Starting a Speaking Business After Losing My Job (Q&A) | Coach Sean Smith
www.coachseansmith.com - Ask Me Anything call from March 21, 2018 -- Sean answers the question "I unexpectedly lost my 6-figure job 4 weeks ago. My business has been essentially dormant for 5 years and my list is stale. By "essentially", I would speak and do events over the last 5 years when people call me, but I did no outreach. Now, I want to make a go at it with a minimum goal of $150K in 2018.
My website is lousy and I don't have a media kit or current one-pager to direct people to. I'm not sure how and where to start calling to get paying gigs, and where to send them for info on me.
I was working in a highly stressful job 70-80 hours a week to the point that I got really sick. Now, I can focus on making money. I view the job loss as an opportunity. I am really excited and have had the least amount stress in close to 10 years!"
