Key Takeaways
- Jeff's path into the speaking business wasn't linear. Learn about his challenges and road blocks along the way.
- It's important to not only be authentic on the stage but also behind the scenes. Having a team can be a great asset, and it's important you're transparent with them. Let them know when you see them doing well but also point out where they could be improving.
- Sustaining a speaking business is more than just about going on stage. There's a lot at work behind the scenes like building up experience and marketing yourself.
- A strategy Jeff gives to have a successful speaking business is reverse engineering everything. Figure out where you want to be and then look at what others did to get there. That is a great source of information and can lead you down the right path.
