IMHO ... if you don't have a speaking event booked, shoot a video. Get out there, spread your message. Because it IS a viable option! But know this, consistency is the key! COMMIT to one a week or one a month, released on the same day each month. (Doesn't matter when you shoot it, RELEASE it on the same day each month so followers know when to watch for it.) You are not going for PERFECTION. Aim for AUTHENTICITY. Kevin's story (and related views) proved it. And last week I shared about my story ... and again YouTube delivered. You get what you put into it, SO START PUTTING! Open to chatting with anyone that has questions! Love ya! Sandi

Summer is a slower event season for me so it is when I push my products. Well, I just through the urls for three products I wanted to push and not only did Claude generate social media posts for me (complete with CTAs) that match each platform but it created a posting schedule for me that doesn't compete with my newsletter postings. I now have content for social media until SEPTEMBER and it took 5 mins!! FOR THE WIN!!! If you haven't done it already, its time to introduce yourself to Claude!

SpeakerFlow (the makers of my CRM) produce this report each year. Thought you might find the stats enlightening. I know I did! Like this quote: "... it points to something the data confirms: being exceptional at your craft and running a sustainable business around it are two completely separate skills."
