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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
