Motivational Speaking Jobs
Motivational Speaking Jobs-By James Lloyd
I love my motivational speaking job and the following quote by Daniel Webster says it all.
“If all my talents and powers were to be taken from me by some
inscrutable Providence, and I had my choice of keeping but one, I would
unhesitatingly ask to be allowed to keep the Power of Speaking, for
through it, I would quickly recover all the rest. Helping others to become a motivational speaker and helping others get into a motivational speaking career is our mission in forming this company.
One issue you must resolve as a business speaker is the mystery that I call “The Paradox of Front Rows.” Let me explain. I now live in southern California, and it didn’t take me long to marvel and the staunch Laker fans. During games, I always see the front row seats occupied by the likes of Jack Nicholson and Dyan Cannon, because the cost for those seats is just so out of reach for anyone else. And why not? Your view is at bench-level. You’re nearest the action and the players, and you might, should fortune smile, spend a few unforgettable moments sharing your lap with a hustling, leave-it-on-the-floor, professional basketball player.
Front rows are the place to be. Recently, “The Lion King,” one of the top hits in theater, came to Los Angeles. As a birthday surprise, I bought three VIP tickets for my wife and two daughters at $125 a piece! There were several back-row seats available for that performance for one-fifth that amount. I was willing to pay the higher price, because the value is greater the closer you get.
Yet, you visit a typical motivational speaker presentation anywhere in the United States, and
the first rows are probably empty. The back rows seem to be of greater value. Now,
would this make sense in theater or sports? One valuable skill you must learn is how to fill the front rows and fill the room with your powerful skills as a motivational speaker. By James Lloyd
