[Quick Tip] Every Day You Wait Someone E...

Sarah Archer: Speaker, Comedian, Author, Playwright and Coach
About this episode

In this quick tip episode, I’m tackling something that holds many speakers back —decision-making. Whether you’re using speaking to market your business, win clients, or land paid gigs, hesitation can cost you big time. Every day you wait, someone else is taking the stage.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why making decisions feels so challenging.
  • The results I’ve seen when speakers go all in.
  • Practical ways to accelerate your decision-making process.

If you’ve been stuck in indecision, or not getting the results you want then listen up.

Enjoy!
