- For a corporation or organization fund your book, book tour or launch event?
- To have a positive impact on your community, your industry and the whole planet?
If you answered YES to some or all of the above, then read on, because you CAN do all these things. It IS possible. If I did it, then you can too – and you're going to be able to do it a lot faster than I did, because June 20 - 22, 2014, I'm going to show you how!
Over the course of 3 days, you're going to learn STEP-BY-STEP, from yours truly, how to land speaking and sponsorship deals with MAJOR corporations and brands, as well as how to fill and monetize your events in a variety of ways.
Here's My Story (The Short Version)...
My name is Michelle Villalobos, and I'm a full-time professional speaker, corporate trainer and consultant. Seven years ago, I was a "nobody" who got a taste of speaking in front of an audience and fell in love. I decided that I wanted to be a professional speaker, and I spent months trying to break into the speaking business, with little luck.
Today, I travel all around the country delivering speeches for clients – some you know, like American Express and The National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), and many others you haven't heard of.
Then four years ago, I decided I wanted to create my very own event from scratch. I had a small list, no venue, no funding, no sponsors, and very little idea about where to start.
What I DID have, in spades, was a burning desire to bring an amazing group of women entrepreneurs together and support them in building and growing their own businesses, while I built and grew my own.
The Women’s Success Summit has since become Miami’s largest business conference for entrepreneurial women! It has generated lots of media coverage, both local (like The Miami Herald) and national (just recently, The Chicago Tribune), and this event has helped thousands of women get inspired and take ACTION in their businesses each year.
And in creating the Summit, an incredible thing happened – I started to get booked for more speaking engagements!
I’ve also won awards as a result of founding the Summit (I was named one of Miami’s Top 20 under 40 in 2011,) as well as an abundance of other attention and buzz, I now have sponsors approaching me to get involved with my – now annual – event. Not to mention, the Summit is my single biggest source of consulting and training leads, and – most importantly – speaking engagements.
These days, I get to travel all over the country and even internationally to speak and share my stories and lessons with others. I get hired by amazing clients to speak, and brands like Constant Contact and smartcar sponsor the Summit every time. Revenue flows in from many directions, and I am very very grateful.
Make no mistake, becoming a professional speaker and building my own, corporate-sponsored event was NOT an easy road. I had a long, difficult learning curve to navigate, and I did it – mostly – with little guidance and support. There was no magical manual, and no one person telling me what to do every step of the way – believe me, I wish there had been. I have spent years learning how to create, fill and monetize my events, and then parlay that into more bookings, and I now I'll be teaching YOU how to do it too.
* Superstar Speaker Academy *
Since I founded the Summit, I've found that whenever I meet another speaker, author, coach or consultant, they invariably want to know 1) how I get all those "butts in seats," and 2) how I generate sponsorship revenues.
I realized that those questions reveal a NEED in the industry – there are people out there who want to host their own events, get them sponsored, and use them to drive more speaking business. Voila!! The Superstar Speaker Academy was born.
During this 3-day event I will personally take you through the essential steps for 1) Developing a compelling IDENTITY for speaking and events – your unique speaker "brand," which entails all of the words and the imagery associated with you as a speaker, and ensuring that that brand "fits" in the marketplace. Then we get into 2) How to deploy that brand, both online and off, to attract audiences and sponsors alike. Finally, we delve into 3) Monetization. How to turn that Identity and Influence into... INCOME!
I've been doing this work privately with clients for years now – you'll see some case studies and testimonials sprinkled throughout here to show you – and I know that ANYONE (or at least anyone with a mission, a message and a passion for spreading them!) can turn their story, their wisdom and their expertise into a career as a speaker or into a SPONSORED signature event.
There are thousands of potential HIGH-PAYING clients and sponsors out there who are in desperate need of your expertise and insight, and thousands more who are looking to attract and target YOUR ideal client too. Can you say PARTNERSHIP? That's right. When you partner with brands to deliver valuable information to an audience that you BOTH serve, everyone wins (and YOU get paid!)
This is the basis for the training at the Superstar Speaker Academy. You'll walk away with clear strategies and tactics to overcome your biggest challenges. For example, if you ever find yourself wondering...
- How can I book more speaking engagements?
- How can I sell more products and services?
- How can I land more clients, and benefit more people?
- How can I grow FASTER?
- How can I build a bigger platform of clients and prospects?
- Why can't I get a major company to hire me, promote me or contract my services?
If you ask yourself these questions, then the answer is you just don't know the SECRET STRATEGIES. I'll give you an example. I've discovered there's a "secret back door" into companies for training and development... and it's NOT the HR Department (too obvious). As a matter of fact, there are TWO secret back doors that I regularly use to get into major corporations, with a VERY high success rate. One of them is through the Marketing Department (and a very specific person within the marketing department). The other is... well, I'll tell you when I see you at the Superstar Speaker Academy 😉
Speaking of which, are you coming!? What are you waiting for, an invitation? Consider this IT.
* Client Case Study *
“Working with Michelle has been a joy and it’s paid off in spades!”
Before working with Michelle, I had trouble filling the room at my presentations. Since then, I’ve gotten tremendous clarity on my brand, identified new revenue streams and opportunities, and made major progress as a speaker in a short amount of time. For example, the four Miami Growth Advisors Events I put together last year brought in 100-plus registrations and approximately 70 attendees each. I didn’t think that would ever happen! The potential for speaking engagements and business development opportunities from the stage is limitless!
I believe Michelle has a gift for developing a personal brand, marketing that brand and then capitalizing on that brand. She has done it for herself and she’s done it for many others. Michelle is fun, bright and she’s a natural talent. Working with her has been a joy and it’s paid off in spades! You don’t want to miss this event, it will alter the course of your life forever!

