Joel Weldon’s Ultimate Speaking System To Grow Your Business And Be A Results Feat. Joel Weldon

What if Ben was not prepared and confident and equipped with a powerful message three years ago? He would have missed out on that opportunity and the rewards that followed that 10 minute talk. So what about you? Are you missing out because your speaking skills aren't what they could be? And who is missing out on hearing your message because your speaking skills aren't what they could be? So, fellow Genius Network members, you're going to love the opportunities coming your way and you're going to love using these systems to grow your business. And when you do, you're going to see your dreams come true.

So that being said, one of the very best people that I look up to and admire in terms of health is Joel Weldon. I'm going to have him give a talk. He's a sponsor this year. Joel has been one of the most incredibly helpful members of Genius Network. He's our oldest member. He's 79 years old. The guy is a fitness. He's a God among men.

Really.

He's a God among men. Joel is amazing. I'm going to read an intro of him and then I'm going to let JOEL Give a 10 minute talk. This is not going to necessarily be about health. It's going to be about one of his greatest skills which he can absolutely help you with. And he's been so helpful to so many Genius Network members over the year. I love this guy. So Joel Weldon is known by almost all Genius Network members that are here, except for our first timers. Joel's been a very active member for seven years. He's a Hall of fame professional speaker with over 3,000 paid talks over his 46 year career. Plus he's coached and critiqued over 10,000 speakers over the seven years at Genius Network. He has worked on 18310 minute talk presentations, helped our speakers make their message even clearer. He's helped improve their visuals, added humor, and created powerful openings and closings. In addition, Joel has headed up an Arizona Genius Network member social group which meets two or three times a year. Yet with all of this, both Joel and I are aware that many members still don't know exactly what Joel does in his one on one coaching with our members. This is except for the 167 members that have already hired Joel as their personal one on one speaker skills coach. Just like I did so that you know also other people that have hired Joel, Verne Harnish, Kevin Harrington, Mary Morrissey, even Brian Tracy, who spoke for us and has given over 5,000 talks and even coaches speakers himself. Why Because Joel is that good. But so many members still don't know exactly what Joel can do. That's why Joel has agreed to be a sponsor and to use this 10 minute interview to explain exactly what he can do for you, even if you aren't a professional speaker. On a personal note, just a few months ago, I had an opportunity to spend four days with Joel on his 72 foot houseboat on Lake Powell. It was truly an amazing experience, mostly because there was no cell reception for like four days straight, so I couldn't get any, any access to anything. It was awesome. So I had a blast doing things on the water that I had never done before. Joel coached me on how to catch strip bass, how to clean the fish. I literally did that. Every one of the fish. I not only clean them, I even helped cook the darn things because I'm actually a good cook.

All right.

How to water ski, how to run slalom, water ski course on a jet ski, and a lot more things that I'd never done before. I even did a handstand on a paddle board. First time I was ever on a paddle board. We can probably show that video. What impressed me most was how Joel had a system for everything that we did over those four days. Joel, before you tell us about your ultimate speaking system and how you can help our members even be a better communicator, tell them about your systems on the houseboat. Because this dude is incredibly systemized. So what he's going to share with you is not only how he can help you, but really the whole concept of systems. Because all of the stuff we're teaching here at Genius Network, if you can systemize it, it's going to make your life a hell of a lot more elf. Please give up for my dear friend, Mr. Joe Weldon.

Well, Joe, thank you so much for that loving introduction. And as you're attending this event, remember, I'm a sponsor. So you're going to know in this time that we have together the power of systems. As Joe said, you're going to have an understanding of why speaking effectively can help you grow your business. And Kara just proved to you what she's done with $150 million business by being a speaker. And hopefully you're going to feel committed to being an even better speaker. Now, think of your systems. You probably have a system for new clients, for a new team member, a system on how to stay fit and healthy. And now we have a system to breathe through our nose. A system is a set of procedures. As you know, that is put into an organized framework to get something done. And when you have systems that you can predict the results and you know it's going to work. So as a sponsor, I'm offering you a system on communicating your ideas. Now, we have two other sponsors. Jennifer Houdi has a system on conveying in print your vivid vision. And Bill Gerber has a system for using accounting virtually. Mine is a system to use communication of your ideas and. And making it even more effective verbally. So think of this. The longer you work with a system, the better the system is going to work for you. Joe, are you still there? Is that true from your experience, that the longer we have a system, the better it's going to work?

