I read an article the other day about a "secret" portage route used by Indigenous people in my province at least 1000 years ago. 

The narrow path cut through the deep woods and allowed them to save a lot of time and avoid dangerous ocean travel to get to the United States.  It's mostly grown-over now, but there's a campaign happening to clear the original route for history's sake. 

That shortcut was an ingenious move by the Indigenous people. 

I'm all for being creative and saving time, and that's the approach that I've taken with my business. 

I'm constantly connecting with successful people who've done something that I'd like to do. Why wouldn't you take advantage of the wealth of knowledge online and save yourself a lot of time, money and frustration? 

For example, I got bit by the speaking bug after I spoke at Social Media Marketing World in San Diego, and met Manny Wolfe while I was down there. I now have three more speaking gigs coming up, and I have to thank Manny for his guidance (I'll be speaking at his 1000 Speakers Event this fall too).

Since a lot of people in my world would like to get booked for more speaking gigs, and I know Manny is "the  man" in that world, I've asked him to put on a training to help aspiring speakers. 

It's called The Proven Way To Deliver A Killer Speech And Get Booked, and it's happening this Tuesday, May 8th at 6 pm EST. In it, Manny will be sharing: 

- The missing secret to making sure that you’re telling a powerful, compelling story.
- The principles of stagecraft that guarantee that you’ll be able to look like a rockstar on stage.
- The proven system for getting all the speaking engagements you can handle
