2 min readApr 13, 2022
Do you ever see other people speaking on stages, publishing books, being featured in the media, building followings, and booking podcasts left and right and secretly wish that were you? If so, I don’t blame you, because those can be really useful tools to elevate your message, make an impact, and grow your business.
Often, this leads to the next thoughts of:
- How do I go about doing that?
- Which method(s) do I pursue?
- Where do I start?
- How do I break through?
All of the answers to these go back to your goals and strategy. Which align? And for which are you best positioned, based on your skills, presentation preferences, connections, and so on?
Here are six important questions to ask yourself if you wish to become an authority in your space:
- What are my goals and intention(s) for this? Why?
- Which methods help me to achieve those?
- How does this fit into my broader goals?
- What works best for my strengths?
- Do I process better in writing? Conversation? Video? Audio? Over time? On the spot?
- What can I commit to doing consistently?
