I'm curious to hear everyone's story. Was it a specific moment or gradual realization?

Yes. Eleven. That alone tells you everything you need to know about why I only do one big event per quarter. I did not realize how much this event was sitting in my body until it was over. The sleep was my body saying, thank you, we can exhale now. So let me tell you what happened and the strategy behind it, because this was very intentional. Here is the play-by-play: 1. I connected with a foundation owner on LinkedIn. She runs a literacy foundation, which is my area of expertise in education, and an animation studio that creates incredible literacy videos on YouTube, helping kids become readers and authors. She is also an author herself. I knew I wanted to get into her world and get close enough to build trust and work with her in some capacity! So I got on a call with her, and this is what happened! 2. I sold her a low-priced workshop for educators on how to Burn Bright, Not Out. $150 total for a thirty-minute talk and a thirty-minute Q&A. Yes, a thirty-minute talk about my own products stressed me out! I can talk about other people's content and tell my story all day, but this?! Why did I charge so little? Because this was not about maximizing revenue at this first step. It was about a relationship entry. I wanted to show value, alignment, and how I think. 3. On that call, I told her about who I was and what I did/do now. I told her I would follow up our conversation with an email with all of the info. I offered her bulk pricing on all of my products, and she picked the Illuminate journal. So I sold her 210 yellow (the color I had the most overstock in) illuminate mental health journals. They were delivered directly to her people’s homes as a Christmas gift. Yes. Two hundred and ten. 4. On Thursday evening, I delivered the virtual talk. We focused on burnout, energy, and exactly how to use the journal to help them avoid burnout. I also did a live walkthrough of the journal for the first time. It felt so good to explain my product! BTW - This is another benefit of booking that first speaking gig! Now I know I will be recording short walkthrough videos for every product and linking them via QR codes on my landing pages, quoted in the product, social media, and YouTube.
