Some of the wording is different, and they have a slightly different look.

They said no. Actually they sent a nice email that said, "After a careful review process, we unfortunately aren’t able to include your talk in this year’s program." What I heard was, "no"! Attached you will find 1 of 5 denial/rejection/NO emails that I received THIS MORNING from speaking applications I completed. It happens. Actually I get many more "NO" emails than I do, "YES" emails but that is part of the process. I have 5 today, but another 200+ plus that I could also show you. To be honest, I'm tempted to use this as a teaching moment and share how I bounce back, what I include in my response email, how to handle the rejection and not loose yourself... but I won't. Not today. Today, on behalf of all of my colleagues that like myself are always posting flyers of where we are speaking, recap videos of how great the events are that we attend, and selfies with celebrities and notables in fancy venues... I want to simply show you that we all also get NO EMAILS. I am told NO. Often. All applications we submit are NOT ACCEPTED. Everyone DON'T WANT ME to speak at their event. There are flights we DON'T TAKE and hotels I DON'T GET to check in. Today I'm sharing the otherside of the Speaking, Coaching, Ministry & Marketplace Coin. I and others always show you when we are HEADS up in the game... this is TAILS. Checkback tomorrow for the lesson in it all.

Below is a text message I received yesterday from one of my coaches, Ashley Kirkwood (Speak Your Way To Cash) I thought it was a great idea and wanted to challenge you to join me in running this play: Here’s a strategy to reach back out to prospects or clients who were on the hook to book you, or buy your course, get your book or hire you for coaching. March 2026 follow-up sequence recommendation: - Hour 1 'can we talk today?', - Day 1 'here's your solution', - Day 2 'others choosing us for March results', - Day 3 'Q1 ends in X days.' March prospects need solutions and reasons to act, not education and time to think.

Please let me know what I should change, add, or remove from this speaker sheet.

What if instead of making MORE money only, your goal was to make money FASTER? We are already building our businesses with the idea that we all want to impact lives, help people, package our passion and big ideas, and solve problems of others. That is a given… and all of us are doing that! Congrats!!! What I’m also so excited about is that many of you are also now making more money! Congratulations 🎉 So let’s talk about the elephant in the room…how to hit high 6 figures and break the glass ceiling towards 7 figures OR at least start making more money than you spend monthly. 🤷🏾 Disclaimer: While I am a licensed World Financial Group Financial advisor, I am not a licensed financial investor, banker or money specialist and any financial information is a suggestion and I cannot guarantee any specific financial Gain. That being said, what if earning money wasn’t about the AMOUNT of money you make but instead it was about the SPEED at which you make it. Remember, “Success loves speed!” So consider a goal of simply making money faster than you spend money. If you can earn it 2X faster than you spend it then you are profiting!!!! So ask, how often do you spend money, pay bills, have to swipe your card or have money come out of your account? Then start asking for money, sending invoices, making offers more often than you spend. This is important because if you save all the money you make, the AMOUNT of money you make will eventually become a million dollars worth of money saved… the problem is, it’s going to take 20+ years. So it’s not dollar amount it’s, the pace in which you earn it. We have to earn faster. You have to earn NOW! In March and April, let’s focus less on making more money and focus on making it fast! Then you can use it for philanthropy, buy back your time, provide low-to-no-cost ministry. Mark your calendars on our April 13th Monday call I will share the ways to maximize the money you make so your money can be made, grow and flow faster! Until then, make this PLAY:
