Why You Need Vision and Strategy as a Speaker

With The Speaker Lab Coaches

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit down with some of our coaches and take a deep dive into some of the hottest topics for speakers? Wonder no more! Our Coaches Corner series gives you actionable advice and practical insights from our coaches that you can use right now to grow your speaking business.

On Episode 406, Maryalice Goldsmith and Nanette Hitchcock took a deep dive into finding your why and how that step is the key to finding success in your speaking business. This week, Maryalice and Nanette are back to take a closer look at the vision and strategy needed to make a successful speaking business.

Your message alone will not lead to sustainable success — your entire business has to be aligned with your overall vision and strategy if you want to succeed as a speaker. You may be surprised to find out that strategy can change, but the destination may remain the same. It takes intentionality, prioritization, and a vision to bring your business to life and support your why.

Maryalice and Nanette are digging deep and will remind you why it takes a gentle balance of hustle and flow to build your business.

Here’s what you’ll learn from this episode:

  • How your vision fuels the why
  • Why strategy can adjust, but a vision needs alignment
  • How to set your goals and establish your vision
  • Why you need strategy to execute your vision
  • The value of the coaching process
  • Clarifying the transformation for your audience
  • And much more!
