      Dedication

      To Mark, my amazing husband, my best friend, and my biggest supporter, who on a daily basis continues to encourage me, believe in me and help keep me focused. Thank you, my love, for being the man you are. I thank God every day for bringing us together so many years ago and for the wonderful family and life we have created together. To my four beautiful daughters, Ashli, Brittani, Cassi and Charli Jane, who are my joy and inspiration, and who keep mom going. You have taught me what life is really all about—living, loving and laughing. Thank you, girls, and remember to follow your dreams, don’t ever give up and always be yourself...I am very proud of each one of you! You are all very special and talented and don’t ever let anyone tell you different—I love you all.

      To my loving parents, Jim and Karen Holzer, who are the best role models a daughter could ask for. I owe you a ton of gratitude. Without your loving and balanced guidance, your wisdom and support, I would not be where I am today, I would not be ‘me,’ so I thank you mom and dad with all my heart. I love you.

      To my two beautiful, talented sisters and moms, Debbi and Holli; to my wonderful brother David; to my mother in-law, Rae; and to all of my extended family and friends, thank you for all your support and love through the years.

      Acknowledgments

      Two special thank you’s – one to my webmaster, Evelyne Matti, a talented and professional web designer who is, without a doubt, an angel in disguise. She has been a wonderful mentor and friend to me over the years and I owe her a lot of gratitude and acknowledgement for the success of Charli Jane Speaker Services. Thank you Evelyne!

      A big thank you goes out to all my clients and members for kindly allowing me to be a part of their lives and for putting their trust in me to help them grow their speaking business. Each and every one of you mean more to me then you will ever know. You are a very talented, amazing and fun group to work with. Thank you and I look forward to continuing to serve and assist you in reaching your dreams.

      To My Virtual Team

      To Janna my virtual assistant and Diane my book editor, thank you for all you do - you are true professionals in your area of expertise. I owe you a ton of gratitude.

      Can the information in this book really work for me?

      The following information and model in this ebook can work for any speaker who does no-fee speaking engagements. You can be a beginner speaker or a speaker who has been on the circuit for many years. Don’t get me wrong I believe every speaker should be paid their fee for doing their job, unfortunately all of you know the no-fee engagements are easier to get booked especially when your just stepping into the speaking arena, plus many are not paying their speakers a fee, if they do it is very low or expenses only, but most will allow for you to have a BOR table (Back of the Room) and this is where you will see your big pay days.

      I see so many speakers except no-fee events and do such a great job but bring absolutely NO products with them and did not even offer any coaching/mentor programs. Now, you all know that if you have been an effective presenter and made that connection the audience is going to want to take a piece of you home, so it’s important to give that to them. You also know that doing these free events opens the doors for more opportunities.

      How big can I make my payday? It will be different for each individual speaker and will depend on the products and services you can create and the size of your audience.

      It is important to think outside the box and leverage these opportunities. Remember this model is for no-fee speaking events and as you build your business you will add to it your asking fee plus the sales on your website, now you will have created many streams of income and many outlets in which to reach out and help your audience.

      The trick to making big paydays work for you: First you have to do your homework
