Still making excuses to avoid speaking opportunities? If so, it’s costing you big time without even realizing it. 

In today's episode, we’re going to back the curtain on the steep price you pay when you let fear hold you back from sharing your message. Get ready for an eye-opening breakdown of the costly implications of saying no to speaking engagements.  

You'll discover the 5 critical areas where you miss out every time you shy away from being the booked speaker, from efficiency to revenue to social proof. 

Check out what you’ll learn:

• How to be efficient - Speaking allows you to reach a group of ideal clients at once instead of one by one on social media or through other means.
• Grow your credibility - Event organizers carefully select speakers to provide value to their audience. Being selected as a speaker gives you instant authority.
• Create social proof - Speaking allows you to build social proof before and after the event through social media posts and photos/videos.
• More revenue anyone - You can generate income directly through speaking fees and also through back-end sales to audience members who want to hire you after seeing you speak. Speaking leads to "spinoff business".
• Stop wasting time - The longer you wait and make excuses, the more you are delaying your impact. Speaking allows you to make a bigger impact in less time.

If you feel called to take the stage but continue to hesitate, this episode is an urgent wake-up call and a roadmap for getting past the excuses to boldly say YES.
