1. The number one way to find your next gig is through a process my friend Jaime used to call “stirring the drink.”

Basically, this means, stir the energy of the universe, get out there. Offer to speak everywhere you can.

If you send your speaker outline to 20 places, you may find that the opportunity comes from some other direction. That’s great. That’s how the universe works sometimes.

The important thing is for you to get the ball rolling by putting it out to the universe in the first place.

2. Another great way is through the people you know.

For instance, if I had spoken on a teleseminar series with 10 or 20 other speakers, I would contact those speakers and ask if they wanted to share connections and notes on some of the other places we’ve spoken. That’s an excellent way to get and receive help.

3. The third way is often overlooked. It’s your own list.

Your list is filled with people involved in dozens of groups that need speakers. Put it out there. Ask your list (or a section of it if it’s large) if they know of someone who may be able to use your expertise on their stage or teleseminar.

Then be prepared to receive.

These ideas can get you dozens of leads.

Just stir the drink and watch the universe respond.
