Thank you for listening and you are a goddess too.

Are you asking me personally how I generate 100k an hour?

I think you're referring to a viral video where somebody asked me what my keynote speaking fee was for one hour.

At the time - it was 100k.

I got to that level after many years speaking about The 5 Second Rule and the science of change to the world's top brands - ie. Starbucks, Microsoft, JP Morgan.

I became the most booked female speaker in the world on the corporate circuit.

But as my business has expanded and my platform has grown and priorities have changed - I have stopped doing a lot of speeches and my price for a keynote has risen significantly.

So technically, I make even more, and as a woman I love saying that.

And here's a really important takeaway in business and in life - when you say no, because you're clear about your priorities, people and companies want you even more.
