Today, I take you behind the scenes of my recent 3-day workshop called Your Million Dollar Message. I share the lessons I’ve learned from hosting over 25 live events over the last five years, the techniques and strategies I’ve tried, and the mistakes I’ve made along my journey. I also explain how offering discounts and free tickets can impact your event, the difference between having a full event room versus a room full of people that are deeply invested in the experience, and how getting over your own insecurities can help you feel more energized after your event has ended.

• Why I eliminated bonus tickets, bring-a-friend pricing, and other reduced-pricing strategies for the Your Million Dollar Message workshop

• How your confidence in your material and your skill as a facilitator impacts your ability to balance information and transformation at your event
• What may be causing your nervous energy before your live event - and how to fix it
