Russ Johnson is quite adept at spelling out what it takes to go from never having spoken anywhere to getting on the path of potentially becoming a $1,000/hour speaker and above, like he has become. (Not bad for a $20 per hour earning "poor" teacher.)I like the way he spells out the practical process in this detailed guide, which gives the readers actual websites they can visit to find paid speaking gigs -- and he doesn't promise "get rich quick" schemes, but guides us through the half-day philosophy of gaining research, doing free speaking engagements, and constantly garnering knowledge that can lead to higher-paying speaking engagement.It's a well laid-out book with great photos and information for people who are ready to get their speaking careers in gear, and ready to hear step-by-step how to do so from a man who has actually and literally been there and done that -- and is doing it well.
