I built my business first before my personal brand—eventually that led to becoming an authority to leverage thought leadership and speaking opportunities. I started out free, learned to leverage free into something I could use, then once I had a book, the fee went up-

When the book became a bestseller, I could raise my fees again. Additionally, I invested in a speaking coach over the years like @itssimplyspeech

AND, I put in the work. I don’t have a fee just to have a fee; I take it serious. This is one of my jobs.

And I am about to be UBER transparent because so many ask and I feel like not many talk about it. For Keynotes mine is 15K to 20K. I hope you use that number as motivation. I say it only so you too own your gift. Happy Sunday.
