Find your niche and audience…once you do dig deeper and really narrow in on a very specific group of people, a group that you are meant to serve, one that desperately needs your solution to their very specific problem.

Public Speaking: Are You a Generalist or Specialist?

Some will say Generalist because they “think” they can reach a wider audience hence producing a full schedule and higher income…I disagree.
