If you’re a speaker, author, coach, thought leader, working professional, or expert, this workshop gives you the roadmap to explode your visibility AND revenue in 2026.
If you’ve ever thought:
“If only more people could see what I do”
“I spend too much time chasing speaking and podguesting opportunities”
“When I do speak I don’t get paid.”
“I talk to people but not enough buy. I don’t want to be pushy.”
You’re not alone.
Most of you stepped into business to because you love doing what you do and are great at it. You didn’t sign up to be a booking agent or a hotshot sales person. Your Message Matters — But If Nobody Sees You, Nobody Pays You.
INTRODUCING THE SOLUTION
The “Get Seen, Get Known, Get Paid” Framework
Delivered by Steve Brossman, an international speaker (Spoken in 15 countries to 35,000+ people live), authority strategist, sales mentor, 9 x Best Selling Author. An expert at making experts the pre-eminent choice in their market.

What You’ll Walk Away with in this Training:
How to Get SEEN
The new model for securing speaking & podcast opportunities — even if your list is small or the market feels saturated.
How to Get KNOWN
Why positioning is the new currency — and how to become the recognised, obvious authority in your niche using the Bankable Authority Blueprint
How to Get PAID
What 99% of speakers, podcast guests and business owners are doing WRONG… and the simple systems that turn visibility into revenue.
PLUS Bonus Training HOW TO SURVIVE THE AI TSUNAMI:
Experts are predicting 60% of coaches won’t be around in 2-3 years and 50% of service professionals will be gone in 3 years AND you are in the firing line. In this training Steve will show you how to “Create your Human Leverage Factor” to protect you, your business and clients.

The job market has never been more uncertain. Layoffs, reorganizations, and a looming recession mean you can no longer rely solely on traditional employment for your livelihood. Moreover, artificial intelligence (AI) has arrived and threatens many traditional roles, including marketing, finance/accounting, law, operations, HR, and recruiting.
It's long been known in entrepreneurial circles that having your own business is the path to freedom from economic uncertainty. While the arrival of the internet birthed many new ventures, the arrival of AI has created new freedom, allowing you to start your own business in as little as a weekend.
If you're looking to start a new side hustle and want to set the foundation to breaking out on your own, this webinar can help you understand how combining your expertise with traditional business approaches and infusing AI can get you to revenue faster than ever, all with lower operating costs.
You'll learn:
- Why Side Hustles are the Key to Future-Proofing Your Career: Gain valuable entrepreneurial skills while hedging against economic uncertainty.
- How AI Provides the Launchpad for Your Business: See how AI tools can accelerate everything from branding and marketing to automation and networking.
