MOST REQUESTED TOPICS:
Passion Precedes Profit
For audiences ranging from students up to retirees, Spencer focuses on following one’s passion in life, how it’s okay to not be sure about which path to take (it’s how you find out what’s really important to you), how innovation is closely linked with those who thought “outside the box” and followed their vision, and finding happiness and balance in one’s life while pursuing goals. 

This program is based on Spencer’s experiences as an author, speaker, radio show host, financial services professional, and life-long entrepreneur, and in the knowledge and insight imparted upon him by some of the greatest minds of our generation/guests on his show and even those from generations past that Spencer has researched over the past five years. The perfect fit for entrepreneurs, corporations that would like to foster “intrapreneurship” and form a healthier, happier workplace, and for professionals just starting out in life.

As part of this program, since it is related to his eagerly-awaited forthcoming book, Spencer will discuss how to manage chronic stress, burnout, and anxiety, even while chasing large goals in life. 

Promote You! Write Your Own Book! 
If you are a business owner, public speaker, or an authority on a subject, you NEED to have your own book.  It’s as simple as that.

As a business owner, what better marketing tool for you, your products or services, and your company is there than a book?  Anyone can create marketing materials or design innovative online campaigns, but you could be the first one of your major competitors to be a published author.  Talk about separating yourself from the herd with your customers!

If you are a public speaker on a regular basis, it is highly likely that you are an effective communicator.  Why not communicate in another form…a book?  You can expand on the messages from your talks, build up your credibility with people booking you to events, and offer another product for sale to attendees of your events. 

Many industry experts or those in the academic field spend their lives devoting their focus to a hyper-specialized niche.  A number will publish academic papers or write op-ed pieces in the newspaper in their lifetimes.  Why not expand on this and write a book, thus REALLY making an impact with your knowledge and the sharing of your ideas?

Spencer will not only convince you that you CAN write your own book; he will give you some great insider tips!  You’ll learn some time management techniques for the actual writing, the value of editing and how to get help through peer review, the exciting and innovative new publishing avenues, how you can team up with others to collaborate on a book, and even tips on how to market and thus generate revenue and get attention, once the book is available to the public.

Get Between the Covers: Leave a Legacy by Writing a Book (2nd Edition of the International Bestseller)
Book is available for all talks given.  Regardless of subject, certain elements of the book (e.g. improved communication, branding a business by writing a book) are always emphasized depending on the audience.
