3 Value Bombs
1) You have a message inside you. Don’t let it just stay inside until the day you die. It’s meant to come out to the world and impact the people that it is meant to reach.
2) Your higher perceived value correlates to how much you get paid to speak. So, if you want to do free gigs, don’t do a TEDx talk. If you want to get paid gigs, do a TEDx talk.
3) In reality, the one thing that matters, and the one thing that will contribute more to a paid speaking career than anything else, is having one authority-building, credibility-building talk that you can send to the right people who have a budget to pay you to speak.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How to do a TEDx Talk In the next 90 Days (even if you aren’t a speaker)
[1:48] – Taylor shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Consistent, long-term success is perceived as boring to most people, because most people focus on the outputs.
[2:39] – Why should we do a TedX Talk this year?
- You shouldn’t unless you want this year to be one where you go way beyond your comfort zone and be a paid speaker. There’s nothing that contributes more to a paid speaker experience or career than a TedX Talk.
- It’s 18 minutes of authority and credibility building.
[4:14] – The views that clients get on their TEDx Talks.
- A kid who’s 19 got his TedX Talk to 5 million views because of the right preparation. The talk led to 300 paid speaking gigs all over the world.
- Every client will get at least 50,000 views guaranteed with engagements, comments, and likes.
[6:45] – What can happen to someone that does a TedX Talk?
- With at least 50,000 views, around 1% may book you for coaching. If you are charging $3,000 for coaching and around 100 people booked you, that’s $300,000 of earnings for coaching alone.
- A client who had 5,000 views had passed the $75,000 mark in revenue generated from workshops and speaking gigs.
- You could be edging up on that $100,000 mark in workshops and paid speaking gigs by making your message bigger than your fear.
[9:56] – What you need to know when you overcome your fear of doing a TedX Talk.

[13:18] – Can any person make money from a TedX Talk?
- Unless you have literally no way to monetize your stuff whatsoever, you’re ideally going to trip over money
- You need to get really clear on how you want to monetize. It can be by selling more books, selling coaching, or becoming a paid speaker.
- Have a piece of footage – aka a TEDx Talk – with great lighting, a great stage, a great sign in the background, with the authority that comes along with a TEDx Talk. Then – and only then – you can send that talk out to the people who can book you to speak.
- Your higher perceived value correlates to how much you get paid to speak. So, if you want to do free gigs, don’t do a TEDx Talk. If you want to get paid gigs, do a TEDx Talk.
[16:54] – The secret to becoming a paid speaker.
- Get really clear on your niche
- When you know what your niche is and you have a really amazing credibility-building, authority-building talk, send it to people within that niche who are putting on conferences.
