Are You Looking
For a New Career?

If you're happy at your job, you're well-paid, and you have no interest in diversifying your income, you can stop reading right now. But if you're in a somewhat different situation, such as....

• Are you reluctantly unemployed, with no job prospects on the horizon other than asking "Would you like fries with that"?
  

• Or are you trapped in a low-paying, meaningless job with no sense of purpose and no hope of advancement?

• Or are you retired, but you're not yet ready to be put out to pasture? Do you have accumulated life-skills that you want to share with others?

• Do you have a powerful message that people need to hear, or you want desperately to make a difference in the world.... but you don't know how to turn your passion into profit?
  

• Are you currently having a blast giving free speeches, but you'd much prefer to give "fee" speeches?

Well, as the old saying goes, I've got good news, and I've got bad news!

The Good News and the Bad News

The good news is....

Unlike many other industries, there's never been a better time to enjoy a career as a professional speaker! (Check out the Top 10 Reasons to be a Pro Speaker.)

But there's bad news too....

There's never been a worse time to be a pro speaker... if you don't know what you're doing. (Check out the Top 10 Boneheaded Blunders of Pro Speakers.)

Fame (maybe) and riches (definitely) await the successful professional speaker. But how do you become a professional speaker? (And how do you become "successful" at it?)

Unfortunately, the path to pro speaking success is not well marked, and the signs are often confusing. This is a problem your GPS or Google Earth can't help you with.

In your quest to become a successful pro speaker, where can you get the guidance and support you need... without busting your over-strained budget?

It's time for some good news again....

Pro Speaker U is the place for aspiring professional speakers to learn how to launch their careers and grow their businesses. By following Pro Speaker U's programs, you'll cut months off your learning curve, and learn how to survive the difficult "getting started" times!

"How will PSU help me become a pro?"

The core of Pro Speaker U is the Free to Fee Fast Track Strategies Program, where you receive daily guidance on the specific steps you need to take to move yourself from speaking for free to speaking for fee.

Just take a look at the comprehensive list of sessions in the Free to Fee program. You'll see how the Free to Fee program takes you from the all-important first steps of defining your plans through the specific strategies of implementing those plans... and making your career dreams come true!

And unlike other training programs, Free to Fee provides the guidance in whatever medium works best for that particular nugget of information. For example, most of the sessions on developing your financial plans are written, while many of the sessions on topic development are offered in audio or video. In fact, many sessions are both written and audio / video — whatever it takes to get that particular information across!

And because it can be intimidating to be faced with over 50 hours of information at one time, the Free to Fee program delivers its guidance "a bite at a time". Sessions vary in length, of course, but the average session only takes about 20 minutes to complete. Since you receive about three sessions each week, Free to Fee won't impact your already-busy schedule.

But what if you have a busy week and you just don't have the time to devote to your new career? Not a problem! All of the sessions are permanently archieved and available to you for as long as you're a member of Pro Speaker U. This means that you're free to go back and review earlier sessions — whenever you want, for as many times as you want!

The Free to Fee Roadmap gives you the one-step-at-a-time guidance you need to launch your career as a speaking professional. And Free to Fee works on your schedule, at your convenience, from the comfort and privacy of your home or office.

But wait, there's more!

The Free to Fee Fast Track Strategies program alone provides over 50 hours of guidance and advice on launching your speaking career. But Pro Speaker U doesn't stop there. There are many other ways that PSU helps you advance your career, including:

• PSU's "Words of Wisdom" Library holds a wealth of audio, video, and written resources to support your business activities,. (Check out the WOW Library's current offerings.) And like the Free to Fee sessions, you can access resources in the WOW Library whenever you want, as often as you want.
  

• In PSU's "Ask the Pros" program, speaking pros answer your "burning questions" about the business of speaking. Because you can also explore the questions submitted by other members, "Ask the Pros" is a treasure trove of essential guidance. You want "truth from the trenches"? You'll find it at "Ask the Pros"!
  

• But that's not all! You can exchange ideas and insights with your peers in PSU's "Eagles' Nest" forums, created specifically for aspiring pro speakers. As a Rising Star member of PSU, you can really "soar with the eagles" by creating your own forum categories, writing posts, and replying to other posts. After all, if you want to soar with the eagles, shouldn't you be hanging out with them?

• The "Eagles' Nest" forums are great. But even cooler are PSU's Virtual Mastermind Groups. As a Rising Star, you can create and participate in an unlimited number of private "virtual mastermind groups", so that you can benefit from the power of masterminding... without leaving the comfort of your home or office!
  

• And last, but certainly not least....
  
  Experienced pros know that most of the work happens before you ever get in front of your audience. The good news: someday when you're rich and successful, you'll be able to hire a team of people to support you. The bad news: until then, you've got to do everything yourself!
  
  Pro Speaker U to the rescue! PSU's collection of Productivity Tools comes to the rescue by providing you with the capabilities you need to survive these challenging "do-it-yourself" times. Productivity tools like....

  • With PSU's Audio / Video Postcard Generator, you will convey your message to your clients and prospects in a unique way that stands out from the crowd. Best of all, the slick, web-based audio/video recorder allows you to record your message directly from your web browser — no special software needed!
    

  • PSU's state-of-the-art A/V Presentations Generator enables you to put your slide presentations "in the cloud" so you can access your slideshow from any computer that's connected to the Internet.

  • Finding a good webmaster is difficult... and expensive. But as a PSU member, you can create your own custom-designed webpage with the Member Webpage Generator — quickly and easily, no knowledge of HTML needed. (In fact, the very page you're reading right now was created using PSU's Webpage Generator!) You'll discover lots of uses for your own custom-designed member webpage!

But wait, there's more! (Again)

When you join PSU as a "Rising Star" you get all the benefits just listed. For many people, that's quite sufficient.

But for those people who want even more... well, there's even more.

For those who want to do everything possible to make their pro speaking careers successful, there's the PSU Honors Program. When you join PSU as an Honors Enthusiast, you'll receive all the benefits of a "Rising Star" membership, plus :

Frankly, the extra power of the Honors Program can be a little overwhelming for some people. That's fine — you get everything you need to launch a successful career as a pro speaker with PSU's "Rising Star" membership. But some people want the extra capabilities of the Honors Program, so there're there for the people who need them and can handle them.

It comes down to this.... it's your career, so it's your choice which path is most useful for you. (If you're still undecided which PSU path is right for you, check out this comparison of the Rising Star and Honors memberships.)

"All this has got to be expensive!"

As you can see, PSU is dedicated to helping aspiring pro speakers decode the mysteries of the speaking industry and launch successful careers as professional speakers. If you're looking to break into this exciting new industry, then PSU is for you!

"But wait!" you may be saying. "PSU is wonderful, but can I afford it?" Relax. So that anyone can benefit from the resources and capabilities of PSU, I've deliberately priced a "Rising Star" membership in Pro Speaker U as low as possible... an unbelievable $19 per month. (And, quite frankly, if you can't afford to invest $19 a month toward your speaking career, you simply can't afford to become a pro speaker.)

And what about the Honors Program? The extra capabilities of an Honors membership are yours for an additional $10... only $29 a month!

So whichever membership is right for you, the question is not "can I afford to join PSU?", but rather "can I afford not to join PSU?" And the longer you wait to join, the longer you postpone your success. Why wait? Join today!

"If only I had more time!"

PSU is not only dedicated to being within everyone's budget, it's also committed to being convenient. There's no travel involved in accessing PSU's many benefits, and because it's always available — 24 / 7 — there's no scheduling hassles. If you've got Internet access, you've got PSU access!

You can usually read — or listen to — each daily Free to Fee session in about 15 minutes, so PSU won't adversely impact your normal life. And since the sessions are permanently archieved, if you do "fall behind", you can go back and review any session, at any time, as many times as you need!

Of course, the resources in the WOW Library often require more than 15 minutes to explore; but again, you can preuse the contents of the WOW Library at your convenience, so your normal daily activities aren't affected.

I've even carried this philosophy into the registration process. Joining PSU is quick and easy (takes about 3 minutes). Why delay your success any longer? Join now!

What's better than a money-back guarantee?

If you still have doubts, think about this.... You can join Pro Speaker U and use all PSU'scapabilities for 7 days... for free. That means you don't pay a dime for the first week's worth of benefits you receive.

Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

And you have no long-term (or even short-term) contracts to sign. This means that if you cancel your PSU membership in the first 7 days, you don't pay anything at all. 

Of course, I'm betting that you'll be so delighted with all the benefits that PSU offers you, that you'll agree that $19 a month (or $29 for an Honors membership) is the best investment you could possibly make in your speaking career. That's why I'm giving you the chance to "test drive" Pro Speaker U for one week... no risk, no obligation.

"I've postponed my dreams long enough!"

So that's it. Bottom line, Pro Speaker U is incredibly inexpensive. It's also incredibly convenient. And I'm confident that as you start to explore all the capabilities and resources of PSU, you'll discover that it's incredibly useful.

Top it all off with... there's no risk whatsoever. Try PSU for 7 days without paying a cent. And you have no obligation. You can cancel your membership anytime you feel that PSU is not worth your investment. No questions asked.

So if you agree that PSU is exactly what you've been searching for, then don't waste any more time. Start manifesting your dream career today by joining PSU now!

Let's get started!

What are you waiting for? Your time has come, and PSU is here to assist you.

(Want to know more about Jim Barber, the founder of PSU?
Here's the man behind the U.)

PS — For some people, it's a drawback to Pro Speaker U that there's no one-on-one coaching or consultation. (Let's face it, there's just no way I can offer that for under $20 a month.) PSU provides you with a wealth of tools and resources, but it's up to you to use them.

But I realize that some people want personal guidance, so here's what you can do. I'll slash my normal phone coaching / consulting rate of $99 / hour (relatively inexpensive for speaker business coaching) to only $59 an hour (for Rising Stars) and $39 an hour for Honors participants.

And for those times when you don't need an entire hour of personal consultation, I even offer half-hour sessions at about 40% off the already-discounted hourly rates. (Half-hour sessions are available only for PSU members.)

This way, you can get the personal guidance you need, when you need it, and without breaking your budget. (And, of course, if you don't need personal coaching / consultation, you save even more money!)

But please don't think that I'm pushing personal coaching / consulting. It's completely optional. I'm offering it for those people who want it, but it suits me just fine if you can succeed without it. Won't hurt my feelings one bit!

What I do want is for you to get the guidance you need so that you can begin to manifest your dream career. If the Rising Star program will do it, that's terrific. If you prefer the Honors program, that's terrific too. And if you want occasional coaching, I'm here for you.

What I don't want is for you to abandon your dreams. Dreams are precious.

Treasure your dreams. Make yours real. -jim
