Episode notes

You’re going to love this interview with Gene Hammett. If you’ve not met Gene before, he’s an absolute wizard at driving business success through speaking.

He’s not a “here’s how to get paid big bucks to speak” guy, instead...he’ll show you how to use speaking to get clients for your business (and you’ll probably make more money than that big name speaker you heard at the last conference).

Plus, I share how I delivered the worst speech of my life and still landed several million in contracts from one speech. If you’re selling high-ticket services, this is worth every penny you paid for this podcast ;-)

In this episode, he reveals his secret to finding and keeping focus in your business. We discuss the real secret to being productive (it’s not what you think).

And Gene shares how to choose which opportunities to invest your time and energy to pursue.
