Hi Katja, Speaking is really a full-time job, like being an actor. But I do think the effort you put into it is worth it. If it's really what you want to do, go for it!

I'm not an accountant, but I would think business expenses are a tax write off.

I also come in 2 days early. Several times it's worked in my favor, even if it eats into my costs.

Hi Myles, I have a 4 hour course that teaches speakers how to create opportunities with sponsorship partners. It's way too much information to give you a short one sentence reply to. But very unique material that took me 20 years of trial and error to figure out. Sponsorship webinar

I love it, Gabriel!
