This is the marketing system I used to build a seven-figure speaking business during the 9/11 attacks. Imagine generating over 300 leads for speeches, training, coaching and consulting dates after delivering one 10-minute speech to a group of referral agents. On October 15-17, 2010 we’re going to host the last meeting of the year of the Siebold Success Network. The deadline to speak at this event is this Sunday, August 15 at midnight.

I just spent 2-days with 20 of the wealthiest professional speakers in the world. The meeting was held at the National Speakers Association Convention in Orlando. NSA has created a new, invitation-only group called the Million-Dollar Round Table. Each applicant had to submit financial statements to prove they had billed over a million dollars in speaking revenue in 2009. Only 21 speakers qualified, and I was honored to be one of them. All of us spoke during the 2-days, and it was amazing to hear the ideas from all of these brilliant speakers.

One of the fastest ways to catapult your public speaking career is to be interviewed on national television. Last year I was on the Today Show, Good Morning America, FOX, ABC News, NBC, CBS, and a bunch of others. I can tell you from experience this is one the best things you can do for your career. In this short 3-minute video post, I share some of the most important tips for succeeding in this medium.

If you could achieve your ultimate vision as a professional public speaker, what would it look like? Would you be speaking at Microsoft’s national convention with Bill Gates in the front row? How about being the opening keynote at a convention with 20,000 people in Madison Square Garden? Whatever your dream is, make sure your business plan is getting you closer each day. I’m in the middle of a 5-city, cross country speaking tour, and this video post is from beautiful San Francisco. Don’t be a speaker who settles for whatever this business hands you.
