Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this for "new" or "experienced" motivational speakers?
A Motivational Speaking Academy™ membership is perfect for people of all experience and skill levels. Each week's lesson is broken down into manageable steps for easy application. There are also "advanced" insights that seasoned veterans will find advantageous in putting into practice. In fact, this speaker training program is ideal for anyone who has struggled to find success in starting a motivational speaking business and who would like to build (or rebuild) their practice in a way that will position them for long-term career abundance.
Not only does Motivational Speaking Academy have the tools to help create success for complete beginners, but it also provides speaker training that is geared toward helping those who need a fresh start to acquire increased marketplace presence.

2. Are there any "hidden costs" in addition to my membership fees?
The answer is unequivocally NO. We don’t have hidden agendas to up-sell our members on other training materials, seminars, or unannounced packages. Professional speaking, if done correctly, is an incredibly affordable business model for beginners and seasoned speakers alike.

3. Does my membership include personal coaching on becoming an inspirational speaker?
Unfortunately, the answer is "no". While I will always be available to handle support requests (i.e. I can't download this week's lesson) I simply don't have the time to personally coach 1,000 members. Even if every member just asked ONE question (even a simple question) it would be impossible to handle all of the requests of an online speaker school of this size and scope.

4. What if I’m a complete beginner? How can I come up with a profitable, in-demand topic for becoming a motivational speaker?
I actually answer this in the early part of the training series. So, in order to not offend paying members for letting out free information on how to become a motivational speaker, please join and read the lessons. :-)

5. Do I have to commit to the entire 6 months?
Of course not. While we don't think you'll want to do so, you may cancel anytime you want. You may either email me through the Contact Us link or Clickbank.com directly for a prompt and courteous cancellation. Like I said, I don't think you'll want to do so after diving in to the speaker training! As stated, we also offer a full money back guarantee for the first eight weeks. After 8 weeks of training you won’t be eligible for a refund, but you won’t be obligated to continue paying for the course until the end of the six month training period either.

6. How quickly can I have a motivational speaking business active and making money?
That will depend entirely upon you. Someone with experience can literally have themselves up and running within the first week  after reading the very first lesson. A complete beginner with virtually no history with public speaking jobs can have everything in place after the first five lessons (I explain every step of the process in step-by-step chunks during the introductory month.) Most people are somewhere in the middle. So, the answer truly is one week to six months, depending upon your experience and your pace of deliberation, action and progress.

7. On what day of the week will I receive my weekly emails?
There isn't a set "day" of the week when lessons will arrive to your inbox. The auto-responder is setup to send out your lesson approximately every 7 days (sometimes there is a 24-48 hour difference in delivery, but you'll always receive a lesson each week). Please allow a full 24 hours for the first lesson to arrive in your inbox. After that they will arrive weekly (or very close to weekly) without fail. Once again, if you aren’t properly receiving your weekly or introductory lesson, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at:
