THE ACCELERATION ACADEMY

Now Accepting Applications for our
Fall 2022 Group

You already know you can rock the podium... but are you getting paid the fees you deserve?

“I know I have what it takes, I just don’t know the path to getting booked more often at full fee!”

This is a common complaint!

Have you ever wondered, what’s it going to take to really accelerate in the speaking business?

At The Wealthy Speaker School, we map out the plan, but what if you want more?  What if you want to go faster?

What if you wanted to get your calendar booked with quality events with less costly time and mistakes?

Well, we have the answer!

 

Hi, I’m Jane. I’m here to help whip your speaking business into shape with less time and mistakes!


Have you got "$100K or $250K speaking business" on your vision board?

Then sit with me a moment, and let me share some of what I learned after 15 years as a booking agent, 6 under the roof of a speakers bureau and recently, 15+ years coaching my clients to become some of the most highly-paid and sought-after speakers in the industry.

So how does a speaker go from a $1,000 keynote to $5,000 keynote and then to $10,000?  

I’m about to share all of my insider secrets. And more importantly, I’m going to make sure you actually IMPLEMENT them in your business.

Fall 2022 Group – NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

Want to earn higher fees, book business at leading industry events and set your business up to scale?

Then you’re in the right place. Whether your event calendar is bone dry, or you’re booked up for months with less-than-ideal speaking gigs, we can help. 

Help get you booked more often at higher rates, and set you up to move towards $100K, $250K and beyond in your speaking business more quickly. (Yes, it’s possible! we have clients who’ve done it!) 

If you’re willing to hustle to do the work, to really show up for your mission and message every single day, I’ll show you how to score the business. 

That’s The Acceleration Academy program—a 12-month, time-tested program designed to help you lay down a foundation, accelerate and scale your business!

For 10 highly-driven speakers, this will be “the year that everything changed”

You didn’t get into the speaking business to spend your life delivering freebies and low pay events, did you?

You’re here because you have a message. A mission and a movement. Because you’re damn good and you know how to influence others and create positive change.

With the Academy, you’ll be joining a group of (max 10) others like you. Driven and talented speakers who are ready to scale, ready to move towards your financial goals.

You’ll get the tools and the accountability to blow the ceiling off your speaking business.

Maybe that means higher fees or more live or virtual gigs, or maybe that means better, quality engagements.

Maybe that means working smarter, without compromising your income. There’s no one size fits all!

Just imagine…

  • Easily getting the “yes” the next time you speak to a decision maker (even at double your current fee)!
  • Being able to clearly articulate your value proposition and hearing people say “We absolutely MUST have you at our event, no matter what the cost!”
  • Having speakers bureaus and event planners come to YOU, instead of having to hustle for every gig!
  • Getting that hockey-stick growth curve in your business, by building a strong foundation that can sustain several flashpoints in a year!
"The Acceleration Academy has helped me get clear about what I am building and given me the tools to build it. I have been able to tap into endless resources, a supportive community and shifted into a mindset that has put me into High Grit - when your passion turns your why into your must!"

"There is a lot of advice on how to build the speaking business, but the coaching I've received from this program has accelerated my business and given me the tools and direction I need to succeed!"

ABOUT COACH JEN MCDONOUGH
aka The Iron Jen!

Jen has been on the front lines of the speaking industry and knows what it takes to secure the bookings at the fees your desire.

When she graduated 6+ years ago from The Wealthy Speaker School, Jane saw a fire in Jen – they don’t call her The Iron Jen for nothing – and immediately invited her to be a part of the team. 

The speaking industry is noisy. A lot of “you should do this and that.”

Because of Jen’s hands-on experience, Jen will help you wade through the industry noise to a path that will result in bookings.  She’s helped hundreds of speakers accelerate towards the businesses of their dreams.

Jen was first introduced to the speaking industry when her family paid off over $200,000 in medical bills in a very short period of time. She’s trained and run triathalons, written several books, has been inducted into the Minnesota Weight Lifting Hall of Fame. Because Jen was getting paid to speak to first responders, she became a volunteer fire fighter and served for 6 years!  But what you’ll notice first about Coach Jen, is that she has a huge heart.

Coaching once a quarter with Jen will allow you to map out a plan, and with Jen’s accountability, stay on track.

Here’s some of what we’ll cover in the monthly mastermind calls!

Group mastermind calls are designed to get you unstuck, spur new ideas and hold you accountable to your goals. Your coaches will be on hand to answer your burning questions and lay down the tough love when you need it.  

  • The critical positioning mistake we see too many speakers making in their marketing
  • How to write & deliver engaging presentations (whether they be live or virtual)
  • Drafting a “promise statement” gets you noticed in a sea of same-same speakers
  • Website rescue! Learn everything you need on your site if you want to get booked (most speakers have it totally wrong!)
  • The daily success habits of every Wealthy Speakers and Jane's 7 figure clients
  • How to create a ultimate demo video that has decision makers salivating to get you at their event
  • Where to find (solid) paying audiences and quality events
  • System, processes and strategies that are absolutely MISSION-CRITICAL if you want to get to that 6 figure business.

This 12-month program is a critical investment in the
future of your business!
