Named one of the top small business experts to watch in 2018 and the founder of one of the top websites for solopreneurs in 2020, Jessica Rasdall is helping small business owners scale their impact and income through tried-and-tested communication strategies. As a best-selling author, motivational speaker, and host of The Speak to Scale Podcast, Jessica partners with small business owners to help them scale their business (and impact) from the stage. Jessica has shared her story of turning her “mess into a message” for 15 years and has been featured on major international media outlets such as ABC's 20/20, Katie Couric, The Guardian, MTV, Netflix, and many more. Today, Jessica is fiercely dedicated to helping small business owners craft presentations and speaking strategies that connect with their audience and scale their business from the stage. When she’s not handcrafting presentations for industry experts, she’s homeschooling her children in sunny Florida. In this episode, Jessica will talk to us about what a speaking stage can be and how speaking can help scale our brands including the different types of speaking. Besides this, we’ll chat about all of the struggles that come with pricing, figuring out what to charge for your speaking, and ensuring that you are getting what you deserve for your effort. On the flip side, we’ll discuss the importance of putting in the work to ensure you’re delivering a talk that’s worthy of the price you’ve asked for, pitching and selling from the stage, and navigating speaking inquiries. Last but not least, Jessica will give us some tips on dealing with nerves. Keep listening to hear Jessica’s tips for growing your business with speaking!