Absolutely, because you get more. I mean, like with anything, the more it marinates, the deeper it goes into your behavior, into your knowledge, into your awareness, and to your resourcefulness.

Well, and that's what experiences really do. So when you went to Lake Powell with me, which you had never done on our houseboat, you saw the power of systems at work. Everything worked. All of my boats work because I have a system for maintaining them. We caught fish for dinner because I have a system for fishing. You got up on skis, which you had never done before, because I have a system on how to teach people how to water ski everything. Joe, you experienced what was part of a system, and that's why you had such a good time. Now, remember what we said? The longer you use a system, the better the system gets. So in reality, that houseboating experience of Joe's is a metaphor for what I can do for you when you hire me as your speaking and communications guide. Why? Because of my systems and my experience. You see, when Joe left our houseboat, that was my 1,689th day on my houseboat. Not 1,689 days in a row. But that was over 30 years on that boat. So I perfected those systems. And I don't know anybody that has that many days on Lake Powell on their own houseboat. And the same is true for your ability to communicate and speak. I've got 46 years of taking every part of the communication process and creating an easy to use system that you will learn and use. And as you know, a system saves you stress, time, energy and money.

Hey, I hope you're enjoying this video. And I want to let you know that I have a new book that's come out, and if you'd like to get it absolutely free, there's a link below in the description or you can wait till the end of this video or you can Simply go to joesfreebook.com and you can get a copy there.

It could be the best decision that you've ever made. And it sure was for Jim Do. Because Joe, you always ask people to write in the chat box what was the best idea that you got. And at a recent meeting, Jim wrote this in the chat box. Since I hired Joel Weldon as my speaking skills coach, I have made at least an extra $500,000 by growing my business through speaking. Well, Jim, congratulations and thanks for saying that. So if you want to increase your income every time you speak, go to the chat box and just say, joel, let's talk and we'll have a conversation. And when you have me as your communication and speaking guide, you're going to learn these systems. And remember, when you have a system, it's going to save you stress, time, energy and money. And we're going to work together on helping you learn these systems so you can make better one on one presentations. Big Joe Clark said that was one of the best benefits he got in working with me. You're going to have a system how to write powerful introductions, get your audience involved before you say your first word. How to capture their attention is a system. How to use visuals and then how to speak virtually. That's a system. What about your videos? Evan Carmichael gave us such great stuff on Friday that you can use, but you got to have good videos. That's what I can help you with. A system on how to close with impact. And one of the best ways to energize your listeners is with humor. And Devang Patel, one of our longtime members, has mastered that. And when Devang hired me six years ago, he wrote this. And let me just read that to you. I believe in coaching because every time I hire a coach, it makes me even more money. Plus, investing with Joel Weldon was one of the best coaching investments I have ever made. Well, thank you, Devang. So. So let's talk about the investment. Unlike most coaching programs that you've been involved in, this is a one time investment. There's no monthly or annual fees. Once you're in, you got me. The investment for me to work with you one on one is normally $10,000 for eight hours. But instead of that 10,000, if you're a Genius Network member, you save $2,100 one time. That's $7,900. But wait, there's more. As Kevin Harrington would have said on his commercials, there's no Time limit. It's not going to be eight hours. Once you invest, you get me forever. That's a bonus for this annual event. Now, you might be thinking, Joel, how can you do that? It's very simple because of the systems. When you learn these systems, which are so simple and easy to grasp, you're going to be able to use them immediately and get results immediately. And once you have them, you're not going to need me that much. But yet you can always use that unlimited time. Bounce ideas off me, have me write introductions for you, check your slides. It doesn't have to be for an entire presentation. I want to make sure that I have time. So just like I have for the 167 Genius Network members that have hired me in the last seven years, I'm only going to take nine people from this annual event. That's it. At the $7,900. One time. If this sounds interesting, just write in the chat box. Joel, let's talk in the chat box. We're going to also give you a link to a handout where which has some more information on it and it's unconditionally guaranteed. Plus, we do these on Zoom and we transcribe them for you. So all of our conversations are printed out and you get a copy of everything. It could be for five minutes or two hours, whatever you need. Now, Joe, you asked me to work with John Raymonds and Bill Gerber on their two presentations. Bill on the accounting and John on the investment. What did you think of those talks that they delivered?

