So you’re ready to speak in public.
Kudos. Public speaking — especially at industry conferences — can be a massive brand-builder. It can turbo-charge your networking. It’s not for everyone, but the effects on a small business are undeniable. Somewhat surprisingly, it can also be the perfect way for introverted entrepreneurs to connect with people.

Today, we’ll share what Omar learned over time, so you can get to your first speaking engagement sooner.
There is a way to get on stage, even if you’ve never delivered a talk in your life. Find out how — Click Play!
