However, many women are getting into crypto trade from the comfort of their own home. It is one of the reliable investment opportunities.

Sample Fee Schedule for Christian Women?s Speakers

I think all new speakers are trying to figure out this money thing! How much is it right to charge? And when do you start to move up the fee chain? I'm in the middle of Continue Reading

Do You Truly Think of Yourself as a Speaker or a Writer?

In his book You Are a Writer, Jeff Goins says, Believe that you already are what you want to be, and then start acting like it. I devoured his book this weekend, along with a bunch of other resources on how to grow your entrepreneurial dream.

Are Speaking Opportunities Drying Up?

I've just returned from speaking at Breakforth, one of Canada's largest Christian conferences. It was a wonderful weekend with amazing speakers and great special music, and definitely worth attending. But three years when I spoke there my average audience was about 400 over 3 talks.
