MM #92: Your Speaking Process

How Did These Coaches Set Up Their Businesses So Quickly?

You can save yourself the hundreds or thousands of dollars you may have paid a mentor coach or training school. After personally mentoring sixty coaches and founding a coach training school, I've compiled everything I know about starting a successful coaching practice in one easy-to-follow Manual.

And it's wonderful to see such huge results like this:

"I can't think of a better investment or more profitable long term step for an aspiring coach to take other than purchase and devour the CoachStart Manual. I used this guide as my Bible when commencing my coaching business and my first 12 months generated revenues over 6 figures....well in excess of my plans and expectations. For a fast start to your business I strongly recommend its use, you'll gain confidence and turn your dreams into reality."

"I've already recouped the costs of the First Fifty Clients and the CoachStart Manual in coaching fees in 3 weeks."

2. FEATURE: Create Your Speaking Process

Here's a simple process to print and post up on your wall. Add some deadline dates too:

1) Pick a sexy sounding topic that you care about.

(Hint: solve a key problem for people)



2) Pick four key tips or solutions around that topic.



3) Draft an outline for your speech.

(Hint: powerpoint is a simple way to keep you on track, but don't put your whole speech on it, just bullet points)



4) SET A DATE and invite your friends to hear your speech - before you even have it ready.



(Hint: they'll give you written testimonials at the end, and verbal suggestions to improve it)



5) Put together an impressive looking bio with picture of you.



6) Join the National Speakers Association and go along to local meetings.



(Hint: find out who fields requests for speakers, and let them know you'll handle any free request to speak, just for the experience)



7) Call your local public service groups (e.g. Rotary, Zonta), and get on their roster.



(Hint: negotiate in advance a testimonial letter from every single speech. You'll sometimes get an offer of a paid speech out of your free speeches.)



8) After 3 speeches, quote a $200 or $500 fee per speech.



(Hint: if people baulk, you can always drop your price)
