There's so much to know when you choose to make yourself
major speaking or training presence in your market. So,
best I can do in this space is deliver what-to guidance. Think of this as a General Session, rather than a seminar! Picture yourself as
Campbell's of canned soups,
Kellogg's of corn flakes,
Heinz of ketchup,
Sony of consumer electronics,
Peter Drucker of management consulting, or
Alvin Toffler of futurists. You're definitely King of
Hill. You're
#1 choice in your field. It's worth noting here that as an expert who speaks, when you deliver desired outcomes to major entities, you can justify very high fees.
Observe that these examples are finite. They are big names in their niche, only in their niche. You'd be mighty suspicious if you saw a can of Sony soup on
shelf, or Peter Drucker salad dressing. (Yet, you would go for Newman's Own Salad Dressings because Paul Newman invested years in cultivating a presence in food markets!)
What's
point here? You, by
relentless pursuit of excellence in your service to your chosen market, can make yourself
dominant player in
game. Within one market, rarely more than one market. (You can't have your backside on more than one horse at a time!)
So, how do you make yourself
major speaking raining presence in your market? Let's look at this question:
1. Make yourself an expert, first. Then a world-class expert. Then,
world expert: Naturally, you cannot fake expertise. You got it or you don't. Therefore you do what is appropriate to become
master of your topic. How to do this is revealed in depth in my Speaking Strategy Report #1, Positioning Magic. ( Speaking Success System owners have this in Vol. 2, VIII.) Readers can get this from

2. Along
way, start to write articles: If you're not already a fine writer of commercial prose, go to and open to

3. Now, master your Inner Game: When you commit to make yourself
major presence in your market, one inescapable truth surfaces. You simply must be
master of your Inner Game! Here's how to do it:
Tennis champion, Tim Galloway, first wrote The Inner Game of Tennis. In this book, he discusses
4 attitudes of
Inner Game concept. They are self-esteem, self- image, self-confidence, and self-discipline.
As a successful tennis coach, he taught these attitudes to aspiring tennis players. With some tennis skills, as well as these attitudes, aspirants went on to transform themselves into wonderful tennis players.
Tim then looked into
game of golf. After due diligence and testing, he proceeded to write The Inner Game of Golf.
After proving
concepts valid in that game, he investigated what makes a salesperson outstanding. Soon after, he wrote The Inner Game of Selling.
It seems that when you have high self-esteem, self-image, self-confidence, and self-discipline, you can make yourself a champion at anything. This includes
business of speaking.
Here are ideas you can engage to master your inner game:
3.1 Accept your uniqueness. You are one-of-a-kind. You have magnificence inside you, longing and yearning to be released. Only by allowing your unique magnificence to flourish and serve others can you fulfill your purpose in this life.
3.2 Set meaningful goals for yourself. Determine specific actions to realize those goals. Then, relentlessly take those actions. Your actions are to move you toward
achievement of your mission.
