The number one statement I hear when working with thought leaders is "I just want to be in my zone of genius".And it makes sense, right? You became an expert in your field because you love it and can make a difference - probably not because you're excited about the actual business operations.But there's a problem. In order to truly turn your expertise into a business, you have to RUN A BUSINESS. Your expertise and ability to create value, alone, won't cut it.You have to do stuff like: - Manage relationships at scale (sales-oriented and otherwise) - Deal with admin work like invoicing and agreements - Manage internal projects for clients, marketing campaigns, content development, etc - Lead employees and contractors to do things that aren't the best use of YOUR timeThe list goes on and on. And you're supposed to just inherently know how to do all of this AND do it well/efficiently? To be blunt - that's totally unrealistic.So what are we supposed to do about it?Like many of the other best things in life, the answer is actually pretty simple: create systems (a system is when people, technology, and processes converge) that standardize, streamline, and automate as much of it as possible.This is what we do at SpeakerFlow. Here's how we do it👉 A custom set of tech tools to run every aspect of your business👉 A white glove and battle-tested implementation process that takes you from zero to hero👉 Ongoing training focused on behavior and not button-clicking👉 A community of hundreds of other users and expert-business owners to learn from👉 A team of experts to support you at every turn😁 A Good Time Doing ItIf you're an entrepreneur that leverages the stage to either generate revenue or leads, we should talk. We're talking about keynoters, coaches, consultants, authors, podcasters, and more.About Me, Specifically:👉 I'm a tech geek and have spent my career working within the SaaS and thought-leadership industries. My experience helping professional speakers implement CRM and sales strategy is a big part of what led to the creation of SpeakerFlow. My day-to-day is focused on creating awesome experiences for our clients and managing our growing team.👉 On a personal note, I like spending my free time exploring the beautiful Rockies with my amazing wife and our beautiful daughter. I also like drinking a hoppy IPA, playing golf (and just generally doing physical things), and absorbing knowledge wherever it can be found (Audible, YouTube, and I have a healthy relationship).
