Speaking Business podcast Maria Franzoni

How to transition from low paid entertainer to highly paid keynote 
Tim David dropped out of university to become a professional magician.  When 300 dates a year became too much, he turned his sights to the speaking world so he could work less, earn more, and help people in the process.
His success in the speaking and publishing industries speaks for itself, which is why thousands of speakers from around the globe seek him out for advice on how to get speaking gigs and grow their following.
He's the founder of GetSpeakingGigs.com and the host of the Next Stage Speaking Summit - at which I was a guest presenter this year.
If you're looking to transition into the speaking world or just starting out with your speaking business, Tim has some great advice.
