Blame It On Rio - Reconsider The Value Of Delivering International Speeches & Seminars
In a prior article, I mentioned it is very costly to deliver a paid, professional speech or seminar at a distant international venue.
You have prep time, visas to apply and wait for, travel to arrange, currency and payment collection issues, language barriers, and days on airplanes en route.
Still, after having recently done a first-class program in Brazil, which I had a chance to videotape for release later as a product, I was pleased and said the experience was well worth it.
But today, a mere eight months later, I might decline the same opportunity.
