Unlocking Happiness to Grow Your Business with Bruce Wawrzyniak [Student Highlight]

"If you go through adversity and you don't learn anything from it, that it's a lost opportunity"

This episode of the Speaker Lab Podcast is another excellent episode of our Student Highlight Series. Maryalice Goldsmith, Director of Student Success, sat down with Bruce Wawrzyniak to talk about his speaking business, the career he’s building, and his experience here at the Speaker Lab.

"So which ones are you going to choose? Are you going to choose the negative thoughts and dwell on those, or are you going to choose the positive, happy thoughts and really affect your whole day with the choices that you make just based on all the different thoughts that come in and out of your mind?"

When it comes to developing a speaking career, Bruce reflected on finding his niche, developing confidence in his worth, and learning how to run this operation like a business vs. a hobby. Maryalice and Bruce also cover:

Developing a strategy as a speaker
The importance of happiness in our life
Why you should invest in yourself
How to prepare for success
What it looks like to take action
Why you have to solve a problem for your audiences
And more!

“Hope is not a strategy that will grow your business.”
