I don't think I introduced myself when I joined, but if I did, please forgive me. I am 74, married for 53 magnificent and terrible years to my beloved, and 6 years ago I felt moved to write a book on relationships, since we have pretty much been there and done that and there is so much pain and unhappiness out there in the people who haven't learned from the mistakes we made and corrected to arrive at the amazing place we are today. I started and said, how can I focus on exactly what to say and how to say it, and serendipity stepped in, I heard about Quora.com, where I have been sharing my voice for the past 6 years - to the tune of 22,000+ answers, 29+million views and so many compliments, upvotes and comments (even from professional psychologists which I am not). Please check me out on Quora.com, and if you have any questions about love, marriage, relationship, life, grief, gardening or cats, I may already have answered it or them.

There is no magic to it. “Who you know” gets you ONE paid gig per year It’s the relentless follow up, chasing, showing value, showing up, learning, growing, improving that builds your speaking business. @Christina Daves had a great question. How do you actually get high paid gigs? (See image) Every speaker I’ve met making $15,000+ per event is a savage at meeting people. Quick story. A few years back, I was at a marketing conference and the speaker (who wasn’t that great) shared how he got on the stage. He found the event planner’s image online and created a comic strip featuring that person and built an entirely custom website around it featuring that person. They ate it up. That’s the lengths you need to go to get on your dream stage. Btw. 3 people signed up for the new booking agency service. 2 more spots are probably gone today. My team and I will handle all the grunt work: finding conferences, leads, email setup, outreach, follow up so all YOU have to do is show up. DM me if you want more details on the program. Only 7 slots left
