The process of taking one's services to a national level can feel very hit-and-miss if you've never been down that road before. I appreciated your graciousness both in sharing tips on how to market my topic and in asking me to contribute an article for the next issue of "Sharing Ideas."

Standing Ovations

 "A sponsor Dottie?---Okay, a sponsor." I just ran with that idea and I’ve been a sponsored speaker for over five years and running and more than 50% of my speeches are booked through a handful of corporations that sponsor our message."

-- David Bach, Bestselling author of the multiple best sellers Smart Women Finish Rich, Smart Couples Finish Rich, The Finish Rich Handbook, The Automatic Millionaire

"… my first full year as a paid speaker during which I made a whopping $40,000.
Keep in mind that I left a corporation job making $120,000 plus a company car, plus expenses. In Speak and Grow Rich you made mention that public speakers make in excess of $225,000 per year and I remember thinking to myself 'Yeah, right.' …My wife in all of her infinite wisdom said, 'Why don't you do exactly what the books suggests?' I did. In 1995 my gross bookings were in excess of $700,000."
