4 SIMPLE STEPS TO BECOMING A PUBLIC SPEAKER

Here are 4 simple, proven, and powerful steps that will help you become a public speaker:

1) START WHERE YOU ARE
Start when you are. If there are people in your area that are interested in hearing what you have to say, then start with them.


2) PICK A SUBJECT THAT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT
Pick something that you think is important to you. You must really care about the subject and speak from the heart. Think through the subjects that have had an inordinate impact on you. These are subjects that you would like to share with others because you really, intensely feel that others could benefit from your knowledge.

3) OFFER FREE SPEECHES OR SMALL WORKSHOPS
Start offering speeches on your expertise to people within your circle. Offer them at no charge. There was a basic rule, many years ago that said: “Before you can be paid to speak you have to have given 300 free talks.” Some people say 100 talks and some people say they have given 500 talks, but keep offering free talks on a subject that you really care about and that you’re an expert on.

4) GET PAID TO SPEAK
Eventually, someone will enjoy your speech so much they will ask you, “How much do you charge to give that talk?.” And that will mark the starting point of your career!
