Okay, so today I am following the amazing example of @Kevin Marius and asking, "How can I help?" To give some background, I have run my speaking and consulting business for 16 years now. It has been my sole source of income for that entire time, paying all my expenses and fuelling business growth so ... If you are new or established, what is the question you would ask of someone like me? This is me paying forward to pay back all of those who encouraged me on my journey, so ask away! I look forward to learning what you are pondering these days. (And please give some context with your question. Are you new or how many years in? Have you tried things and they didn't work? The more info around your question, the more I can help.) Ask away!

Have you ever wondered why speakers make more money than trainers? I used to ask myself the same thing. I shared this on today's call and I want you all to tell you what you think. Why is it that trainers spend so much energy chasing high-ticket clients for a program… Yet one speaking engagement can generate $15K or more in revenue? Here’s the reason: - Speakers change perspectives. - Trainers focus on actions. When you hire a speaker, they don’t just tell you what to do. They shift how you see the world. And once your perspective changes → your actions change. And when your actions change → your results follow. This is true in every area of life: Change the way you view your spouse or kids → your actions toward them change → your relationships grow. Change the way you view your business or career → your actions shift → your results improve. It all starts with perspective. Change your view, change your life.

“You have an accent.” You Can't Speak ! “You can’t lead.” “Stay in your lane.” I heard all of it. But I went ahead and did it anyway. I still deliver my message with my accent because my voice has purpose. Because God gave me something to say. Because the heart behind the message is stronger than the doubts spoken over me. I’ve led teams. I’ve watched people I coached grow into leaders. I’ve stepped into rooms I was told I didn’t belong in. And every time someone tried to keep me in a lane that was too small, I remembered this: I wasn’t called to fit in. I was called to fulfill purpose. And purpose has no lane, it has direction. So if you’ve ever been underestimated, doubted, or boxed in, hear me: Your accent is not a limitation. Your background is not a barrier. Your path is not defined by people who don’t know your calling. Walk in what God gave you. Lead the way God shaped you. And step boldly into the lane He created for you even if it means driving past every expectation others had for your life. Keep going. Someone needs your voice exactly as it is.
