Book More Gigs with Social Media Marketing

Welcome to my Speaking4profit Video Blog:

I want to share with you a person who had a great deal of influence on me. This person’s information really helped me clarify what it takes to be successful in the speaking business.

He is the late “Millionaire Blue prints magazine founder Tom Spinks. In every magazine, he published he always started off with this passage which has served as reminder to me about what it takes to be successful and grow a speaking business.

Tom Spinks said:
“I have always been puzzled by individuals. I have seen amazing people with talent, personality, energy, charisma and great communication skills fail in business. While others, who do not seem to have a clue and who never set goals or dreamed about success, go through life getting one break after the other, I still cannot figure that one out.

You know, there is a billion-dollar industry in america for individuals wanting a better financial life. There is a lot of information about attaining wealth, the proper mindset,
the proper attitude , the proper way to dress, the proper sales presentation, the next great industry, the key to awakening the great power within us and on and on. I think all of these things are good; however, they are not the key. Not even close

I feel this way because throughout my life, my curiosity has led me to countless opportunity seminars, audio and video cassette programs, books, magazines and newspapers articles. My search for financial knowledge is never-ending.

Looking back, I now wonder if all those seminars, books and tapes were detrimental to my success. After reading those books or attending the seminars, I would be fired up until I went out into the real world and had my emotional bubble burst by individuals who did not want my product or service and who could care less how enthusiastic I was.

People need Blueprints to achieve success, just as a builder needs blueprints to build a house. A builder does not go to a seminar so he can get into the right frame of mind, get a positive mental attitude or learn how to dress to build a house. A builder does not have to awaken the giant within him. He just needs specific directions- Blueprint. Whether you’re building a house or building a business you need to know what has works….
