“I’m going to position myself as the authority in my industry” But does it get speaking gigs?

I saw an interesting YouTube comment the other day on the Speaking Lifestyle channel.

It mentioned their strategy for getting gigs was to position themselves as the authority in their space.

Create content, sell programs, and be the authority…then get the gigs.

Well…

Let’s just say if that’s your strategy then watch this new video

Does being an authority in your industry get you on stages?

You might be surprised at my answer.
