One of the biggest challenges that aspiring and professional speakers alike face is indeed to get paid – or to even get paid according to their worth. More often than not, speakers offer their services for free, or almost free, while growing their portfolio.

But what if there is a way to get speaking gigs and get paid ALL THE TIME? Julie Austin of speakersponsor.com talks about speaker sponsorship in today’s podcast episode. Here are a few highlights!

• Julie shares her background as an inventor and a speaker at 03:10 and the fact that she has never spoken for free, EVER!
• 07:25 into the podcast, Julie talks about SpeakerSponsor.com and how she got started getting paid through sponsorship.
• Based on what Julie shared, is all sounds easy. But in reality, how do you get a sponsor to say, “Yes. We’re on board with you.” What is it that sponsors want that will allow them to say yes to you? She answers this beginning at 10:10 in our conversation.
• In 14:54, we share with you what are the two things you need to do today, in order to utilize speaker sponsorship.

Many of us allow obstacles to get in our way and keep us from our dreams.  Not Nancy!!

Inspired to bring, motivational Wayne Dyer to her hometown in 1990, she used a rusty Ford station wagon as collateral for a loan and then contacted Wayne's office.  She was told NO 6 times.  She started selling tickets anyway and finally wrote a heartfelt letter to Dr. Dyer.  He finally said yes and she filled a 2500-seat auditorium to capacity.

Since then, Nancy has booked an impressive slate of speakers including, Jack Canfield, Linda Larsen, Willie Jolley, Marianne Williamson and Les Brown to name a few.
