RESOURCES FOR ASPIRING SPEAKERS
I created this resources page to help you with deciding what tools, services, and sites to go to and use. I personally know how stressful and frustrating it is to make a choice on what to use or read on your journey to being a professional speaker. With all the resource and services available now a days, it’s real easy to get overwhelmed. Hopefully this page will ease your mind a bit.
There is one thing I will promise…NOTHING WILL BE POSTED ON THIS SITE THAT I HAVE NOT VETTED OR USED!
I’ll be adding more to it as I learn and test out new things. In future posts I will reference this page quite often, so I recommend bookmarking it for your own personal reference and convenience. Thanks!
BOOKS:
If you look at nothing else on this page, these are the five that you should know about. I find myself recommending these resources again and again, in emails and on podcasts. I use them because they make my life and business easier, and I’m confident you’ll agree too.