They were both terrible. I didn't like you. No, I'm kidding. No, they were great. They were fantastic. You know, here's the biggest thing too, with John. See, like, if you would not helped him with that, I don't know if John ever would have like agreed to do it. So, I mean, he probably would have. But I thought they were fantastic. And I got so much great feedback in the Feed Forward forums about those talks. So thank you.

Well, as John said, he's not a speaker, but he has such wisdom to share. And what did I do? I just helped bring out the best of John. This was his material, but it needed to be organized and structured so you could follow it. And he was so open and willing to listen to suggestions. Same with Bill Gerber. When I came up with the dating theme, it was because he said he's a wild and crazy guy. Let's put that in. And when we work together, I don't beat you up. There's no negative criticism. I don't ask you to be like another speaker or be a stage performer. The key to this system is to be you. John Raymond was John. Bill Gerber was Bill. So what will I do then? If I'm not going to pick on you or change you, I'm going to look for your strengths and encourage you with positive reinforcement to bring out your uniqueness, to add clarity and conciseness to your message and help you connect the message even better to your audience. Now, let me just name drop a few people since this is a commercial. Ask any of these people. And these are some high visibility members. Dave Berg, Jason Campbell, Jennifer Carroll, Kevin Harrington, Liz Zura, Verne Harness, Jamie Hope, Mike Koenigs, Big Joe Clark, Mary Morrissey. Joe, you're in there too. These are all part of those 167 members. And Joe, what do you hear when you talk to these people about what I've done in seven years? Do you get a lot of complaints?

No.

No.

I mean, everyone loves you. I mean, I think the only complaint, because I'm not gonna lie, the only complaint is just your foul mouth. I mean, you use so much profanity. No, I'm kidding. You never hear Joe, I think I'd love to actually hear you use profanity during this presentation while you're pitching. That would be awesome. No, I mean, you have helped so many people with literally understanding the before, during and after part of their presentation. So many of the talks that you have helped people with have led to books, they have led to full length presentations. And I mean, people didn't even know how to introduce themselves or even think about speaking to many people. I mean, half of these people weren't even speakers until you worked with them. And now they're doing seminars, now they're doing events. I mean, it's crazy. So that's, you know, that's what I think is the biggest strategic byproduct of you helping people.

Well, that's so kind of you to say. And that's why that tagline is important, using speaking to grow your business. So just type in the chat box, Joel, and let's talk if this seems to make sense to you. So on August 6, 2017, Joe, you and Eunice called me and said Ben Hardy is a new member and he wants to give a 10 minute talk at the September meeting, his first meeting. He's 26 years old, he's still in school and he doesn't really know how to talk, but he has a good idea. Would you help him? Do you remember that, Joe?

Oh, yeah, yeah, totally.

And so at his first meeting, he was going to give his talk. So Ben and I started working on his message. And halfway through the first call, he said, joel, I need what you have. You got to help me beyond this talk because I got to learn to speak better. And that began a three year journey with Ben of using speaking to grow his business. And grow it he did on Ben's testimonial video that he made for me at last year's annual event. Here's what he said. When I hired Joel to help me with that talk, it changed my life. That talk was so well received, it got me to speak on one of the most prestigious stages in the world. That talk opened the door to riches beyond my wildest dreams. And since then, that first talk, it's led to at least 1 1/2 million dollars in revenue. Joel, I love you. Ben always says he loves you. Well, Ben, I love you too, my friend. And I know you're in church today with the five kids in Lauren, so that's why you're not here. But, but let me ask you this question for you as a member. What if Ben was not prepared and confident and equipped with a powerful message three years ago, he would have missed out on that opportunity and the rewards that followed that 10 minute talk. So what about you? Are you missing out because your speaking skills aren't what they could be? And who is missing out on hearing your message because your speaking skills aren't what they could be? So, fellow Genius network members, you're going to love the opportunities coming your way and you're going to love using these systems to grow your business. And when you do, you're going to see your dreams come true.

