Quite often, you and you alone have to do everything. There are always bill to pay and fires to put out. Most of us know firsthand the awful feeling that we're caught in an awful rut of spending more time managing the business than presenting on the platform.

Successful speakers have systems in place.
They know where to find the right piece of paper at the right time. They know where they must be tomorrow, new week, next month and next year. They focus on developing new business and delivering quality programs. They stay booked and command the highest fees. They realize that their time is too precious to waste searching through piles for contracts and agreements and promotional materials.
