Listen Later

This week, Robert Kennedy, III, speaks with Mike Staver, CSP, CPAE on building a high-performance speaking business. Mike shares insights on his speaker journey and emphasizes the need for speakers to focus on what they have, diagnose the needs of their audience, and face fear head-on. 

In this episode, Mike discusses: 

  • Stop Getting Ready and Start Getting Busy: Move beyond excessive preparation and take action. Many speakers have more than enough to build a world-class business and should focus on doing the work. 
  • Three High-Performing Business Characteristics: Clarity about the problem it solves, a strong sense of purpose, and the ability to diagnose and meet the needs of the economic buyer. 
  • Courageous Decision-Making: The importance of making decisions that align with one's values, even if it means letting go of substantial revenue.
