“Look for inspiration, not comparison.”
Brittany Richmond sat down with Dean Heffta today to talk about his speaking journey, the National Speaker Association, and how he built a business to get him booked and paid consistently.
Get back to the basics. Keep it simple. And remember, you don't have to build somebody else's business; you have to build YOUR own business.
In this episode, Brittany and Dean talk through:
"And to sustain innovation and to sustain the hard times and the uncertainties and the ups and the downs, I believe you need a community. Your friend group and your family group will smile and nod as you're sharing things they don't really understand or they can't offer maybe the insights that the people in the speaking community can."
