AJ Vassar asks the question...are you overlooking you?

Things have changed!

A statement that we may not have been ready to hear but we all must embrace. The speaking and authors industries have been uprooted by the coronavirus leaving many to question what live events will look like in the weeks, months, and years to come. With this shift, we have to take a hard look at what coaching looked like compared to what it has now become.

The playing field has been leveled for speakers everywhere. Your name is enough to get you on a stage to speak when married to the right strategy, great content, and support. It starts with knowing what your end game is.

How will you gain visibility?
How will you make money?
How will you serve?

AJ shared a hard truth during today's episode that made me pause. "There is a huge difference between education and training. Would you want your teenager to have sex education or sex training?" Right now we have access to not just training in our expertise but access has been given for education. People appreciate your authenticity but when there is room for improvement why not make the change? That education can come from studying the greats or taking a class.

AJ shared some truths about being a speaker on stage.

Anything can happen at times but your strength is in your ability to own who you are.
If you are not willing to study your craft then you don't really want this.
You can't have a new antique. (That is a quote right there!)
Loving the process will take you further.

AJ's final thought was that he was to be in a position to have people stand on his shoulder in order for them to be better than him.
