So You Want to Become a Motivational Speaker: Getting Your Career Ready

To start your speaking career, here are some things you have to know and do:
  • become a speechwriter or know how to get speeches written for you if you don't want to write them yourself;

  • know the legal aspects of using information from other people's books or courses in your own;

  • turn your skills, interests, and knowledge into speaking and seminar topics;

  • establish your credibility as an expert (it's easier than you may think);

  • learn about which Audiences that will pay you to speak;

  • how to be seen as a pro even if you are a beginner;

  • copyright the material you present; and

  • understanding your competition
Let me recommend to former speaker who has helped thousands of individuals launch and grow their careers as speakers, seminar presenters, and adult educators. As owner of a national seminar company for nearly 5 years, Tag Goulet created and managed many seminars, and hired many speakers.

Tag, herself, has spoken before hundreds of thousands of people in 24 cities over the past 15 years. She has presented seminars for three seminar companies, taught continuing education classes, given training programs for corporations, and been hired to speak at conferences.

I strongly recommend that you get her career guide if you're serious about getting your speaking career off to a super start.