Is Superstar Speaker Academy Right For You?
Before we go any further, you need to know that this event is not for everyone. This is an EXCLUSIVE, highly-interactive intensive training, led by me all 3 days, and limited to just 150 attendees.
Superstar Speaker Academy is right for you IF:
- You're serious about learning what it takes to have meeting planners & corporate clients love you and asking to re-book you again and again, year after year
- You want to do more than just “break even” with your own events – you want to leverage your speaking engagements into maximum profits and a stream of great clients
- You want to tap into the pool of lucrative sponsorship revenues and have major corporations pay you for sharing your message
- You know it’s time to get in front of a room filled with people who are ready and EAGER to invest in what you have to offer so that you can make more money in your business
- You want to hone your speaker identity & story to be more attractive to corporations and meeting planners, and be more compelling for audience members
- You’re tired of attending live events and walking away with no concrete plan to implement and follow through
That last one was a big one, right? If you’re anything like me, you’re probably tired of going to events where you get a ton of high-level, “up-in-the-ether” grand ideas and strategies, but no idea how to implement what you’ve learned. Well, that’s the opposite of what we're delivering at Superstar Speaking Academy.
My goal is to make this event an event that EVERYONE can walk away with a PLAN OF ACTION to create more opportunities, more income and more IMPACT on the planet.
You may be wondering, why the limited seating? Why not have a huge event?
Though I love big events (like the Summit), a huge room with an enormous audience is simply not the right environment for the kind of in-depth work we're going to do over these 3 days. This is a TRAINING event, not a motivational one (though you probably WILL feel very motivated). I'll be delivering my very best content over 3 solid days (I hope you don't get sick of me!), and for that, I prefer a more intimate audience, plain and simple.
Another reason we're keeping it intimate because I've hired a highly-trained team of 5 "breakthrough coaches" to travel to Miami and support you in your learning onsite. If you're stuck, challenged, have a question or just need a sounding board, these people are here for you.
For this to work, for you to walk away with a real blueprint for speaking success, and get all your questions answered, we only have room for serious speakers who are seriously committed to stepping up their speaker game... Seriously.
The event is June 20 - 22, 2014 at The Mayfair Hotel in Coconut Grove, Florida (an easy 15-20 minute cab ride from MIA airport).
What are you waiting for? Just DO this!

As an ADDED BONUS, I’m inviting my dear friend and colleague, Wendy Stevens, AKA: "Coach Wendy Stevens" to speak at this event. Coach Wendy Stevens is a master internet marketer and creator of several incredibly PROFITABLE online programs. Why do you need to learn from Wendy? Because as a speaker you're a content producer, and the world is HUNGRY for your information. One of the quickest and easiest ways to generate revenue is to package it and sell it online.
Just of a few of the programs Wendy has launched into multimillion dollar earnings: "Platinum Prospecting," "6-Figure Bootcamp" and most recently, "The 5 Pillars Of Online Sales Success." Wendy has spoken to and delivered sales training for thousands upon thousands of professionals, and co-authored "The Best of Guerrilla Marketing," with marketing legend Jay Conrad Levinson. There simply isn't enough room on this site to list everything that Wendy has accomplished, but trust me, you're in for a TREAT.

“Stand out in the marketplace so you can make real money now!”
Time and again, I have seen Michelle help a client get to the core of what they are trying to share and then strategically put it in a package that is sexy and marketable. Michelle Villalobos has an unbelievable ability to connect the dots. One of her gifts is her ability to take a large amount of information and strategically chip away until you are left only with what’s relevant, marketable, and income producing.
If you are looking for clarity to help your message stand out in the marketplace so you can make real money now, Michelle Villalobos is exactly what you have been looking for!

* Client Case Studies *
I’ve been able to cut my work week in half, hire staff, make more money than before AND spend more time with my family!”
As a brand-new mom and entrepreneur in the travel business, I had to find a way to work smart, not hard, so I could earn what I’m worth AND spend quality time with my family. So after attending one of Michelle’s events, I took the journey of clarifying my identity, influence and income. What I realized was that in my field (travel sales), generalists don’t make money – but specialists do. So I found and focused on a lucrative niche: group events at sea. Just by concentrating on this niche and branding myself around it, I’ve been able to cut my work week in half, hire new agents AND make more money than before.
Now I give better service to my top clients, generate more referrals, and with my extra time, I’m concentrating on what will take my business to the next level – all while having more time to spend with my family. Michelle’s events are a GAME CHANGER and I can’t tell you enough how happy I am that I attended my first one – and several more since!

“Michelle has completely changed me and my relationship to my business!”
At one of Michelle’s events, I realized that I was on the wrong path in my career. I was doing all the things that I hated doing in my family’s business, like logistics, operations and HR.
Over the past year, Michelle has helped me completely shift focus to my talents and where I bring the most value: being the FACE of the business. Now I am doing what I do best: speaking, TV appearances, and connecting with people. Because of my work with Michelle, we are currently producing 2 reality TV pilots – one for the US and one for Latin America!
Michelle teaches people how to make money with the gifts that they naturally have so that work doesn’t feel like work. She’s opened my eyes to a world that I didn’t know existed! No matter what Michelle does, I will be there in the front row learning, growing and taking lots of notes.
