When it comes to getting more stages or getting more clients, automations will have to be a part of what you do if you want to scale and keep your sanity. Want to give something to your whole audience? Automate it. Want to pitch yourself to more stages? Automate it. Want to deliver the courses you're selling? Automate it @Richard Hickman will show you how during his training calls every other Thursday for our podcast guests.

There is a proven 10 - Step formula that allows you to 1.share your story in a way that changes the story for your audience, 2. Speak authentically from the heard 3. Realistically help the person listening to you. 4. Allows you to speak on any stage without notes. 5. Can be flexed to any time frame. I've written a guidebook to help you put your message into the 10 steps. If you need it, you can find it at MarianneHickman.com (see screenshot below)
