“I was in a state of extreme chaos when I was referred to Richard Andrew's Motivational Speaker Academy. I felt like I was in a million little pieces, hoping all those pieces would somehow be launched into the air like a tornado and land as a perfectly designed speaking career. 

I began with lesson one. Then two, and by lesson three, I sensed a feeling of confidence and direction had lifted me through the chaos and into transition. Within the first two months of the course, I was able to sign a radio show, based on my book, Passion By Design, and have just been signed for another 12 weeks!

Miraculous? Perhaps, but I know without a doubt, the Motivational Speaker Academy eCourse defined my intentions, gave me a course of action, and heightened my level of confidence. I plan on reviewing the lessons over and over to continue to layer my career with the richness of what this program offers.

In addition, the training supplies a tremendous amount of tools for getting my "show on the road!" I am grateful and look forward to every lesson from the Motivational Speaker Academy.”

“In a word...priceless!  When I began your Motivational Speaker Academy in March of 2010, I had already acquired some experience as a motivational speaker, mostly to local audiences. I had previously paid substantial sums of money and devoted a lot of time on other programs for speakers, only to find they did not deliver what they promised.

In no uncertain terms, your material is accurate, relevant, and best of all it is based on real world industry experience.

From establishing yourself as an expert, to learning how to use emotion, to knowing when and how to hire a virtual assistant, this training course should be required learning for all speakers.

Thank you Richard, for taking the time to put it all together in an affordable, simple to understand system.”

“I’ve received valuable advice from the Motivational Speaker Academy that I have already put into use. For instance, Richard’s program suggested we include in our actual presentation a request to the audience for future speaking opportunities. I’ve added that right before my final quote.

The ideas Richard gave to fit my situation will work wonderfully. One that I’m the most excited about is creating mini e-courses, which I will be working on as my next product offering.

The money I spent on this program was well worth the valuable learning I received and have been putting into use.”

“I've been a public speaker for a few years and this program is VERY GOOD. There are a ton of resources for shaping your message, creating a platform and becoming a professional speaker. I probably have over 20 books on the subject and have attended an equal number of seminars and workshops.

As a former radio host and speaker, I can tell you Richard's information is top notch. I have since recommended his course to others and they have stated the same. You simply won't find a better value for your dollar than the Motivational Speaker Academy program.”

“Thank you so much for the opportunity to take the Motivational Speaker Academy online training program. As a booking agent for professional speakers, I always find it helpful to keep up on new processes for being a better speaker and new ways to find leads.

I am excited to put the strategies I have learned as a member of Motivational Speaker Academy to use in my own career and in my business.”

“Thank you Richard for the great content and the affordable price. I can't believe that I'm getting all of what you promised to deliver for less than $20.00 a month! I have paid much more and received a lot less from the so-called gurus of the speaking industry. They charge an arm and a leg for information that your course provides for a far more reasonable price.

Motivational Speaker Academy really is one of those things that people call too good to be true - but yours is actually true. It's not just the quality and the quantity of information that I've received from you, but the affordability of the priceless knowledge you've helped me acquire. Thank God I found you at the right time!”

“Thank you for your wonderful Motivational Speaker Academy training course!  As a fairly successful speaker already, I thought that I had the fundamentals of running a speaking business down pat. 

However, I was truly surprised by the “little things” my business was missing.  And as you already know, the little things make all the difference. 

The bottom line is that I have already seen significant growth in my business after being exposed to Motivational Speaker Academy. I know that by following your plan of instruction, my business will continue to grow. 

Thank you again Richard for developing this amazing training program.”

“I was already a seasoned speaker when I started the Motivational Speaker Academy eCourse. I was looking for ways to grow my business and advanced marketing techniques, and this training program gave me an abundance of both. As I was going through the first couple of weeks, it was a great refresher of stuff that we sometimes forget as speakers. Around week 14 or 15 was when things really took off for me. The course started talking about hiring virtual assistants, which was a totally new concept for me. Specifically, these lessons provided great links and tips.  

Just from those two lessons and the resources listed, I was able to interview many virtual assistants, and ended up finding two great VAs that have revolutionized my business. The Motivational Speaker Academy eCourse has transformed my business model, and I now feel like a person with an actual speaking business, and not merely just a speaker. 

The modest investment of this training course is peanuts in comparison to the return. My advice is that even for advanced speakers it is well worth it to read through and apply every lesson. The tips on the virtual assistants, was actually something that I picked up at the very end of one of the lessons. Motivational Speaker Academy was truly beneficial, and I would highly recommend it to anyone - emerging and experienced speakers alike.”

“The Motivational Speaker Academy Course has literally held me by the hand as I've built my speaking business from scratch. Gradually over a period of time it has covered pretty much every aspect of getting my business started as quickly and effectively as possible. The weekly delivery was perfect, allowing me to make real progress each week without getting completely snowed under! Thank you so much for this program Richard. ”

“I have been coaching and presenting workshops for more than 15 years, but when I decided to focus on developing my skills as a platform speaker, I was unsure where to start. When I found the Motivational Speaker Academy I had no idea how valuable the e-lessons would become to my professional development.  

I am enjoying the e-mail course, and I find your material rock solid and your suggestions very helpful. I have joined the speakers groups that you mention in the course and have already benefited from membership. 

Not only have I gained advanced speaker training but also valuable suggestions regarding how to manage the business of speaking. This is the first on-line program that I have taken that I have embraced with such enthusiasm and commitment. My memberships on the suggested sites are already yielding results. Consistent action based on a proven system for success! Looking forward to the lessons that remain. Thank you so much Richard.”

"How refreshing to find a training program for speakers presented in an easy-to-access and easy-to-read format. Whenever I have a few minutes available I am able to access the lesson(s) from my laptop; wherever I am. Hands down this beats driving to a seminar!

Even for seasoned speakers, this is a good refresher. At times I perceive the information (that I thought I already knew) in an entirely new way because it was presented from a slightly different perspective. Thank you for doing this Richard. Oh, and 'The Price Is Right'!"

"When I found Richard Andrew's Motivational Speaker Academy, I had already been getting speaking engagements, but they were few and far between due to my lack of knowledge regarding the actual process of building a speaking business. I welcomed the opportunity to help me further my speaking aspirations and bring greater focus and direction to my business.

After starting the program, I found that each lesson gave me more clarity on what I needed to be doing to take my speaking business to the next level. With the guidance of the eCourse, and with me applying everything I was learning from the lessons, I started to see results. Within the first three months of receiving and working with the weekly lessons, I was able to secure a two week speaking tour in Ghana based on my upcoming book, 'Stretch Yourself, Create the Relationships You Deserve'.

I truly enjoyed the value that the Motivational Speaker Academy eCourse gave in helping me lay out a definite course of action as a result of consistently working with the training material. I have printed out all the lessons for reference as I continue to bless others with my career and the gifts that the Motivational Speaker Academy training provides.

I am truly grateful and appreciative to Richard for lifting the cloud that once had me stumbling around. This training has given me clarity and a sense of purpose. Thank you so much for helping me develop my speaking business and my passion to help others!"
