Barter for a Motivational Speaker? Why Not?


I Never Mind Getting Those Type of Creative Calls

A very nice woman from a school district in North Carolina just called. She wants me to be a motivational speaker for her youth / high school audience but cannot afford my fee. What I love is that she is trying make up the difference between her budget and my fee with a trade: she is week in a beach-front house on the outer banks of North Carolina. (Donated by a generous parent / school board member.)

Can I do it? I’m not sure… but I love that this woman is clever and creative. I love that she is finding a way to meet my fee or speaekers rate and still make the event work for her budget.  And I love the beach! More soon!
