Very actionable

I recommend this book for new and experienced speakers looking to monetize their speaking.
Ashley shares insights that helped me to refine my approach and to think bigger. The book outlines the hustle required to be successful which is both encouraging and real. It is not easy...but absolutely doable. Definitely a valuable book that I will return to
