How Does Imposter Syndrome Affect Speakers, and How Can You Overcome It?
Have you ever felt like you don't deserve your accomplishments, despite working hard to achieve them? Or perhaps you've had a nagging feeling that you're not as good as people think you are, and you're just waiting to be exposed as a fraud?
These are just some signs of imposter syndrome, a common phenomenon affecting all kinds of people, including speakers. It's something I've had to get over myself as a business owner, and it might creep up on you if you're starting your speaking journey and not yet an established authority in your niche.
Let's explore imposter syndrome, including how it might affect you as a speaker and, most importantly, how you can overcome it to become a more confident and effective speaker.

6 Ways Speakers Can Make Money Without Charging a Speaking Fee
While building a speaking business is a great opportunity and career path, there's an unavoidable time and work investment to make it a reality.
Only one in a million speakers will give one or two talks and suddenly become a viral sensation commanding tens of thousands of dollars for their speaking services.
