How To Get Sponsorships and Get Paid as a Keynote Speaker!
In this episode of The Media Host Maker Show, I delve into how I managed to secure major sponsors for my live entrepreneur panel presentations. How did I achieve this? Primarily for two main reasons:
Grow Their Business
Build Their Membership
Each organization that hired me aimed to grow their membership. I accomplished this by creating something powerful. In my case, it involved working with the incredible entrepreneurs from Shark Tank and presenting them to live audiences across the United States in support of my book. I produced my multimedia book, Conversations With Shark Tank Winners, featuring audio, video, and written segments with 14 of the business owners featured on the Emmy Award-winning show on ABC TV. These successful organizations sponsored me, and I embarked on an extensive tour across the United States, speaking in front of sizeable crowds and providing powerful takeaways they could use to help their businesses.
If you want to get paid a good salary as a speaker, have all of your hotels, flights, meals, and promotions—both in print and online, with a total value of over six figures—covered for you, and be the center of attraction as the mainstage keynote featured speaker, then pay close attention to this program!

You Define and Control Your Goals!
New episode of my Media Host Maker Show!
Goals are a very important part of your roadmap to success. If you talk to anyone who has been successful in their business, personal life, or completing any project, goals are the roadmap that helped them succeed and kept them on course. It is the new year 2025, and everyone is excited about the prospects of a great year. That is wonderful, get your notebooks out and complete your list of big-time goals for the year. However, keep in mind the following words of advice.
You Define and Control Your Goals! Your Goals don't Control and Define You!!! This may seem like common sense, yet I have known a lot of people, including myself, to stubbornly cling to goals that no longer serve their purpose, and get in the way of progress and success! You are like an airline captain, flying his or her plane, always on the alert for strong crosswinds that could take the plane off course. They program their flight plan in the planes onboard navigating system, and double check the flight procedures before takeoff. Ultimately, they are in total control of the situation, regardless of the flight plan. You must be able to do the same. I have the control to alter any goal, schedule or activity if I need to, according to my current circumstances. No exceptions! This has helped me well over the years, and it led me to accomplishing some wonderful milestones for my media career.
Key topics in this episode are: KISS-KEEP IT SIMPLE SUPERSTAR.KEEP YOUR LIST TO 3 - 4 GOALS.THE AIR FLIGHT PLAN EXAMPLE.URGENT VS. IMPORTANT.APOLLO 13- CAPTAIN JIM LOVELL.FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.

How to Get Sponsorships and Paid as a Speaker
We have all heard that we need to network, yet how many of us consistently do it? It can be easy to fall into the trap of just doing it all online, especially after the pandemic changed how we do business.
I have found in my situation, the best networking I have done has been in person, and it was that one business owner I met that propelled me into the spotlight! However, I failed to have a strong online presence, and when the pandemic struck and shut everything down, all of my speaking engagements were cancelled—two years' worth!!!
I learned a valuable and expensive lesson; I needed both an in-person and online networking strategy! I'll talk more about the pandemic in full in a future segment of the show.
Here are some key topics in this episode:
- The Yoga Expo - 100 interviews!
- Reaching out to organizations.
- Santa Monica Junior College.
- A Shark Tank-type panel???
- Networked in person.
These topics and more I will talk about in my latest segment of my Media Host Maker Show!
