How to Start a Personal Motivation Business

2.

Evaluate your life experiences and use them to create a message for your motivational speaking business that you can present to clients and your audience. Your job will be to help people find motivation in their everyday life, and the way to do that is to relay your own experiences but with positive emotion and strong conviction.
3.

Write your message into a book that you can sell at your speaking engagements. A book of your message will give people something to share with others after you speak, and it can help increase the awareness of your message. You can write the book on a computer word processor and have it inexpensively bound at a print shop.
4.

Join organizations, such as the National Speakers Association, to find out new ways to market your business, and as an accreditation to put on your business card. Join the local chapter of Toastmasters to help you improve your public speaking skills, and to network with others.
5.

Offer your speaking services to local hobby clubs, business associations and corporations. Start with a low price in the range of $25 to $50 for your speaking engagements to help get exposure. Selling your books and any motivational CDs you produce will help generate additional income at your speaking engagements. As you gain popularity, you can begin to raise your price.
