“A Proven System for Attracting More Clients Through Speaking Engagements”by Nancy Gaines, Gain Advantages, Inc.Do you want to grow your business and serve more people quickly? Speaking is the key to reaching a broader audience, impacting more lives, and attracting more clients. The real, person-to-person connection that happens when you speak lets people see your expertise and passion for what you offer. Speaking dramatically compresses the sales cycle, so it takes less time to obtain more clients. Nancy Gaines has been advising small businesses and Fortune 100 companies how to increase revenues through proven systems for almost two decades. She is a best-selling author, international keynote speaker, and global podcast host. Her passion is compressing the time it takes for entrepreneurs to get profitable. One of Nancy’s super powers is systemizing travel perks. After flying over 2 million airline miles, she learned a thing or two about rewards. Ask her on the break how to double dip on all of your travel so you get more perks in less time.

“Using the Law of Attraction to Increase Business Results” by Jonathan ManskeWhen people want to do better, typically the first thing they look at is what they are doing, the strategies and tactics. However, oftentimes the key to doing better lies in mindset and beliefs. It is literally impossible to do better than our thinking will allow.

For most people, upgrading their thinking, beliefs, and mindset is the missing key to creating the breakthrough they want.Jonathan is the World’s Only Cerebral Sanitation Engineer.
