over 3,000 businesses, entrepreneurs, non-profit organizations, and government agencies create their strategic visions and communicate them into existence. After growing up petrified to speak in public, Michael committed to helping people develop their ability to communicate their messages to those who need to hear them. He regularly speaks at conferences and conventions sharing his personal story—revealing the power of personal experience to lead the audience to take action—and has delivered over 8,000 paid presentations across the past 34 years. He's the author of Public Speaker Secrets: 52 Proven Ways to Increase Your Impact Every Time You Speak and spoke at The Thing 2018 in Orlando. Join Terry as he sits down with Micahel as they discuss how to discover the rooms where you need to show up and what to say once you get there.

For those of us in the expert space (speakers, coaches, consultants, writers, and content creators) is that it's very easy to get distracted by a new idea. We see a path we can take and it captures out attention--often taking our focus off of what we were already working on that is not yet complete.   We know we can do it, and we want to recapture the energy that comes with a new project. And frankly what we are working on is not panning out as we planned, so why not refocus our effort and energy?   In today's podcast I share some thoughts on this topic--something I understand all too well and struggle with more than you know.   My bottom line on the subject is this: There is value in Following One Course Until Success (i.e., FOCUS), even if the success is that you learn it won't work. Where most of us go wrong is that we give up too soon, before we've even shared our work with enough (of the right) people to know if it connects or not.   My advice, and my decision in the case I discuss on the podcast, is to commit to FOCUS on the most important project you're working on...the one that will create the most impact. Fight the tendency to jump to the next thing until you've shipped it and received feedback from people in the audience for whom it is intended.   Make sure to check out the Navigating North Summit:   navigatingnorthsummit.com Have A Question?

The last few weeks of the year always challenges me. Usually there are a number of projects and action items remaining on my list, and I am never quite sure whether to focus my energy on doing them.   The truth is that in the past I never asked that question. I just pushed through and made sure all of the goals and objectives I had set earlier in the year were completed--ever box had to be checked off!   But you know what I learned?   Doing that doesn't serve me, my business, or my clients well. In fact, it takes my attention off of what matters most at this time of the year ... setting the stage for a quick start in the New Year.   That's why a few years ago I started subjecting my action list to this question every October: If I wasn't already doing this, would I begin?   When I ask that question (and answer honestly) I realize that some of the things I thought mattered early in the year are no longer relevant. So I started taking action to remove them from the list.   What did I gain?   Margin.   The margin I needed to map my plans for Q1 of New Year. That set me up for more impact with less stress, and has enabled me to achieve more in the coming year.   And you know what...most of those items I took off the list were never missed.   So what's the secret?   Getting clear on where you want to be at the end of next year and committing to make it happen. It starts with your destination story...an idea I share in today's podcast that I encourage you to pursue. Have A Question? I'd Love to Answer.

Sometimes it's all too easy to forget that you are the product. That means you need to show up bright and shiny, with no dings, no dents, and no distractions.   That's why you need to take care of yourself at every turn. Whether it's planning travel, managing your content, balancing downtime and connection time, protecting your intellectual property, or engaging a coach to push you and keep you on track, making a conscious effort to be your best every time you step out to serve matters.   In today's episode I explore each of these topics a bit and share some insights stimulated by a hectic week where I did intentionally did some things different while traveling.   Some of it worked, and some of it didn't.   But there were some lessons and insights worth sharing to support your success as you make decisions about how you will build your business.   Here are the key topics covered in this 'potpourri' episode: 4:00 – Planning to Travel to Protect Your Energy 8:30 – Providing Information: Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right 13:00 – Pushing Past Your Comfort Zone to Connect 16:30 – Protecting Your Intellectual Property 23:30 – Pushing Yourself with the Help of a Coach Have A Question?

There's a significant shift when you start thinking of your presentations as a performance rather than a speech. There are many underlying things performers do differently than "speakers" ... and these have some terrific ramifications for us when we speak. It elevates the importance of our speech, and it also means we need to script and rehearse things more than we think.

I recently attended Michael and Amy Port's Heroic Public Speaking event, and what an event it was! As I listened to presenter after presenter, I was struck by a common theme woven through the most effective speeches: "The source of your most significant pain is the path to your greatest impact."   In this episode, I share my thoughts on how you can constructively weave in authenticity and vulnerability into your speeches without feeling like you're drawing undue attention to yourself.    Authenticity will always have an audience, but striking the right balance can be a challenge. Tune in to today's episode for some tactful recommendations on how to balance the right amount of authenticity and information into your speech. Have A Question? I'd Love to Answer.

You've probably heard some version of the "burn the boats story." One version is that in 1519, eleven ships carrying 600 Spaniards landed on an inland plateau that would one day be known as Mexico. Their goal was to conquer an empire that had amassed a massive fortune. However, with just 600 men, most of whom were vastly under supplied, the prospect of conquering the vast Aztec empire seemed like an impossible task. Rather than charge forward, the commander Cortes gathered his men on the beach and ordered them to burn the ships they just arrived on, effectively destroying their only escape route. The only choice left was to push forward and succeed. It's easy to see how many entrepreneurs often find themselves in similar (though probably not as life-threatening) circumstances. To be a business is to contend with a constant sense of being outmanned, outgunned, and out planned. Sometimes, burning your ships and eliminating your safety net is the only way to push forward in the face of daunting odds, and it's what I talk about in today's episode. Have A Question?

What are you committed to? This question is more difficult to answer than you might expect. Outside of the obvious, such as family, friends, health, well-being, etc., it's important to examine how your values carry over into your business practices.  In this episode, I share a few little things that go a big way in conveying your commitment to your clients: things like placing their logo on your handouts, or just following up on what you say. Speaking of commitment, I'm recording this episode at 4:30AM because yes: I'm committed to you! Have A Question? I'd Love to Answer.

Many of us in the "expert business" love to consume content. We're just wired that way - we love to consume information, process, and figure things out. The challenge is whether we're consuming content in an effective manner and whether it serves us well. In this episode, I ask three questions to help you weigh the choice of what content you choose to consume: What content are you consuming? (Where are you spending your time?) Why are you consuming this particular content? How is the consumption of this content moving the ball down the field for your business? Tune into today's episode and you'll hear how I personally weigh my content selections, including how I navigate the fine line of taking "downtime" content and applying it to my "uptime" business-building work.

Eleanor Roosevelt is credited with saying: “Learn from the Mistakes of Others … You Don’t Have Time to Make Them All Yourself."

In this episode I go out on a limb and share the 7 biggest mistakes I made when starting my speaking business. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, so save yourself from frustration and learn from my mistakes! Isolating Myself & Doing It Alone. Creativity is not a solo sport. Doing it on my own and not investing in support or expertise early on was a big mistake. Not Following the Recipes. I was too creative and too confident that I could tweak proven frameworks and do it my way. Throwing Too Much at the Audience and assuming they could figure it all out. Seeking Perfect Solutions. I caught myself in the cycle of test, learn, refine, repeat … without ever launching. Hiding My Story. Instead of creating connection, I sought to impress people. This actually led to less impact, not more. Failure to Capture videos, images, and testimonials. Failing to Build Relationships. A mastermind group helped me gain traction in this area like nothing else. I’ll talk more about this on the next episode because a mastermind group has had the single most significant impact on my business. Have A Question? I'd Love to Answer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What’s the #1 mistake people make when it comes to referrals?  They assume referrals will come because they show up and do what they said they would do.