Joe, thank you. Joel, thank you. And you know, I hope you read all these comments that people have posted here because you have a lot of real respect and real appreciation and you have, aside from, you know, just your business and helping people, you're a really great testament to living a good life. I mean, you've been so many talks about health and how you take care of yourself. And you also have built a life where you, you know, spend a lot of time doing what you love to do, which is how many times you been on Lake Powell?

1689 days when you were there. But I had another week after you left, so yeah, that's four and a half years over the last 30 years on that boat. So we've averaged two months a year while I was young and my daughters were younger. They were raised up there. And as A result, we have the family that I have. And now my youngest daughter is joining us at Genius Network, and gonna be. She's been part of our company for a while, and so is my oldest daughter.

Which is awesome. And, you know, I'll tell you, if the world ever, like, zombies took over and, you know, everything got really crazy, I would probably go find you and then have you be like the survival guy, because he's really good at that stuff.

Yeah.

I mean, that's only because I'm the oldest member of Genius Network, and when you stay as many years as. As you should, you'll be treated with respect like Joe treats me as the old man in the group. But I'm not planning to go anywhere for a long time.

No. Which is so awesome.

Put a note in the chat box and we'll talk.

Thank you, Joel. So. Hi, Joel.

Joe, love you.

And let me say this about when it comes to things that are offered and sponsors and things that are sold, as you know, I do not turn my events into Pitch a Thons. And I would never have anyone offered anything, and I don't recommend things that I don't have a high belief and experience with. And the. The way that I look at anything that someone's going to offer, if anyone would hire Joel and you don't, you know, consider it an incredible value, I would even back it up with. With guaranteeing it. So I'm not going to recommend anything that has a fee to it that I don't think is going to make you money. In the same way that even Genius Network membership, it's a school that pays you to attend. So you, you know, those are the things that we will recommend, because that's how I feel about it. So awesome. Yep. Thank you. And Paul Calligan. Joe's so old, his Social Security number is seven.

Five. Paul, it's five, not seven.

Yeah. Get your shit together, Paul. What the hell? Be accurate. If you're gonna post things, do your research. All right, so here's what we're gonna do next. I want you to write into the chat because I want to give Joel some more love. Those of you that have worked with Joel, what's the number one thing that the strategic byproduct that has come out of you hiring Joel? What has it done for you? Go ahead and write that in there. And while we're doing that, for about a minute or two, I'm going to get prepared for the interview that I'm going to do with Ms. Olympia. So let's take a minute or two to write into the chat all the love for Joel, if you could. Thank you.

Thank you, Joe.

Appreciate it.

All right, guys, give me a minute. I'm going to put my. I'm going to put my camera off until we get set up.

Hey, Joe, it's John Ratliff. I just want to say one quick thing. I probably work closer with Vern Harnish than just about anybody. And I know Joel works with Vern, and Vern is the best I've ever seen on stage. And I was actually surprised when he hired Joel. And he says behind Joel's back to me all the time is it's doubled his effectiveness, and more importantly, it's doubled his effectiveness with slides. He took his PowerPoint slides to an entirely new level. He changed everything about his speaking. And, I mean, I think that speaks volume. So, Joel, I thought I'd just give you that little props.

Well, John, thank you very much.

Hey, Joel, I'd like to do the same, give you some. Some shout out here. We have been working together for three weeks, and it has been awesome. Just awesome. I am so appreciative, as is Sheila, of your guidance and your coaching and taking everything that we are doing in the public arena to another level and learning so much. Thanks for all your coaching. I really appreciate it. Can't wait to continue. Looking forward to working with you. And I just would recommend anybody thinking about it work with Joel.

Yeah, I am going to jump in as well, Joel. And one of the things that for anybody that has a large group, I have a group like the annual event here with financial advisors. I have the privilege of coaching and having someone like Joel come into your group and work not only with your clients, but with you. The impact has been amazing. Joel, I don't remember how many years it's been, but it's been several years.

