In this video I talk about securing the gig first and the power it leads to your growth and visibility.

Book the gig first and prepare next. Generate the deadline and this way you have the goal with the finish line. When you get a speaking opportunity it does not happen that fast as the gig that you booked will usually take place two to six months in the future (giving you plenty of time to rehearse).
Preparation is not about being 100% prepared. Having to be 100% prepared can lead to procrastination and this delay is a detriment of the movement for things happening for you. Just get it done.
YES Energy. Say YES and commit and then go figure it out. It moves things in your favor and aligns things for you. Once you make the decision, you will commit and do the action.

Show Highlights

Watch this video as I list the biggest myths about speaking.

Let me know which one of these myths resonates with you the most?

You can't make money speaking for free.
- Not true as that's the primary way I use to build my business.
People care about the content the most.
- Speakers resonate and connect with the audience. It's not just about the content, it's also about the vulnerability, connecting to the humanness and more.
Be 100% prepared before getting the gig.
- You don't have to have your entire talk spelled out. Get the gig, then get prepared.
You have to be an extrovert.
- I'm more of an introvert and I was able to become a stellar speaker. It's okay to be you. You can practice elevating your energy.
It's so hard to get a gig.
- There are tons of people looking for speakers. If you declare that you are a speaker and open yourself up to it, the opportunities will come. Start with a few of them and more will come your way.

Learning to live her truth was born out of living an inauthentic life...

Inauthentic because on the outside everything looked perfect. But something just wasn’t right and she was sad and unhappy. It was here that her magical life took a drastic turn.

She started doing the work, and found that what was keeping her stuck in her marriage, her friendships, as a parent, and in her career, was...HER. She realized that she had been playing it safe and living most of her life on the porch; people pleasing, searching for perfection, and making herself smaller so no one would leave her on the porch again. And then it happened. She decided that life as she knew it was no longer the life she wanted, and definitely not the life she wanted to model for her children. She went deep and faced her biggest fears, and now she helps others live their best authentic life.

In her first published book, she shares her own Getting Off the Porch journey. She is a featured author in “The Wisdom of Midlife Women 2”, #1 Amazon Bestseller in Personal Transformation & Spirituality.

Before Mara became an inspirational figure for women who own their own business - or want to - she was an overweight bullied grade school reject (whose teachers told her “You will never be successful!”). Now she is a successful woman working for herself and getting what she wants in life, AND she wants you to know that no matter your circumstance, if she can do it, and you are willing to do the work, you can do it too!

Mara is your reality check in a world where many falsely claim that being a business owner doing something you are passionate about is easy, and you can become wealthy working just a few short hours a week (though she does believe that it can become “easier” with the right guidance and know-how).

Now Mara shares the TRUTH about being a woman working for yourself (and the very best marketing and sales strategies for growing a business you love – without sacrificing your life). She is also the co-owner of Sales That Don’t Suck and co-leads the 3 Days To 10k Retreats with her business partner, Erica Martin.
