If you are a hometown motivational speaker that wants to make it big, then one of the first priorities will be to find your own mentor and with so many fine motivational speakers around, the chance is that you will source one quite easily and quickly. You could start small and just write and perform after dinner speeches that thank people for coming, but there is always room for experimentation. Taking part in your local community's events is a great way to test the water, to see if you have what it takes, and to practice your skills. Something that is really invaluable is to find yourself a mentor who will take you under their wing. A good mentor is invaluable. You can learn from their experiences, and they can introduce you to influential people who can kick start your career! It also means that you will always have somebody there to help you, to look out for you and your career and you won't have to make all the new decisions on your own. A good mentor can help you elevate faster, and increase your chances of getting after dinner speaking jobs. With a good mentor at your side, you could easily become more successful at being a motivational speaker champion than your average Joe that is running the same race. Remember the old saying that multitudes aspire and a very few will ultimately attain.

Join Societies.

Although this can be a little costly, a way to choose a recognised motivational speaker would be to showcase your skills through a society or guild. A good example of a guild you could join in the Professional Speakers Association, who do charge a fee of R1000+ for a yearly membership, but do offer a great service for this money, as you would expect. Treat the money you put into memberships of such associations as an investment, it won't be wasted if you're serious about choosing a motivational speaker leader in the circles of influential motivational speakers!
