🎙️ MEET DEE SHEPHERD — FOUNDER OF THE COMMITTED COLLECTIVE 📅 NOVEMBER 10 | 6 PM GMT 🔗 https://meet.google.com/bwj-jgpd-hby The summit you want to host? The book you've been meaning to write? The podcast, retreat, business or community you've been dreaming about? You have the idea. You have the ambition. But somehow, another week passes… and it's still sitting on your to-do list. 👀 What if the missing piece isn't another idea or another plan? What if it's commitment, accountability and people who help you keep moving? @Dee Shepherd created a community for business owners who are ready to take action, keep their word to themselves and build trust through doing what they said they would do. 💜 Inside The Committed Collective: - Make meaningful commitments and follow through. - Connect with like-minded business owners. - Share progress, celebrate wins and support others. - Get deeper accountability through weekly calls for paid members. - Join the monthly community call. 🚀 AND THERE'S SOMETHING BIG HAPPENING! The INSANE CHALLENGE starts Monday, November 9! Five days to take that BIG, slightly scary, exciting idea out of your head and start making it happen. Whether it's a summit, retreat, podcast, book, new brand or something completely different — bring the idea you've been waiting to act on. We'll talk about what it takes to move from intention to action, why accountability matters and how community can help you make bigger things happen. 💡 You don't need to have everything figured out.

I'm genuinely curious about this one! I see a lot of events coming through Skool Events Daily, and quite often I find myself wondering what the organiser is actually hoping to get out of them. Are they trying to attract new members? Get paying clients? Share their knowledge? Or are they simply holding events because they think they should? And I'll tell you why I'm asking. When I look at how some events are being put together and promoted, I do wonder what they're going to achieve what the organiser is hoping for. Surely, when you decide to hold an event, you have an end goal in mind? Something you actually want to achieve from the time and effort you're putting into it. Because depending on what that goal is, how you plan, present and promote your event could be very different. So, I'd love to know... What's your MAIN reason for holding events? If you've got more than one reason, choose your main one and tell us about the others in the comments. And here's something else I'd be interested to know: Before you organise an event, do you actually think about what a successful outcome would look like? Because I'm beginning to wonder how many people do. 😊

I was just reading this post over in the amazing Danielle Drews community "Public Speaking - Vocal Power", and I needed to share it with all of you here because this is gold from a lady that seriously knows her stuff. This is one of the most common questions I get.....and I understand.... Your Ego Wants Payment. But... Event Organisers Want Proof The key here is understanding this ...𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮. The skill is learning to recognise the currency. The most valuable things a stage gives you never show up on an invoice. They are... ✅ Proof: the assets. Video clips, photos, and testimonials that show you deliver. ✅ Prospects: the connections with people in the audience who may want to work with you. ✅ Partners: meeting organisers and influential people who can refer you to bigger stages.

When you're starting out, take the chamber breakfast, the local association, the small podcast. Every stage is reps. It's how you sharpen your message, find your stories, and start building the proof that event organisers want to see. 𝐀𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬, 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥. Once you have strong proof and credibility, you can start choosing free gigs based on who's in the room and which of the three P's they're most likely to deliver.

I didn't do it for exposure or leads. I did it because it was a chance to give back to people who serve our community. However I ended up meeting several high-profile politicians who were there to honour the brigade. Partners I never would have met if I'd only said yes to "strategic" gigs.
