There’s somebody waiting to hear YOUR message from YOU.   Today's featured bestselling author is award-winning speaker, entrepreneur and the Founder of the Black Speakers Network, Brian J. Olds. Brian and I talk about what led him to start the Black Speakers Network, why you should provide a product before perfecting it and tons more!   Key Takeaways:   Tap into the collective power of collaboration.   You can make money today. You don’t have to wait until you put 10,000 hours of work into your mastering your craft.   My 1st product was a $5 PDF that generated over $1,000.   Learn to launch a product that’s good enough to sell while everyone else is trying to think about and create a perfect product.   With deep focus and discipline, you can create and launch a product quickly.   Get feedback with small products and improve and build upon that feedback with the next product release. Think about the 1st iPhone compared to now.   Even though a Tuesday morning might be statistically the best day to launch a new product, people may not always buy it when they 1st see it.   Opportunities are readily available to those who take action.   Know your message as a speaker before trying to monetize your gifts, skills, and talents more effectively.   Brian's Site: https://www.blackspeakersnetwork.com/brianolds Brian's Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1798130661/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0       Related Episodes:   Episode 14 - "Reach Your Mountaintop" with Jeff Davis = http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-14-jeff-davis-jeffdavis027   Episode 16 - "Mission Unstoppable" with Haki "Shakur" Ammi = http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-16-mission-unstoppable-with-haki-shakur-ammi   Episode 49 - "Serve Yourself to Greatness" with Reginald Gant = http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/49-serve-yourself-to-greatness-with-reginald-gant-reggieserves   Episode 119 - "A Passion for High Performance & Professional Development" with Dr. Elizabeth Carter, DTM = http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/119-a-passion-for-high-performance-professional-development-with-dr-elizabeth-carter-eacaappeal   The opening track is titled, "SFEX x ATCQ" by madxruler (formally known as Ruler Inc.)
