I was talking with a few of our Playmakers on Monday, and they were slightly frustrated as their sales had dropped and they didn't get as many paid speaking engagements as they hoped for in January. I asked the simple question... have you asked anyone if you could speak or if they wanted to buy your services? And have you been working on your business every day? They smirked, and all responded the same... well, I could be doing more. LOL. Couldn't we all? I mean, could we do more to help our businesses get some exposure until they become household names? I've always said, " YOU CANNOT MANAGE WHAT YOU DO NOT MEASURE." DID YOU KNOW? You can manage your activity here in our SKOOL group, not just by the little number by your profile photo. That is a way to measure your likes by others, but not to measure your activity. 1) Click the PROFILE PHOTO of you at the top right 2) Find the Green. The darker the green, the more active you've been 3) View under your profile how many contributions you have made COMMENT BELOW - How many contributions have you made here in SKOOL to date?

By now I’m sure you’ve heard me say… For my coaching program it’s - “Make A Play - You have 24 Hours… playmakers make a play - Playmakers are action takers When I speak it’s - you can Fly - What if you fail, oh but what if you fly That’s what DAY 9 – THE FINAL T: TIP is all about Because by now you’ve already touched hearts. You’ve taught a clear principle. You’ve tossed a call to action. You’ve topped it off with emotion. Now it’s time to leave them with something they’ll carry. 👉 TIP is your brandable exit line. It’s the final sentence people remember, repeat, and associate with you. Think of TIP as: • Your mic-drop moment • Your signature saying • The line they quote when you’re gone Great speakers don’t just end talks; they leave language behind. WHAT MAKES A STRONG TIP: ✔️ Short (1 sentence) ✔️ Clear (no explanation needed) ✔️ Repeatable (easy to say out loud) ✔️ Aligned with your message and mission If people can repeat it, they can remember it. If they remember it, they remember you. 🎯 TODAY’S FINAL CHALLENGE: In the comments, share ONE TIP you’d exit the stage with. Examples: • “Don’t wait for permission—make the play.” • “Delay doesn’t deny destiny.” • “What you practice privately shows up publicly.” Make it YOU. Make it memorable. Make it something you could say every time you speak. Because when the lights go down and the room clears… your TIP keeps talking. ✈️🔥 Well done for flying through the full 5T FLY Talk Framework. Now go use it.

🔥 DAY 8 – THE 4th T: TOP IT OFF 🔥 You’ve touched hearts. You’ve taught a clear principle. You’ve tossed a call to action. Now it’s time to TOP IT OFF. Top It Off is your emotional close. It’s how you leave people feeling something they won’t forget. Facts inform. Frameworks equip. But emotion is what seals the moment. Top It Off is not: ❌ A recap of everything you said ❌ A rushed ending ❌ “In conclusion…” energy 😅 Top It Off is: ✔️ A short story ✔️ A powerful quote ✔️ A visual or metaphor ✔️ A moment that lingers It answers one question: “What do I want them to feel as they leave?” HOW TO TOP IT OFF WELL: Your close should: • Echo your opening (bring it full circle) • Reinforce the core message • Stir emotion—hope, courage, urgency, belief Think of it as the last note of a song. If it’s strong, people carry it with them. 🎯 TODAY’S CHALLENGE: MAKE A PLAY In the comments, share how you would TOP IT OFF. Choose ONE: • A short closing story • A quote you’d end with • A visual/metaphor you’d leave them imagining Keep it brief—but meaningful. Remember: People may forget what you said… but they’ll remember how you made them feel. Tomorrow, we land the plane ✈️🔥

This video was posted in another speakers group I’m in and I know the value of “it’s not always what you say but it’s who says it”, and thought maybe instead of only hearing this from me you could also hear it from someone else… I don’t know either of them personally, … yet 😜 Listen to this, take some notes, gather similarities and differences between what we teach and I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments
