Humble yourself to opportunities and you shall receive

Serendipitous Gaping Void (my fav cartoonist Hugh McLeod) cartoon yesterday.

 

Humble yourself to opportunities and you shall receive.

They qualified for my best keynote Speech fee because:

  • It’s in Orlando
  • There are no travel expenses
  • They paid 100% upfront

However, their contracted speaker’s fee was only a third of my best, local price.

And therefore, i wasn’t gonna be a possibility for them, even though they were desperate.

And they were seriously desperate.

Sixty people with plane tickets coming in for the annual conference.

i picked the right thing to do.

Their fee was honored – a price i would never accept normally.

We had less than 24 hours to make this work.

i worked hard to make it work.

They needed a hero.

Knowing this, how could i deny them?
