Important things take time
Running your own events as a speaker is a big step up from being a guest speaker, but there are a few crucial things that are really important . One of these is consistency. There is a lot of things to get right to run a good event and it takes time to get everything nailed and unless you have a lot of experience on stage you will have lots of snags starting out. But remember you never fail until you give up so give yourself a fighting chance. Don’t organise 1 event. Plan a dozen or more before you expect to “nail it” and aim to make each one better than the last.
