Quotes:

“It’s not no forever. It’s maybe just not no right now because now that they know you and you have a good relationship with them and maybe you like sent them your book in the mail with a personal note once they are ready because they know of you that no can turn into a yes.” (05:48)

“No, that is one of my biggest pet peeves. Whenever I get on a discovery call with someone and they say, I say what is your industry? What’s your particular niche? And they’ll say, oh, I can speak to any and everyone. That’s a good thing about me. And I’m like, okay, that’s the opposite of a good thing actually because the riches are in the niches if you want to be seen as an expert, just like my dad is seen in the electric industry as a safety expert. He’s their go to expert. He had to work a long time to get there. I’ve had to work over 30 years to become an expert on find paid speaking engagements. It wasn’t an overnight thing and I didn’t stray from this topic.” (07:26)

“The audience will remember the stories because they get those feelings. If it’s a happy story, sad story, scary story, they remember those feelings way more than the actual information you’re sharing.” (10:20)
