Make Marketing Suck Less for Expertise-Driven Solo Businesses

Change is inevitable for business owners and speakers.

We are bound to change as we learn more about ourselves, more about our clients and more about how we best serve.

The business you built one day may no longer work for you. You changed who you are and there isn't anything wrong with that. Now it's about telling people.

Things have been changing for me and for the Rebel Speaker podcast. Let's talk about it.

How Your Money Mindset Impacts What You Charge with Jen Gresham

You want to get paid to speak, right?

Yet the thought of pricing and negotiating your speaking fees makes you feel uneasy.

You’re not sure what to charge. You don’t know how to negotiate or what to negotiate for. You think “we don’t have a budget” means that you’re not going to get paid at all.

If this is you, you’re going to love our first guest expert interview on The Rebel Speaker.

Our guest expert is Jen Gresham who runs a blog called Everyday Bright, and Jen is truly remarkable. She has a Ph.D. in biochemistry. She spent years in the Air Force, and now she's an executive coach and business strategist. One of her areas of specialty is money mindset.

When I first met Jen, what I loved most about her, was that I could tell she had a very healthy money mindset. She lit up when she talked about money, and that really attracted me to her and her message, and I thought people needed to hear from you.

In this episode (and the transcript below) we are going to dive deep into money mindset issues including:

Why is money mindset so important for speakers
How to set your speaking fee
How to talk to meeting planners so you understand the value your speech creates for them.
A strategy for negotiating a win-win outcome for you and the person who wants to hire you.

Introducing The Rebel Rising Podcast

I am excited to announce to you the beginning of a new era: The Rebel Rising podcast.

Last week, I said goodbye to the Rebel Speaker podcast because I have changed. My business is evolving and the impact that I want to make in this world had changed.

Finally, I am owning my why that communication changes the world. When you and I take a stand and create a vision for a different, better future that’s how we make an impact.

What I know for sure is that we can’t go on that journey alone. This work of making a difference is hard. It’s messy. It takes grit and resilience. Above all else, it takes people doing it together.

So let's start building that community of change making speakers, entrepreneurs, and business owners here today on the Rebel Rising podcast. Let's be there for each other on this journey.

On today’s episode, I am sharing with you:

• My vision for the Rebel Rising podcast • Why we need to rise together as the next generation of thought leader and influencer • Who it’s for (yes, my speaking friend, it is for you) • The four pillars of what it takes to be a rebel on the rise • The Rebel Rising Manifesto (who you and I are becoming together)