Five years.

Yeah.

Five years that we've had the privilege of working together. And I'm looking for many more. So thank you, Joel. Encourage anybody with a group to look at that relationship as well.

I would love to jump into. I started my first big national speaking gig. I was not paid and paid my own way to get out there raw and uncoached. Sent that video to Joel when he started coaching me. And since that time, I went from paying my own way and getting unpaid. I have not had to solicit a speaking gig in a year and a half. I have more offers than I can take, and people are now asking me to name my price, and that is a very direct result from Joel. You can see the progression in my videos. This man is a genius, and I am so glad that he was my who when I needed the how.

Oh, thank you.

Jamie, this is Wes. And let me just add this real quick. What Joel does is he changes your paradigm on the slides. Because before I would have a PowerPoint presentation with seven or eight slides, and he's like, no, take out the words and redo it with pictures, you know, and my slides went from, you know, not exaggerating seven or eight PowerPoint slides to 100, but they're pictures. And it's instead of the words, it's. The picture is the concept that you're trying to get across. And it's made a world of difference.

Thank you.

Will, you want a second there? Well, so Joel has been really instrumental, not just in my own slides, but the faculty that we bring on at our school. Their slides are being transformed because I'm overseeing that, and that's created a more effective learning experience. So, Joel, you are helping our students learn more effectively because of your wisdom about slides.

Oh, well, thank you, Sandra. And just it's a company investment, so if you have team members, they can be in on our calls. They can have access to all of the videos, the audios, the printed materials that you get as a member. And remember, it's a one time deal. So just like Sandra, I've been working with some of her people because she's a member of Genius Network and made the investment.

Hey, Joe. Joe. Bob Castellini. We're not finished yet. We're having a love fest here. You are an absolute gem. I would not be in Genius Network if not for you. You were kind enough to sponsor me last year and you've coached me for five years. Without your help, I would not have been able to tell my personal story and close a lot of new business. But moreover, you helped me give a eulogy for one of my dearest friends, which is probably one of the most challenging speeches I ever gave. And without your help, I would not have been able to execute. And you taught me how to ski Islam course on Lake Powell. But I'll never be as good as you. God bless you.

Joel. I got to jump in here. I got to jump in here. On the Tale of Bob's Boy. Bob, I believe that in life.

If.

You'Re lucky, you cross paths with someone that in that moment, your life has changed for the better. And Joel Weldon was that person for me. I met Joel almost 20 years ago, Joel. And he has been in my life through so Many ups and downs. And has been the reason that I went on to write the books, I've read and speak around the world and make an impact with my story. And the biggest thing he has taught me is that we are all who's. He's my greatest who certainly almost in the world, but genius for sure. And led me to Joe. But in this world of who's, we also are other people's who's. And we have to take care of ourselves. He has allowed me to be vulnerable enough to share my story. He knew my late husband. He was at his funeral. And he allowed me to share that story in such an authentic way. Because if we tell a story, we make it about our audience. It allows them to feel and it gives them a voice. And by shining the light through our wounds, we are allowed to open let others recognize that they're not alone and that they have a message. And so through that, I've been able to travel the world and impact lives. And I'm just forever grateful for Joel Weldon, especially teaching the art of telling a story and being raw and authentic and being vulnerable and allowing what happens to us happen through us and share it with the world. And so you are one of my greatest who's. This is a Whoville. I think of Genius Network as a true Whoville because it is just a community of who's. And what did my little gal friend say today? It is. I have a new friend. Burgundy. Burgundy Morgan. And she called. She said it's heart centered smarty pants. Is that awesome? We're a group of smart, centered, heart centered smarty pants. So a Whoville full of heart centered smarty pants. And you know what? You are the king of Whoville. You and Joe. Thank you, Joel Weldon. You brought me here, and you're a life changer, baby.

Okay.

I hope you found that video awesome and useful. So if you want to get a free copy of my book, I want you to click here. And if you want to watch some more videos that will be useful and awesome, click here. Go ahead. You're over here.

Do it now.

Come on. Thank you. Watch them.
