Back in 1996, my first year as a full-time Professional Speaker, the BIG LIE was everywhere, and I bought into it. Thats why I lost $50,000 my first year. In 1997, I attended the Bill Gove Speech Workshop, and Bill Gove told me the truth. He gently explained that I had been duped by marketing charlatans who were getting rich from spreading the BIG LIE. I was furious, but I chalked it up to inexperience and moved on. I joined the National Speakers Association that same year and heard the BIG LIE over and over again, except this time, I ignored it. Bill Gove, the 85-year old father of professional speaking, was guiding every move I made, and by following his advice, I earned $182,000 my second year in the business. Over the next 23 years, I earned millions in speaking fees…all because I was mentored by a man who protected me from the unethical marketers getting rich by pandering the biggest lie in the business.
