3 Compelling Reasons To Read the New Book Speak for Impact
It’s a big week here at Rebel Headquarters. I released my second book, Speak for Impact: Write a Speech That’s Your Next Best-Selling Product. It quickly became a bestseller on Amazon but…
…you might be thinking: “Michelle, there’s so many books on public speaking out there? Does the world really need another one?”
My answer is: “Hell yes the world does!”
Because this book isn’t like most public speaking books (even my first book) focus on skills. The how to’s of delivery, stagecraft, eliminating your umm’s and ahh’s, or storytelling.
The book focuses on the strategy that needs to be in place in order for you to become a highly bookable (sought-after) and bankable (well-paid).
The book presents a unique approach to thinking about and writing your speech so that it works for your business, and you don’t have to hustle so hard for speaking opportunities.
But heck, I wrote the book. I’ll let the readers tell you about the 3 most compelling reason to read Speak for Impact. It has everything to do with stop thinking about your speech as a speech and to start thinking about it as a business that generates revenue.
Reason #1: Speak for Impact answers the “How do I get paid to speak?” question
Jules Taggart wrote in her review:
“Speak for Impact wastes no time answering the question we are all thinking: How do we get paid to speak? Mazur gets right to the point in an actionable and approachable way that every entrepreneur can profit from.”
In chapter one of the book, we deep dive into two business models that help you get paid to speak. If you plan to make money with speaking, you need a business model and then you can write a speech that supports that model.
No model = no money. Figure out first how you want to get paid.

Reason #2: A strategic approach to marketing your speech.
Sharon D wrote:
“Michelle's book has helped me realized why my scatter-shot marketing for my speeches hasn't been working. I now have a bunch of realistic action items and a plan in place to start marketing my speeches.”
Sharon was the one who pointed out to me that the reason to buy and follow the strategy is that you’ll find:
- it's easier to pitch yourself for speaking opportunities
- you can charge more for your speech
- speaking gigs will start finding their way to YOU instead of you always hustling for them
When it’s easier to pitch, you can easily earn more money, and you don’t have to worry about “where’s the next gig coming from?” you can focus on what matters: delivering a great experience to your audience.
Reason #3: You don’t have to sell-out to make money speaking
JMac said:
“Her insights on how to approach your speech will change the way you present your material and align your work with generating revenue for your business without being a sell-out on stage.”
I hate the hype that exists in the speaking industry. You’ve seen that hype I’m sure of it:
- Triple your income with speaking!
- Add 7-figures to your business with speaking in 7-weeks!
- I made a million dollars speaking and so can you!
These are bs claims meant to make you enroll in people’s program and claims that transforms the audience into one thing – ATMs sitting in uncomfortable chairs.
I’m telling you it doesn’t have to be that way. You can make money speaking without feeling like sleazy, salesy, “run-to-the-back-of-the-room” speaker. You can earn cash while making your audience the star of your presentation.
Rebecca West said it best:
“The first time I heard Dr. Mazur say to “think of my speech as a product that I could sell” I was blown away. It took my speech writing from crafting a message that *I* want to share, to creating a message that *my audience wanted to hear*!”
Honestly, when your audience wants to hear your message, they’ll buy-in to you and your business and that’s going to lead to sales later.
